Piero Gherardi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piero Gherardi (November 20, 1909 – June 8, 1971) was the brilliant Costume and Set Designer of Federico Fellini's La dolce vita and 8 1/2 for which he won two Oscars.
Born in Poppi, Tuscany, Piero Gherardi began his artistic collaboration with Fellini during the 1953 production of I vitelloni. The director recognized his talent for scouting locations and extras and his deep knowledge of the region of Lazio. Gherardi soon proved his skills in set design by building Cabiria's shack in Fellini's Le notti di Cabiria (1957).[1]
Before his untimely death in Rome in 1971, Gherardi had mastered numerous roles as Costume Designer, Production Designer, Art Director, and Set Decorator.
