L'Ospitalità, 1930 ca

Polychrome glazed ceramic sculpture
Finally, Ponti's artistic direction at Richard Ginori represented an opportunity to experiment with his instinctive ability to weave strong forms of collaboration with the artists, which will connote all his subsequent design activity. Think, for example, of the Two figures (La letizia e L'ospitalità), made around 1923-25 on a plastic model by Salvatore Saponaro, or the Great table triumph for the Italian embassies, which he designed in 1926 together with Tomaso Buzzi and which it was modeled in white porcelain by Italo Griselli, with finds in gold marked with an agate tip by Elena Diana. Within these fruitful forms of collaboration, he developed his concept of productive symbiosis between art and industry again, as he himself stated during the preparation of the 1930 Triennale program: "Art is the genre, industry is the condition". In his role as artistic director of Richard Ginori - appointed, with the brilliant intuition of the company, as an architect and not a ceramist - he therefore had the opportunity to express his aspiration to compare the rigor of style with the productive needs of large industry. In fact, as he wrote in the Italian house: "Industry makes style and generates style: industry is the way of our time". And if the important collaborations that he started with other industries starting from the early thirties, after leaving Richard Ginori, had a decisive impact on the formation of future Italian design, this specific experience in the ceramic field really represented, as Paolo said Portuguese, the "prehistory" of design
