Alvino Bagni (1919-2009) was an important Italian ceramist and was mentored by Aldo Londi, in the early part of his career, before opening Bagni Ceramiche in 1956 in Lastra a Signa - Florence, Italy. Bagni Ceramiche supplied both the European and North American markets (via Raymor) until his retirement in 1992.
