About the Item

Albisola ceramic jug, hand painted. ALBA DOCILIA manufacture. Italy, early twentieth century Origin Italy Period Early twentieth century Brand ALBA DOCILIA In 1919 the Albanian Adolfo Rossello, in partnership with a group of financiers, Eng. Guglielmo Camogli, the honorable Michelino Poggi, the lawyer Costantino Barile and Andrea Seitun, returns to his hometown and opens an artisan ceramic factory called 'Alba Docilia', the ancient Roman name of Albisola. In 1922 the 'Alba Docilia', directed at the time by the Roman painter Mario Gambetta, won a medal at the Diano Marina Exhibition and since 1923 has regularly participated in the Milan Trade Fair. In 1923 the factory was transformed into a cooperative company and the following year Adolfo Rossello and his children Angela Teresa, Vittorina, Francesco Adolfo and Pietro became the sole owners. In 1925 the factory took part in the 2nd Monza Biennale. In 1928 the company is present at the Artisan Exhibition of Savona and participates in the Exhibition of Artisan Products of the Albisolese Week of 1933 and '34. Also in 1934, the manufacture's production was presented at the exhibitions in Tripoli, Leipzig and Vienna. In 1938 he was present at the Ligurian Ceramics Exhibition in Rome and at the Florence Handicraft Fair, which he also participated in in 1956 and 1958. Among the ceramists who collaborated with the company between the first and second post-war periods, among others appear: Virio da Savona, Guglielmo Bozzano, Romeo Bevilacqua, Cerruti, Carlo Frumento, Benedetto Gaggero, Ida Milani, Amleto Modolo and Ivos Pacetti. Thanks to the commercial success achieved, the company, in addition to the traditional shop-laboratory in via Stefano Grosso 18 in Albissola Marina, opened a laboratory-shop in Genoa, in Salita S. Matteo 23, around 1930. The factory, managed by Francesco Adolfo Rossello, remains active until 13 December 1982.
