Aldo Londi
Aldo Londi (Montelupo Fiorentino, 1911-2003), a tireless narrator of feelings and intuitions, lived a life dedicated to art: he was a painter and sculptor, but above all he was a ceramist. In 1946 Londi joined the Cav. G. Bitossi & Figli factory, a happy association that would see him as a protagonist for more than fifty years, first as artistic director, then as a tireless collaborator.Londi merges tradition and contemporaneity to create a modern product. His natural inclination to research allows him to undertake courageous explorations and define a new expressive language, stimulated by continuous technical and material experimentation.His ceramic expertise and artistic sensitivity were extraordinary qualities for the collaborations he undertook over the years with designers and architects such as: Ettore Sottsass, Remo Buti and many others.
