Turns out Enrico Prampolini was an Italian Futurist painter, sculptor and stage designer, born in 1894 in Modena. Regrettably, he assisted in the design of the Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution held in Rome, opened by Benito Mussolini in 1932.

His work is in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum.
