About Paolo De Poli

Paolo De Poli was an Italian enameller and painter.If we can speak of an Italian art of enamel, it is thanks to De Poli, to the road he opened up and followed faithfully, to the example of his orthodox technique, to his sureness of touch, to the esteem and admiration he has won. And we should to be grateful to him for this also. Gio Ponti
