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 produce a sheet, which was then rolled to form a disc. The disc was then stamped or turned to create the finished product.

This was primarily artisanal production of high-quality articles, 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 catalog, the year in which Italo Ottinetti became the company's sole owner.

The business thrived, and the factory expanded until it employed 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.
