\nLondon, UK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Giacomo Alessi\u2019s work celebrates the glorious past of Sicilian ceramics while going for its renewal.
\nA deep understanding of Caltagirone\u2019s millennial tradition of pottery making<\/a> combined with a profound love for the complex and fascinating art of creating a meaningful something out of wet clay is the secret of Alessi\u2019s sculptures.<\/p>\n

Along with his handcrafted production – famous throughout the world – Giacomo Alessi has also been making his own \u201cprivate\u201d works. He takes pride, rightful pride, in showing his collection to a few privileged friends. But art cannot be concealed or silenced\u2026 his visitors spread the news and Giacomo has rapidly won international recognition.<\/p>\n

Manuela and I met Giacomo Alessi<\/a> in Caltagirone in 2007. We were starting our fine Italian ceramics web store and Giacomo was probably the very first artist we invited to join our project. A hesitant \u201clet\u2019s try\u2026\u201d was enough for us to fly to Sicily and visit him in his workshop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/em>Giacomo is an impressively vital, intelligent, genial person and a very friendly one. He opened his workshop and his house to us. Watching him shape the clay is a memorable experience, not less so listening to his stories about the origins of traditional Sicilian ceramics.<\/p>\n

The last afternoon we spent in Caltagirone is so vivid in our minds. After lunch he casually asked: \u201cWould you girls like to visit my private collection?\u201d Of course! We drove downtown, to a large flat that he uses as a private museum. Wow \u2026 Hundreds of pieces \u2013 unique ceramic sculptures and small installations \u2013 were displayed in every single room, crowding shelves, walls, ad hoc stands. Manuela and I were amazed by the quality of Alessi\u2019s pieces and enormously delighted to have the artist himself guide us through his work.\u00a0 It was one of those special moments in life that won\u2019t be forgotten.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Bernard Chauchet, the owner of a contemporary art gallery in London, was also granted the rare privilege of a private tour in Alessi\u2019s sanctuary, which inspired him to invite Alessi to exhibit his works in London. Displaying fifty ceramic sculptures, the exhibition opened a few days ago and it.<\/p>\n

Featured in some of the most important exhibitions of ceramics at the national and international level, Giacomo Alessi was also invited to the 54th Venice Biennale this year. He was made a knight of the Italian Republic in 2007 and he is also a signatory of the \u201cManifesto for the Applied Arts of the New Century\u201d and included in the book of Living Human Treasures of the UNESCO Register of Intangible Heritage for Sicily.<\/p>\n
