Getulio Alviani was born in Udine (Italy) in 1939. Until 1959 Alviani dedicated himself to the study of problems relating to structured plasticity and visual communication in general, collaborating with industry as a graphic artist, designer and art director. He also produced polyvalent monochrome structures in relation to the environment, which he studied the possibilities of transforming in constructive and visual terms.

His Vibrating Texture Surfaces in steel and aluminum, started in 1960, represent the most extensive and best known of his projects.
