In 1926, at the age of just 18, Giovanni Gariboldi joined Ginori as an apprentice model maker under master Gio Ponti. Years later amidst a changing, modern, post-war society, Gariboldi took helm of Ginori as Artistic Director. Through his appreciation for functionality, sincerity of form and ability to capture the desires of a new modern society, Gariboldi left a legacy as one of the most influential figures in Italian modernism & decorative arts.
