New and exciting collections of ceramics were born from the close collaboration between Bitossi and architect-designer Ettore Sottsass which then had a strong impact on the manufacturing activities at Montelupo Fiorentino. Since 1955 their uninterrupted relationship has led to the creation of a new expression with rare ceramics that immortalize memories of travels in India and the United States as well as particular life experiences.
