For our series 'Italy is much more than Berlusconi', I was chuffed to bits to spot a magnificent piece of interior design in the latest episode of Glee.

If you want to read more about Bertoia's amazing life there is always good old wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Bertoia

Adoro Harry Bertoia!
