Zulimo ARETINI (1884-1965) was an artist born in Monte San Savino in the province of Arezzo in 1884. He'd apprenticed at his family's business where he learned the secrets of sgraffito, typical of Umbrian ceramics of the sixteenth century which he interprets it in a modern and original way. Active at the "Fornaci di San Lorenzo" manufactory of Galileo Chini in 1909 and subsequently at the "Richard-Ginori" of Sesto Fiorentino. During the 1920s he took part in numerous exhibitions (Pesaro, Turin, Livorno and Florence), enjoying success with the public and critics. After leaving the Fontevegge factory, he opened a small ceramic factory in Deruta which, in 1929, joined the "Italian Maioliche Artistiche Consortium" ("C.I.M.A."), commissioned by Biagio Biagiotti, also collaborating with the "Salamandra". In the second half of the '40s, after a period of residence in Switzerland, in Geneva, for reasons of work, his prolific ceramist career continues in northern Italy between Novara and Pavia where, from 1949 to 1959, he founded at least three new factories. In 1949 in Cameri, in the province of Novara, teaches in an art workshop in the Renaissance sense of the term, whose workers are inspired and dominated by the exuberant creativity of the Master. The ceramic works of this period that come out from the C.A.S.A. (Ceramica Artistica Aretini s.p.a.), are made up of fine artifacts, enamelled and decorated with pure gold or metallic luster, made to satisfy mainly the demands of the foreign market. 1959 he moved from Casteggio to Arezzo, where he lived in Via Monte Falterona. At the end of 1960 a new factory called Ceramica d'Arte was registered in the Register of craftsmen Aretini, active in Arezzo in Via Marco Perennio until 1961. The presentation of the works dell'Aretini in the Tuscan city is closed, in 1960, by a personal exhibition held in the premises of the Vasari Gallery: about fifty works consisting of paintings and ceramics were exhibited there summarized the long artistic career, probably started with the first move, documented in 1909, from Monte San Savino to Borgo San Lorenzo. In 1961 he moved to Rome at the home of his daughter Neda, and 4 years later passed away. less
