Domenico Pinto



Born here in Grottaglie, where he is known by all as "the Professor", he taught ceramic decoration for years at the local State Institute of Art. Over the years he has drawn colors and shapes from tradition, then developing them in a contemporary key. Still today it operates in the heart of the ancient ceramics district of Grottaglie, continuing its tireless work of reading and revisiting the ceramic tradition of Grottaglie.

Certainly an outsider among the lines of MENA FUECO, the Professor offers us his most experimental works: technical virtuosity and poetry merge and amalgamate with clay.

His absolutely refined artistic ceramics are present in Italian and foreign private collections and his customers, who have now become friends, come back to visit him frequently to discuss with him and admire his new works.

An eternal kid spirit accompanied by the wisdom and mastery that only experience can grant 👨🏻 🏫
