Born in the 1960s in Rimini on the
Italian Coast, Francesco Pellisari is the twin son
of a member of the Italian avant-garde literary
movement known as Gruppo 63. Growing up in
this creative environment, free from convention,
surrounded by great art, Francesco and his
brother Emiliano were raised with sculptors,
poets and philosophers as primary infuencers.
In early adulthood, Emiliano turned his attention
toward theater arts, while Francesco focused on
robotics and began developing his technical and
scientifc acumen.
Francesco later began to deeply explore the
acoustic concepts of Roy Allison, and sought
the guidance of the renowned speaker engineer
to master loudspeaker design and application.
Under Allison’s mentorship, Francesco began
applying his own acoustic innovations to unique
loudspeaker designs. The combination of his
artistic sensibility and acoustic expertise took
the form of handcrafted, beautifully-shaped,
ceramic loudspeakers sold today by his company
NACSound, located in Rome.
Now, in collaboration with artist, industrial
designer and architect, Ron Arad, Francesco
Pellisari presents to you the Zemi Aria: an
exciting combination of Italian shape and sound
designed to bring your listening experience
to life.
We hope you thoroughly enjoy this masterpiece
of design and technology.
