CEO – Geminiano Cozzi Venezia 1765

Antonio Tognana (born Treviso, 1955) is a fifth-generation member of the Tognana family, a leading name in the Italian ceramic and porcelain industry. After graduating in Economics and Business from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and gaining international study and work experience, he joined the family business, contributing to the development of one of Italy's most significant groups in the sector. Alongside his business career, he harboured a great passion for motorsport, making a name for himself in rallies with prestigious marques such as Fiat Abarth, Lancia, Porsche, and Ferrari. In 1982, he achieved a unique feat in the history of the Prancing Horse, winning the International National Rally Championship with Ferrari. Upon concluding his racing career, he dedicated himself entirely to business and, in 2014, spearheaded the revival of the historic Manifattura Geminiano Cozzi Venezia 1765, breathing new life into one of Italy's most prestigious porcelain brands and championing its tradition through collections for the most exclusive hospitality and design sectors.
