In the early
decades of the twentieth century, the Institute of Art in Nove, witnessed
the end of the favoured style of the nineteenth century. In fact in 1942,
with the arrival of the director Andrea Parini, there was a shift
towards a more modern line of production.
Merit is attributed to Parini
for the new style of work which arose with a generation of artists in the
area of Vicentino. This became the most renowned centre in Italy for research
and contemporary art towards the development of ceramics.
There was a desire to adapt
to this new era and to encourage local artists to make unique pieces.
