Italo Ottinetti – The passion for aluminium since 1920

In 1920, Italo Ottinetti, a veteran of the Great War, together with some partners, established in Baveno, the typical village on Lake Maggiore currently in the province of Verbania, the metallurgical company that is still named after him today. In the small factory, aluminium was fully processed: the bar was melted to obtain the plate that in turn was rolled to obtain the disk from which, after pressing or turning, the finished product was obtained. A purely craftmade production of high-quality articles that Italo Ottinetti sold personally, travelling all over Italy as far as Sicily. At that time, the range included cutlery, pots and pans and household accessories, as documented by the catalogue of 1925.
