Napoli 1845-Faenza 1913

Technical-scientific manager of the Museum, great expert of ceramics, with specialties both in the humanistic and scientific fields.
Many of the prizes awarded to the school are the result of his constant approach to innovations and experimentations with colour, vernish, ceramics and metals.
Tesorone focused his efforts on the creation of a collaborative link between the various workshops which then led to the creation of Applied Art manufactured articles. Contrasting himself with Palizzi's conception of a late XIX century realism establishment, he related his efforts to the British model of the Arts and Crafts movement and helped to create a more modern and competitive industrial production.
