A story that shapes a century of art, territory, and passion. Ceramiche Rometti was founded in 1927 in Umbertide, from the insight of the skilled ceramist Settimio Rometti who turns to the collaboration of his nephews, Aspromonte Rometti and Dante Baldelli. In an atmosphere of cultural ferment akin to the avant-gardes of the early 20th century, the dream to be realized has a precise and ambitious form: Rometti will become the synthesis of art, craft, and industrial production, a new way of reading expressivity and of highlighting the potential of ceramics.
Freeing themselves from all formal constraint, the artists experiment with sculpted figures, vases, lamps, plates, limited-edition graffiti-inspired pieces and paintings, making uniqueness their strength. Rometti’s style is the eclectic, timeless fruit of an artisanal and artistic practice in which the impulses of European avant-gardes fuse with an emotional attachment to the Umbrian territory and its traditions. This fortunate union enhances the techniques and materials kept by local artisans: natural clay drawn from caves bathed by the Tiber River, hand-forming on the wheel, objects engobed with a special plaster that highlights the depth of colors and decorations, these are part of the recipe of uniqueness that has made Rometti pieces among the most sought-after by collectors worldwide. Over the decades and the artistic-cultural currents, but also through the ups and downs of the company’s history, Rometti remains an essential reference point in ceramic art, collaborating with leading design names and earning numerous accolades, including the gold medal at the International Exposition in Nice and various awards at the Milan Triennale. With the arrival of Massimo Monini, a patron and entrepreneur of art, and Jean-Christophe Clair, a versatile and visionary artistic director, Rometti began in 2012 a new and prosperous phase, still ongoing. The extraordinary skill of the two manager-artists lies in finding a perfect balance between a contemporary vision and the valorization of the Rometti heritage. The Manifattura boasts prestigious collaborations with brands and artists who have chosen its uniqueness to produce exclusive pieces and collections. B&B, Roche Bobois, Cartier, Borbonese, Fresh and many other major international design brands, names such as Ambrogio Pozzi, Liliane Lijn, Sergio Fiorentino, Chantal Thomass, Studio MAMO, Christian Tortu, Ugo La Pietra and Kenzo Takada: a constellation that shapes the past and present history of the iconic Rometti brand, fueling the collector’s pursuit for pieces that have enriched almost a century of art.
