Nicola Giustiniani (San Lorenzello, January 7, 1732 - Naples, May 24, 1815) was an Italian ceramic, one of the most important 18th century bellicos ceramists.
Son of Antonio, himself Ceramic, who came from Naples to Cerreto Sannita after the reconstruction of the town after the earthquake of June 5, 1688, Nicola Giustiniani was the founder of the homonymous majolica factory in via Marinella in Naples, destroyed from a bombing during World War II and then rebuilt elsewhere.
Nicola, after her paternal career, devoted herself from small to figulina art, producing, alongside the typical Neapolitan manufacture, a new, echoing way and cadence of the rococo.
Very young, Nicola moved to Naples where he was able to expose his mastery of figulina technique, deserving the nickname of a wealthy (full of ideas)
One of his most representative works, the Christ at Calvary, is guarded at the Sannio Museum of Benevento.
In his factory at Via Marinella, besides the Justinians, other dynasties of Neapolitan ceramists worked like the Massa, the Del Vecchio, the Grues, the Porreca and the Chianese. Bibliografiamodifica wikitesto Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
