Giotto Giannoni (Monte San Savino, March 8, 1895 – Monte San Savino, August 6, 1963) was an important Italian ceramist, sculptor and painter. Born in Monte San Savino, he drew inspiration from the centuries-old Savinese ceramic tradition. He trained as a modeler, turner and painter, combining technical mastery with a personal innovative research. The Workshop and production: He founded the artisanal workshop "Ceramiche Giotto", already active in the 1920s. Under his leadership, the manufactory stood out for style and creativity, later also relying on collaborators such as Donatello Ceppodomo. He passed away in 1963 at the age of 68.
