The 'Cacciapuoti' ceramic manufacturing company was founded in Naples by Cesare Cacciapuoti, belonging to a family of maiolicaari from Campania in the 19th Century. In 1930, the company was producing models and pieces in high quality and quantity. Among the ceramists working for the manufacturee were Francesco De Matteis, Giuseppe Granello, Ruffo Giuntini, Silvio Righetto, Giuseppe Renda, Achille D'Orsi and De Martino.
In these years some animalist models are supplied to the manufactory by the sculptor and ceramist Sirio Tofanari.
Extremely accurate from a technical point of view, the company's production, which consists of traditional and modern ceramics, knick-knacks, statuettes and figurines in 18th-century costumes, receives important awards for major Italian and foreign exhibitions. Many works of the 'Gres d'Arte Cacciapuoti' are part of the most important public and private collections of Italian ceramics of the 20th century. See less
