Arrigo Finzi (1911–1983) was a leading figure in 20th-century Italian silverware, recognized for redefining the design of silver table service objects with a modern and essential aesthetic.

His production includes tea and coffee services, cutlery, trays, candelabras, centerpieces, and sterling silver table accessories, all conceived to combine elegance with practicality. In the post-war years, his service pieces stood out for their rational and modern design language, aligned with contemporary Italian design trends, where purity of form replaced excessive ornamentation. Silver became a contemporary material in his hands, shaped with artisanal precision and designed to enhance conviviality and the art of dining.
