ROGER CAPRON (France, 1922 - 2006). Vase, ca.1970's. Ceramic. Signed on the base. Measurements: 29 cm x 14 cm x 14 cm. Vase made by the French ceramist Roger Capron. Of rectangular structure, chiseled with a synthetic sunflower on one of its sides, it presents an attractive aesthetic of archaic inspiration. Interested in drawing since he was a child, the ceramist Roger Capron studied Applied Arts in Paris between 1939 and 1943, and from 1945 he combined his artistic activity with teaching. In 1946 he settled in Vallauris, where he created a workshop known as Atelier Callis, fundamental in the renaissance of the art of ceramics in this locality. A few years later, in 1952, Capron acquired an abandoned ceramics factory in Vallauris and reopened it with fifteen workers; by 1957 his factory was already enjoying considerable international prestige. In 1980, one hundred and twenty workers were working there, and at this time he began to produce unique pieces that were exhibited in different countries, although the economic crisis led to the closure of the factory in 1982. In 1982 Capron created a new workshop under his own name. Throughout his career, this artist was awarded a gold medal at the Milan Triennale (1954), a silver medal at Cannes (1955), a gold medal again at the Brussels Architectural Ceramics Exhibition on two occasions (1957 and 1958), the French Ministry of Culture prize (1970) and the Prix Spécial de l'Architecture (1980).

OPERA - PUCCINI Giacomo (1858 - 1924) - Unpublished autograph letter signed Unpublished autograph letter signed, dated “28 - VI . 10” by the celebrated Italian composer. Puccini addresses the Contessina “Lula” Giulia Digerini Nuti: “…Chantecler mi ha comunicato in parole la risposta della tua lettera – È facile ch’io venga con Tonio [his son Antonio Puccini] in auto a piena domenica. Il palio sarà certo nel pomeriggio – (…) la prego cartolinarmi caso mai lo spettacolo che io non conosco, fosse nella mattinata…”. Giulia Digerini Nuti (1876-1953), familiarly called 'Lula' by Puccini, was the daughter of Count Andrea Digerini Nuti and Marianna Ginori Lisci, sister of Carlo Benedetto. She lived for a long time on the shore of Lake Massaciuccoli, on the Ginori estate 'La Piaggetta', together with her cousin Maria Bianca Ginori Lisco, also a close friend of the Maestro. There is no information as to whether the Maestro actually travelled to Siena to attend the Palio. For the record, the Palio of 3 July 1910 was won by the contrada del Valdimontone. 1 p. with letterhead “Torre del Lago/Toscana”. - This item is under temporary import.
