Antonio Feltrinelli (Milan, 1887 - Gargnano, 1942) was an Italian entrepreneur, painter and patron. After studying law, he worked for the family company that operated in wood processing, but which he successfully diversified . He left a significant part of his fortune to the Accademia d'Italia for the award of national and international prizes that should bear his name. After the collapse of fascism, this task was transferred to the re-established Accademia dei Lincei , which finances the Premio Antonio Feltrinelli from the proceeds of this legacy, which since 1967 has been known as Fondo Antonio Feltrinelli.
