He was invited by Economic society of Chiavari, to rework some chairs in the French Empire style. He was asked to simplify the decorative elements and lighten the structural elements. In this way, the new chair model named campanino was created. The chair was a success immediately and soon many factories opened in Chiavari and surrounding towns. When Gaetano Descalzi died in 1855, about 600 workers were making chiavarine. The success of the chair from Chiavari decreased after the introduction of the Austrian Thonet chairs.
