Description
Manufactory INGA is an abbreviation of “Industria Nazionale Gessi e Affini” and was established 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. Besides blackboard chalk, 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 producers of stylish 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.

| Additional information | Roman art. The original work is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. It was found in the Baths of Trajan and became the property of Ferdinando de' Medici, after whom the statue is named. Napoleon, guided by his policy of plunder, brought it to France for a short time along with many other works. Canova, to compensate for the Italian loss of this masterpiece, sculpted the Venus Italica. |
