Harvey Guzzini is often mistakenly mistaken lying as the name of an active lighting designer in the 1960s and 1970s. In reality, the label belongs to a lighting company founded by six guzzini brothers - raimondo, giovanni, virgilio, giuseppe, adolfo and giannunzio - inspired by the 1950 film harvey, starring james stewart. Adding to the historical archives, it seems that the guzzini company changed its name in the 20th century, passing several times to harvey creazioni, harvey guzzini, guzzini, iguzzini and illuminazione guzzini. Harvey creazioni was founded in 1959 by raimondo in recanti (on the east central coast of italy) with the aim of producing copper-plated decorative objects. Four years later, in june 1963, the six brothers combined and founded harvey creazioni di guzzini, expanding their production to include suspensions, candlesticks, lamps and streetlights. The two brothers employed architect-designer luigi massoni, who was introduced to the guzzini brothers by the main plastic importer maurizio adreani, as head of design, brand strategy, public relations and advertising.
