Guido Gambone (1909 – 1969) was one of the most important and influential Italian ceramic artist of the mid 20th century. He was born in Montella, Avellino in Italy 1909 and moved with his parents to Vietri in 1927. He started his career at the local Avallone pottery, continued his training at Manifattura Artistica Ceramica Salernitana before moving to the famous I.C.S. (Industria Ceramica Salernitana). He became artistic director at I.C.S. in 1935. He founded two studios, La Faenzerella in Vietri and later La Tirrena in Florence. Gambone died at the age of sixty, in 1969. His work fused painting, primitivism, tradition, and modern artistic movements and as such became enormously influential.
