Gaetano Kanizsa was an Italian psychologist born on August 18, 1913, in Trieste. He is recognized as one of the leading representatives of Gestalt theory in Italy, alongside his teacher Cesare Musatti and his fellow student Fabio Metelli. Kanizsa made significant contributions to the understanding of perception and visual illusion, particularly through his work on the Kanizsa triangle, which illustrates how our minds perceive shapes that are not explicitly drawn. His influence extends to various fields within psychology and cognitive science.
