[edit] Life
Born in Turin, Fabro moved to Milan in 1959, continuing to live and work there until his death.
The Arte Povera movement often used unusual materials and unorthodox ideas. His best known works were sculptural reliefs of Italy made out of glass, steel, bronze, gold and even soft leather.
He died on 22 June 2007 in Milan following a heart attack.[1]
