On July 22, the new Board of Directors of the Fondazione Museo Archivio Richard Ginori della Manifattura di Doccia, the entity that deals with the enhancement and management of the historical and artistic heritage of the former Sexten factory, officially took office. The new chairman is lawyer Marco Corsini, born in 1956, currently Deputy Attorney General at the State Attorney General’s Office. His appointment came directly from Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli.
Corsini has long experience in the legal field, particularly in public contracts and public works. His technical-legal profile is part of a framework that aims to consolidate the structure of the Foundation administratively, while maintaining management continuity and collaboration among its member institutions. Alongside the president sit four other members. Two were appointed by the Ministry of Culture: Elisabetta Berti, a professional journalist and art historian, and Andrea Cosentino, a curator and art critic. Both bring specific expertise related to the museum and cultural sphere. The other two members were reappointed for a second term: professor Gianni Pozzi, nominated by the City of Sesto Fiorentino, and Dr. Maurizio Toccafondi, indicated by the Region of Tuscany.
“I am happy,” says newly appointed President Marco Corsini, “to lead a cultural institution of such high historical, artistic and social value, which must be kept alive and vital. My priority will be to encourage the earliest possible end to the renovation of the Ginori Museum’s headquarters in order to arrive as quickly as possible at the goal everyone hopes for, which is the reopening of the museum to the public. I thank all the people who, in the period of uncertainty that ends today, have kept the foundation alive with diligence and dedication.”
Gianni Pozzi is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and Brera, as well as a visiting professor at the Beijing University of Technology, with an academic profile that has been consolidated over the years at the international level. Maurizio Toccafondi, president of the Richard Ginori Mutual Aid Society, was formerly an executive at the Regional Directorate for Cultural and Landscape Heritage of Tuscany.
The new board will serve a four-year term. The installation took place in a context described as marked by collaboration among the various institutional actors involved. Demonstrating this, the first meeting led to the approval of the Foundation’s budget, a document that certifies the financial stability of the institution and the correctness of previous management.
Among the first decisions made is the approval of an exhibition project in collaboration with the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza. This will be a temporary exhibition that will put the Ginori Museum’s historical collections in dialogue with those of Faenza, in a confrontation that is part of the effort to valorize artistic ceramics and the Italian manufacturing heritage. In parallel, the council also resolved to create an English version of the museum’s official website, museoginori.org. The initiative responds to the need to further open Museo Ginori to an international audience, contributing to greater accessibility and promotion of the collections housed at the Sesto Fiorentino site.
