Description
The ocean liners Conte Grande, Conte Biancamano, Giulio Cesare and Andrea Doria linked Italy with North and South America, while the Oceania and Africa did the same for those continents, representing the creativity of Italian industry abroad. In connection with work on the ships, Ponti summoned such famous artists as Massimo Campigli, Salvatore Fiume and Fausto Melotti to collaborate, as well as highly skilled decorators and craftsmen, including Paolo de Poli and Piero Fornasetti.
The transitory nature of Ponti’s naval projects - these ships were in service for only two decades before being supplanted by air transport - has caused a certain lack of critical attention to them; happily, this work allows a wider audience to rediscover a little-known chapter in the vast activity of the Milan master and in the history of Italian interior decoration.
