Incredible product design combined with meticulous firing of clay from the Impruneta quarries gives us the synonym of the company Goti Terrecotte d’Arte.

Goti Terrecotte boasts over fifty years of experience born from the owner's strong passion, Giancarlo. Mr. Giancarlo began his journey as an apprentice ceramic decorator, later opening a small artisan workshop in Sesto Fiorentino after marrying Ms. Fiorella Goti. The expansion occurred within a few years, and by 1973, he achieved progress and established his brand in Calenzano, a few kilometers from Florence, Tuscany. The knowledge gained over the years by Giancarlo in experimenting with materials and production techniques includes:

- Artistic casting of ceramics, replacing traditional molding processes

- Using clay from the Impruneta quarries to produce frost-resistant cookware made from a unique family recipe, mixed and kneaded with water to create professional or outdoor food ovens with high certified resistance and quality of fireproof terracotta, fired at 1040°C.

The well-equipped laboratory allows for the handcrafted and personalized creation of jars, tiles, statues, planters, vases, sinks, chimneys, bricks on order, bas-reliefs, and various decorative items. The production department dedicated to wood-fired ovens has established Goti Terrecotte as an internationally recognized benchmark in the market for professional, domestic, and garden wood-fired terracotta ovens.

The product range, from classic to modern furniture, includes over 1000 items in the catalog. Additionally, the company is prepared to produce custom items based on drawings or orders. 90% of production goes to the “garden of clients,” says Giancarlo, owner of Goti Terrecotte d’Arte.

Artifacts are left to cook for 5 days in a dedicated oven at 1040°C. Only careful drying before firing prevents cracking during firing and ensures high mechanical resistance. High quality is guaranteed, certified, and tested in a refractory mass laboratory. Raw materials used for processing are sourced directly from the Impruneta quarries. The clay found in Impruneta gives the finished product a unique color and extraordinary frost resistance.

For this reason, Goti Terrecotte seeks out and acquires prestigious Impruneta clay: an unparalleled raw material with remarkable properties, primarily “frost resistance,” meaning water-repellent, capable of withstanding even the lowest temperatures almost indefinitely. Of course, the production process is also refined and more complex, with longer times: Impruneta clay is processed through molding, has very slow drying times, and is fired at extremely high temperatures.
