He worked as a draughtsman in Milan until World War I. The influence of Futurism and, particularly, the work of Fortunato Depero were fundamentally important in his cultural formation. His success as a draughtsman was established at the Prima Esposizione Internazionale delle Arti Decorative in Monza (1923), but he continued to diversify, designing fashion accessories such as handbags, shawls and poster advertisements for famous names such as Campari, Martini and Fabrique Nationale de Herstal. During the 15 years after World War I, Nizzoli demonstrated his remarkable talent for handling the most diverse forms of the avant-garde movements, from Futurism to Cubism, from the Viennese Secession style to Novecento Italiano, adapting them to the taste of his cultivated middle-class clientele. When he met Edoardo Persico who, with Giuseppe Pagano, had begun to transform the magazine Casabella into the main forum for architectural debate. Persico’s theoretical approach complemented Nizzoli’s more practical orientation, and some of the most significant artifacts of Italian Rationalism emerged from their collaboration. Nizzoli’s two best-known design projects are the Olivetti typewriter Lexicon 80 (1948) and the Necchi Mirella sewing machine (1957). He also designed the iconic Aurora 88 fountain pen (1948). He continued his architectural work, along the lines laid down by Persico in the early 1930s, working towards the integration of the arts with architecture.
