Bio:
Aldo Londi (1896–2003) served as artistic director at Bitossi in Montelupo Fiorentino for over four decades and created the company’s most famous series, including the “Rimini Blu” line launched in the 1950s. The series combines handmade terracotta, deep relief patterns, and vibrant blue-green glazes, making it a hallmark of Italian modernism and postwar ceramic artistry.
