Biography
Marcello Fantoni was born in Florence on October 1, 1915. Growing up, he became passionate about art, and therefore enrolled in the Art Institute of Porta Romana, to attend the course in the Art of Ceramics section. He graduated in 1934 and began his career as a ceramist. He himself will create the Ceramiche Fantoni factory in Florence, from which it will be very successful, both in Italy and abroad. During the Second World War Fantoni is involved in the partisan struggle in the mountains and, following the conclusion of the conflict, in 1946, he will expand his company. Given the modernity of his works, many of them have become part of some private collections and in the most important museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, but also in some museums in the United Kingdom and in the Japan. In Italy his works are exhibited at the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, at the National Museum of the Bargello and at the Department of Prints and Drawings of the Uffizi. In 1970 he founded his laboratory in Florence, the international school of ceramic art, where he continued to teach and work. Marcello Fantoni died in Florence in 2011.
