Throughout
the history of Castellamonte a "red thread" has linked
generations of potters: this red thread is the clay they have
worked with, the natural raw material quarried locally and used
to create practical and ornamental items.
Roberto Perino
and Silvana Neri, the owners of "La Castellamonte",
have many years experience in the high quality, creative craftwork
field and, in 2001, attained the Piedmontese craftsmen's mark
of excellency "Piemonte Eccellenza Artigiana". Roberto
and Silvana, whilst keeping to many of the traditional working
methods, produce high quality innovative handmade products, and
recreate and adapt them to the needs of modern life.
The tiled stove
wood-burning , produced under the trademark "La Castellamonte",
are a combination of experience born of tradition and innovative
technology that fully conforms with today's environmental and
safety regulations

"La Castellamonte"
also produces decorative pottery and ornaments, reviving simple,
traditional shapes and adapting them to modern and practical uses.
In addition
to these traditional objects, the highly skilled craftsmen at "La
Castellamonte" also create highly decorative tableware of innovative
design, in natural, non-polluting materials.
Another characteristic
of the firm is their architectural components in frost-resistant
terracotta for indoor and outdoor use, the result of specific technological
and artistic research.
Panels, tiles,
vases, colonnades, balustrades, chimney pots, tiles and ornamental
friezes are available for use in the restoration of old churches
and buildings and as the perfect complement to the modern building.
