About the Item
The Giustiniani family was one of the most important in ceramic production in Naples, particularly from the 17th to the 19th century. The Giustiniani manufactory is famous for its "riggiole" (decorative tiles), which included archeological themes and historical reproductions, such as the famous "Alexander Mosaic." After being a successful manufactory, Giustiniani was acquired by the Stingo family in the 19th century, who continued to expand the company and keep the ceramic tradition alive. The Giustiniani family also extended its activities to Cerreto Sannita, another important ceramics production center in Campania. Several family members, such as Antonio Giustiniani, worked to create pieces that are now considered valuable works of art.
This vase is from Angelo Giustiniani, he was the son of Nicola Giustiniani, one of the key figures in this family of ceramists. He is the youngest of Nicola's seven children. Angelo later became a ceramic painter, and he was given the nickname "Angelo di Napoli" to distinguish him from another Angelo, who was the son of Paolo Giustiniani. The nickname helps to clarify the difference between the two individuals within the larger Giustiniani family, which had multiple generations involved in the ceramic arts.
Angelo's contributions are significant within the context of the family's legacy in the world of Neapolitan ceramics, continuing the tradition of artistry that his father Nicola had established.
The letters SPQR seen on the vase stand for "Senatus Populusque Romanus," which translates to "The Senate and the People of Rome." This phrase was a symbol of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire, representing the collective authority of the Senate (the governing body) and the Roman citizens (the people). It emphasized the unity and shared governance of Rome between the political elite (the Senate) and the general population. The acronym was used in various official documents, inscriptions, and monuments, and it remains a symbol of Rome and its historical significance.
A rare opportunity to acquire exquisite pieces from the renowned Giustiniani family, celebrated for their craftsmanship in Neapolitan ceramics. These hand-painted masterpieces trace the legacy of Antonio, Nicola, and their descendants, including Angelo di Napoli, a distinguished ceramic artist in his own right. Whether you're a collector or an art enthusiast, these exceptional pieces embody centuries of tradition and artistry. Don't miss out on owning a piece of history.
