	GIUSEPPE URSI, CERAMICIST AND SCULPTOR EXHIBITION IN AREZZO, TUSCANY, NOVEMBER 2007
	THE CULTURAL HERITAGE BOARD, THE PROVINCE OF AREZZO AND MANY COLLECTORS WANTED THIS EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO THIS IMPORTANT ITALIAN CERAMICIST AND SCULPTOR OF THE '900. OUR EARTHENWARE, WHICH WAS MADE AS A SINGLE PIECE, HAS A LONG STORY THAT WE BRIEFLY RESUME. WE CAN GIVE FURTHER INFORMATIONS ABOUT IT AND ABOUT G.URSI AND HIS WORKS TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE. THIS ARTIST, IN 1955 WANTED TO DEDICATE A WORK TO THE CAFFE DEI COSTANTI, A HISTORICAL CAFE IN AREZZO, THAT, AS ALSO OTHER FAMOUS ITALIAN CAFE OF THE EARLY '900, WAS A PLACE WHERE ARTISTS AND CULTURED PEOPLE USED TO MEET. GIUSEPPE URSI WANTED TO REPRESENT WITH THIS WORK THE ATMOSPHERE THAT THERE WAS IN THE CAFFE DEI COSTANTI AND IN ITALY IN THAT AGE, WHICH WAS THE PERIOD OF THE REBIRTH AND THE 'SWEET-LIFE' IN ITALY AFTER THE WORLD WAR 2. THIS WORK IN FACT REPRESENTS THE LIFE IN THAT AGE, WITH FAMOUS  LIQUORS, SWEETS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT ROUNDED THE 'SWEET-LIFE'. BESIDES THESE REFERENCES, IT IS SHOWN ALSO A MEDIEVAL TOWER THAT STANDS OUT IN THE UPPER PART OF THE EARTENWARE. MARKED AND SIGNED, THIS EARTHENWARE IS A SINGLE PIECE THAT FURNISHED THE CAFFE DEI COSTANTI FROM 1955 TO ITS CLOSING.
