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
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.
