Mauro Manetti was an Italian designer and manufacturer based in Florence, active primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. He became widely known for producing high-end decorative objects in cast and silver-plated metal, including ice buckets shaped like fruit, animals, and birds — most famously, the pineapple. He produced his products in Italy with the Fonderia d'Arte Firenze (Florence Foundry of Arts). See less
