In the realm of contemporary ceramic art, the name Gabriele Mengoni shines as a singular beacon: an undisputed master who has revived the ancient wisdom of the great ceramists of the past.

Gold: Between Humility and Splendour
The artworks of Gabriele Mengoni are the culmination of years of dedicated study and personal research into ancient texts and ceramic techniques. Inspired by the enigmatic knowledge of Mastro Giorgio Andreoli, the master ceramist who revolutionised Renaissance ceramics in the 15th century, Mengoni undertook a meticulous process of historical analysis and practical experimentation. This allowed him to decode and revive the long-lost lustreware technique, a craft shrouded in secrecy for centuries. In tandem, Mengoni reimagined the 15th-century abborchiato bowls, transforming them into contemporary masterpieces that harmoniously blend tradition with modernity.
