We are proud to announce that La Castellamonte has won first prize at the fourth edition of the “La bellezza artigiana si mette in mostra” competition. This initiative, promoted by CNA in collaboration with Confartigianato and Casartigiani, aims to showcase talent and celebrate artisanal creativity.
La Castellamonte was selected as one of the top ten finalists, giving us the opportunity to exhibit one of our works—the designer stove titled “Upside Down” (decorated by Faenza-based artist Mirco Denicolò)—at Restructura, Northwest Italy’s largest trade fair dedicated to building redevelopment, restoration, and renovation.
The exhibition took place from November 13th to 15th, 2025, at the Oval Lingotto Fiere in Turin.
“Upside Down” is a story engraved on a ceramic stove.
Someone left the door open, a gust of wind came in and the world turned upside down: the objects that had been placed safely on the shelf were overturned, a door opening onto a night landscape became a window, a millstone and an egg appeared from who knows where, but above all, white cloths, strips of paper, scrolls we didn’t even know we had at home began to float through the air.
Upside Down is a celebration of objects suspended in midair, while in the heart of the stove the fire burns and warmth spreads.
