Works

The work of Giuseppe Locati is broad and eclectic, but can be divided here into artistic, literary and technical; this page presents the principal artistic works arranged by period. Two monographs have been published on them by the Mondadori house, the second in 2023.

Here is a link to the works of technical ingenuity (design and patents, see also Officine Locati), well showcased in the exhibition at the Pirellone “Giuseppe Locati, Ingenuity, work Art”. Here are the references for the philosophical works.
