Arrigo Finzi's silverware bearing the “Sant'Elia” mark, deposited on October 16, 1933, although starting out with a production inspired by the designs of the futurist Antonio Sant'Elia, with whom the Milanese silversmith had become acquainted in 1909 and with whom he had forged a relationship of friendship and artistic collaboration, dramatically interrupted by the young architect's untimely death on the front of World War I, more than to the Futurist language, however, they distinguished themselves, through the essentiality and delicacy of their forms, by their evident adherence to the expressive instances of the Deco taste, with tangencies both with contemporary Lombard production and with emerging Central European trends. Silver centerpiece in the shape of a wine cup. The spiral-worked handles end with a bunch of grapes.
