Alessandro Fiorentino is an Italian architect,
designer and master of contemporary wood
marquetry, recognised as one of the leading
figures in the revival of the historic Sorrento
marquetry tradition.
After an international architectural career, in
the 1980s he devoted himself to rediscovering
and renewing the ancient inlay techniques of

craftsmanship.
In 1993 he founded the MUTA – Sorrento
Wood Inlay Museum-Workshop, located in
the historic Palazzo Pomarici Santomasi, with

Fiorentino’s collections have been exhibited
internationally (including New York, Verona
and Florence) and represent one of the most
refined expressions of contemporary
