NOTES / REFERENCES : Born in Florence in 1873 Galileo Chini began working at the Giunti ceramic workshop in Bellariva and at the Richard Ginori workshop in Sesto Fiorentino. He founded the L Arte della Ceramica, in Florence in 1897, where he was the artistic director. In 1902, he established a firm called Chini and Company at Mugello and later the Fornaci Kilns di San Lorenzo. He also painted canvases that were acquired by Italian museums and designed opera sets for his close friend Giacomo Puccini. Galileo Chini created ceramics of rich and colorful luster decoration. The artistic journey of Galileo Chini was marked by progressive approaches to the Liberty style and to the Viennese Secession movement during the evolution of Italian Art Nouveau.
Chini exhibited his ceramics in London (1898), Paris (1900), Turin (1902) and the Brussels and St Petersburg expositions where he won awards.
