Gigi COSI

Dear Cate and Elena, we were shocked and saddened to hear of the very sad loss of a most exceptional man. Gigi's enthusiasm was infectious and certainly came through in his exquisite creations. His light, warmth and spirit will remain in our hearts forever. Thinking of you both at this time

Gigi, you bought light, colour ,depth of thinking and a sweetness with your beautiful art. Welcoming artists to your studio like family.Sorrow for your loss Cate and Elena.you will live in our hearts always amico!

Cate & Elena I am so very sorry for the loss of Gigi. Every time I saw him he was so full of life and joy. And of course I remember the wonderful coffee he made. I still have my dinner set from 1991 - it has travelled from Freo to Oakford and now to Collie and I still love it!!! I will always look at it on my dresser and when I use it and think of you both.

Al mio carissimo Gigi con affetto fraterno. Quante bellissime giornate passate insieme alla scoperta e riscoperta dei nostri valori meridionali ed artigiani. Ho delle bellissime tue ceramiche in casa in Abruzzo. Diventeranno antiche e leggendarie come te e la tua storia. Riposa in pace. Ernesto

A complete pleasure to get to know your family - by painting your marvellous pottery over the last year - for all the wonderful bowls and tiles you helped me with.. And then Gigi would arrive - and the studio would light up with laughter and love.
I remember him with gratitude.
And think of Cate and Elena with huge love and sympathy.
