Campania Felix: Mythical land, with its fantastic sirens Partenope, Leucosìa and Ligea, who were said laying near the Galli islands to enchant Ulysses and his sailors. The unique beauty of the territory, the great history of the archaeological sites of Paestum and Pompeii are some of the gems that characterize the history of an area framed by beatiful gulfs and green hills, rich in fertile land. Here is the cradle of Vietri sul Mare: the homeland of ceramics. Already in the Middle Ages, using the local clay, the local artisans were well known for a valuable production of bricks, vases and terracotta that in the years to come was then glazed to makes tiles (riggiole).
The intrinsic Meditteranean character in De Maio's DNA leads them to give an original imprint to the works they carry out with the designers. Their creative genius, combined with the use of glazes, shapes and colors that evoke the territory, are an element of great characterization and uniqueness of the artifacts that many architects in the world now appreciate. The creative flair and the culture rooted in Vietri sul Mare area led architects and designers to entrust De Maio a great variety of jobs to be realized with the experience and imagination only they could achieve in two centuries of history.

The history of the Giovanni De Maio company
The De Maio family can be defined as made of native Mediterranean people, men of passion, born at the right time in the right place. About two hundred years ago their adventure began in Ogliara, on the hills of Salerno city, where they started to process the clays of Monte Stella. It was then a natural process for them passing from Terracotta to Riggiole (ceramic tiles). In two hundred years and five generations, the De Maio family produced majolica that embellished villas, churches and noble residences, often the protagonists of important architectural projects.The intrinsic Meditteranean character in De Maio's DNA leads them to give an original imprint to the works they carry out with the designers.
