Following the same principle, the artistic residence intended to cross the ancient craft tradition with the aim of putting into dialogue the ceramic manufacture of Capodimonte with new artistic work.Participants were invited, with the support of the artisans, to experiment with cooking, patinas and decorations, with the aim of encouraging the creation of an aesthetic and historical dialogue between the new productions and the manufactures that have followed each other over the decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Giovanni Caselli Institute<\/strong>Inside the Real Bosco di Capodimonte, in the 18th century the Istituto housed the Real Porcelain Factory, one of the Royal Manufactures founded by Charles III of Bourbon.Since the 60s this prestigious building is home to the Istituto Giovanni Caselli which contributes to the diffusion of the ceramics culture through the workshop and the unique processing departments in Campania and in the world for their workers and their manual artistic historicity. The fundamental mission of the G. Caselli Institute is to create technicians and designers who are particularly expert, albeit with different skills, in the different sectors and sectors of the ceramic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Capodimonte porcelain owes its name to the homonymous hilly area of Naples, where King Charles of Bourbon and his wife Maria Amalia of Saxony, in the mid-eighteenth century, founded the Royal Factory of Capodimonte. Since the beginning the main collaborators was lead figures such as the Belgian chemist Livio Ottavio Schepers and the painter Giovanni Caselli from Piacenza. During the early period of research on porcelain at the headquarters of the Royal Palace of Naples, Caselli experimented with the study and application of colors and gold. The porcelain produced in this area has peculiar characteristics that clearly distinguish it from the porcelain of northern Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Material characteristics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no kaolin in its dough therefore it consists of a fusion of various clays coming from the southern quarries mixed with feldspar hence a soft, milky-colored mixture results that will make this unique manufactory in the history of porcelain. The porcelain, made in this way, withdraws about 20% during cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the activity of the Real Factory, in the plastic sector, objects were produced with scenes of court life mostly in biscuit (\u201cCaduta dei Giganti\u201d by Filippo Tagliolini, \u201cLaocoonte\u201d, \u201cRatto d\u2019Europa\u201d, \u201cPigmalione\u201d, \u201cLe Tre Grazie\u201d by Canova): a non-polished ceramic material such as porcelain, opaque, as it is not painted with the second firing and the crystalline blanket<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Processing steps <\/strong>\u2022 model analysis and feasibility assessment\u2022 creation of original shape\u2022 realization of the prototype (molding, assembly, finishing, plastic applications)\u2022 drying\u2022 baking of the biscuit\u2022 painting \/ enamelling\u2022 baking \u201cglossy\u201d\u2022 decoration<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Realised projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Diego Cibelli Winner of the Open Call 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diego Cibelli was born in Naples in 1987.
