Description
The INGA company is an abbreviation of “Industria Nazionale Gessi e Affini” and was founded in the early 1950s by the Sgambaro family.
It was one of four Italian companies producing chalk for school blackboards, an essential aid in education and entertainment for thousands of children and teenagers at the time. In addition to chalk for blackboards, INGA produced “affini,” which are other chalk products such as stuccoes, packaged and sold in powder or paste form. In the 1960s and 1970s, INGA also added interior decorative elements to its chalk production. This way, INGA became one of the main manufacturers of elegant decorative stuccoes, such as rosettes, frames, and wall and ceiling cornices. These were very fashionable at the time, ordered and installed in all homes as decorative elements.
Over the years, INGA gradually moved away from mass production to focus solely on creating artistic objects that reflect a passion for beauty, culture, and elegance. INGA transformed into a true art laboratory, where unique, refined, and personalized plasterworks are created for clients worldwide.

According to contemporary writings, Constance was for some time a woman loved by Bernini, and this statue represents a symbol of her love. It is the only sculpture by the sculptor that depicts an ordinary man, unlike his other sculptures depicting the most important personalities of the time, such as popes, noblemen and rulers. |
