The Galvani factory in Pordenone has been one of the pillars of the Italian ceramic industry, with a history spanning over a century. Founded in 1811 by Giuseppe Galvani, this factory was a point of reference for the production of high-quality earthenware, contributing significantly to the economic and cultural development of the city.

Galvani immediately stood out for the quality of its products, made with selected raw materials and worked by master craftsmen. His ceramics, characterized by an elegant and functional design, were highly appreciated both in Italy and abroad. The use of the graphic symbol of an anchor as a distinctive brand helps to strengthen the identity of the manufacturer and make it recognizable on the market.

Galvani was not just a production company, but represented a real engine of the industrial development of Pordenone. The factory provided work to hundreds of people and helped grow the city's economy. Unfortunately, a tragic fire in 1921 heavily damaged the factories, but Galvani managed to recover and continue its activity.

In the following years, Galvani adapted to market changes and introduced new product lines, always maintaining a high quality standard. However, economic difficulties and growing competition led to its closure in 1979. Despite the end of production, the Galvani brand continues to be synonymous with excellence and represents an important chapter in Italian industrial history.
