Biographies
John Dilworth
DEGANI, Giulio Ettore Born 1875 Montagnana, Italy, died 1959 Cincinnati USA. Son and pupil of Eugenio Degani, above. Worked alongside Giovanni Schwarz and Ettore Siega in the family atelier, known as ‘Degani e figlio’ from 1898, with Giulio taking overall charge. Took over the business entirely after the death of his father in 1901. Emigrated to the USA c.1915, working initially for Wurlitzer in New York. Moved to the firm’s Cincinnati workshop in 1918, but left to start his own business in the same city in 1924. From this point on, he suffered many reverses. For two years he worked in New York with Jago Peternella in difficult conditions. Moved in 1934 to Atlantic City, but was unable to establish himself. A flood destroyed much of his tools and equipment. The following year he returned to Cincinnati, working in meagre circumstances until forced to close in 1952. For a few years more he sustained himself with unskilled labour. He never took any pupils himself and worked unaided all his life. Awarded gold medal in Turin 1911 and diploma in Milan 1909. An important maker of the modern Italian school. Generally less mannered work than his father, following a more classical form with fine clear golden- or red-brown varnish in early years. After c.1940 he made increasing use of pre-formed parts imported from German factories and cheap commercial varnishes. His labels are not chronologically reliable. He used stocks of various pre-printed forms in almost random order, emphasising his Venetian origin when working in America. Used a manuscript label of his grandfather Domenico on occasion.
