Fortunato Depero (Fondo, March 30, 1892 - Rovereto, November 29, 1960) was an Italian painter, sculptor, designer, illustrator, set and costume designer.
He was one of the signatories of the aeropainting manifesto and a representative of the so-called second futurism.
Fortunato Depero was born in 1892 in Fondo, in the Val di Non, to Lorenzo Depero and Virginia Turri, both originally from the town of Vigo di Ton, while still very young Depero moved to Rovereto (at the time both the towns were territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). Here he studied at the Scuola Reale Elisabetta, an art institute frequented by many artists who would later become protagonists of the Italian cultural panorama of the twentieth century.
