Description from the seller

Alessi 'Mr. Basilico & Corbezzolo' Christmas figurine – AMGI39SET - Porcelain, hand-painted, by LPWK/Massimo Giacon, 2013

The exceptionally rare Alessi figurine set AMGI39SET – 'IL SIGNOR BASILICO & CORBEZZOLO,' designed by LPWK and Massimo Giacon, expresses the festive magic of the Christmas season in a charming, musical scene.

Product details:
Brand: A di Alessi
Designer: LPWK/Massimo Giacon
Design year: 2013
Hand-painted porcelain, carefully crafted with great care.
The product comes in original packaging + flyer, with a banderole.

Condition: very good condition (see pictures)

Very rare collectible, absolutely no longer available anywhere and very hard to find!

Design features
Massimo Giacon, known for his colorful and playful style, brings this piece to life with a minimalist yet expressive design.

Special highlights:
Artistic and collectible: a perfect addition to any Alessi or Christmas collection – this piece combines traditional Christmas symbolism with contemporary Italian design.
High-quality craftsmanship: Made from the finest porcelain and lovingly hand-painted to bring every detail to life.


Manufacturing process
Each figure is a hand-painted unique piece.
Through careful firing at 800 °C, the porcelain achieves a mirror-smooth surface and becomes extremely hard, preventing cracks or hairline fractures. In traditional porcelain painting, each figure is lovingly decorated with cheerful colors. This is done entirely by hand with a brush, not through a standardized foil coating. Therefore, each figure is slightly different and uniquely unmistakable.


Massimo Giacon
Massimo Giacon, born in 1961 in Padua, is a comic artist and illustrator, and is considered a pioneer of the renewal of the Italian comics scene. He divides his time between activities as a graphic designer, artist, designer, and musician.

LPWK – Laura Polinoro:
Laura Polinoro, born in Bergamo, completed a degree in art and communication at DAMS in Bologna. She initially worked in the field of contemporary dance, where she was involved in artistic coordination, costumes, and stage design. Subsequently, she worked as a researcher at Domus Academy in Milan. From 1990 to 1998, she led the Centro Studi Alessi, where she coordinated workshops both within the company and in collaboration with universities and design centers worldwide as a meta-designer and art director. During this period, she developed numerous editorial and communication projects. The products produced during this time are marked with the abbreviation 'CSA'. Since 2004, the products she has overseen bear the label 'LPWK'.

The Alessi porcelain Christmas figures.
The figures are a beautiful addition to the Alessi presepe nativity scene, but even without the nativity, they are cheerful Christmas decorations. The figures are hand-painted and can be placed near the nativity or used separately as decorations during the holidays. Give them a nice spot, and these Christmas figures will instantly bring a smile to your face!
