FRANCESCO GUARINO

Francesco Guarino Francesco Guarino's production follows Albisola's tradition of decorative pottery in a naturalistic way, and includes still life, landscapes, sculptures, and so on; also commissioned oil portraits. His work is produced entirely in majolica and consists of unique handcrafted items guaranteed by Francesco's artistic experience. He started working with masters of pottery in 1990 and later opened his own workshop, preferring to specialize in unique originals rather than mass production. Francesco Guarino has participated in art exhibitions at national and international level.

ALBISOLA: ART AND CERAMICS CENTRE

Albisola
Albisola is a small town in the province of Savona which, as well as being a wellknown holiday resort, can claim a position of national importance in the field of ceramics and majolica production. Albisola pottery is famous above all for its characteristic blue and white colours, known as "Antique Savona". Francesco's work moves within this artistic framework, applying his inborn
Albisola
talent to the typical Albisola technique. This talent is probably traceable to the heritage of his Sicilian origins, as this region is traditionally rich in artists dedicated to the creation of ceramics. Francesco is very versatile. His work is varied, without exaggeration or useless detail, with an eye to traditional styles. His work includes vases, sculptures, paintings, decorated plates, lamps, portraits, objects for interior decoration, landscapes, gift articles, all made to order. Another aspect of Francesco's varied artistic personality is his interest in sacred art. He has a wide production inspired by ancient traditon, and there is a rich section on sacred art on his website Portraits of the saints and the nativity and passion of Christ, sculptures of nativity figures, plates decorated with biblical scenes are only some of the items to be found on the link to sacred art. Sea, sun and mountains are only some of the attractions of this small but important centre in the province of Savona, and even if you are interested in only a few of these, treating yourself to a holiday in Albisola is worthwhile! If you come this way pay a visit to Francesco's studio and admire his work firsthand. It is situated opposite the railway station in Albisola Superiore, close to the motorway exit.
