Achille Lega (21 April 1899 – 28 January 1934) was an Italian painter. His early work was in the futurist style and he later became a cubist. Lega was born in Brisighella but lived in Florence from the age of ten. He first studied painting with Ludovico Tommasi, who belonged to the movement. In 1914, he enrolled into the Academy of Fine Arts but abandoned the studies after two years. Lega's first notable painting, The Pier of Livorno, was produced in 1914 under the influence of Tommasi, however, it went well beyond emulating the style of Tommasi.
