the Art of<br />
inlaid work in Scagliola<br />
The <strong>Cupioli</strong> family belongs to a very small<br />
category of “scagliolisti”artisans who<br />
represent an ancient tradition, with a<br />
fascinating history involving what is known as<br />
“the art of inlaid work in scagliola”.<br />
Back in the 1950s, when people in Italy were<br />
still thinking about the reconstruction and<br />
restoration of the artistic heritage that had<br />
been damaged in the Second World War,<br />
the young Lodovico <strong>Cupioli</strong> started out on<br />
his career as a restorer of antique tables and<br />
altar frontals; he then went on to produce the<br />
first orders for inlaid work in “scagliola”,<br />
making innovative use of different supports<br />
such as marble and slate which were inlaid<br />
and decorated with coloured “scagliolas”.<br />
When his brother Renzo joined the company,<br />
they began to develop an intense activity<br />
producing decorations – some of them of<br />
great artistic worth – commissioned<br />
by customers from all over the world.
