Cameri, 1950s origin cameri, novara, italy period 1950s (first half) author zulimo aretini (monte san savino, arezzo, 1884 – rome, 1965) descendant of an ancient family of umbrian-tuscan potters, he completed his apprenticeship at the family kiln in borgo fonte, learning the graffito decoration techniques typical of the umbrian-aretine ceramic tradition of the 16th century, which he interpreted in a modern and original way. He completed his studies in florence and milan, at the brera academy. He worked at galileo chini's fornaci di san lorenzo in 1909 and later at richard-ginori in sesto fiorentino. In 1918 he opened his own factory in monte san savino; in 1925, he opened a workshop in arezzo; then in fontevegge, in the province of perugia, where he founded the società anonima maioliche zulimo aretini, which later merged into c.i.m.a. (italian consortium of artistic maioliche) in 1929. In 1950, he founded the c.a.s.a. (ceramica artistica aretini) factory in cameri (novara), together with his son galileo and guido carnesecchi. He participated in the national ceramic competition in faenza in 1942 and 1952, and in 1951 he exhibited at the galleria p. Ranzini in milan. In the 1950s, ceramic sculpture became the focus of his artistic production. He finally moved to rome, where he died in 1965. Brand c.a.s.a.
