Italo Ottinetti and the passion for aluminum

In 1920, Italo Ottinetti, born in 1898 and a veteran of the First World War, founded with several associates in Baveno — a charming village on the shores of Lake Maggiore, now in the province of Verbania — the metalworking company that still bears his name.

In the small factory, aluminum was processed through a complete production cycle: the ingot was melted to obtain a sheet, which was then rolled to form a disc. The disc was subsequently stamped or spun to create the finished product.

It was essentially artisanal production of high-quality items, which Italo Ottinetti personally sold throughout Italy, as far south as Sicily. At that time, the range included cutlery, cookware and accessories for families, as shown by the 1925 catalogue, the year Italo Ottinetti became the company’s sole owner.

The business flourished, and the factory expanded to employ more than 50 people before the Second World War. Its workforce subsequently declined as much of the production process was mechanized during the years of the economic boom.
