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 partners, 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 household accessories, as shown by the 1925 catalogue, the year in which Italo Ottinetti became the sole owner of the company.

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