This September, the prestigious Fondazione Giorgio Cini in #Venice will host #HomoFaber, an extraordinary tribute to contemporary #craftsmanship that seeks to champion and support #creative artisans across the #globe.   In a world increasingly dominated by mass production, we must not forget the values that define us: #beauty, #excellence, #quality, #creativity, #authenticity, #history, and #memory. These are the very elements that have sustained humanity, preventing us from descending into the darkness of a cultureless existence, devoid of identity.   Today, more than ever, the métiers d’art—high craftsmanship professions—need to be protected, valued and promotioned on an #international scale. This is not just about ensuring continuity and seizing #business opportunities; it’s about safeguarding the #circulation of #culture and combating the erosion of meaningful values.   Craftsmanship is more than just a skill; it’s a #cultural legacy that we must cherish and elevate. By supporting #artisans, we preserve the richness of our collective history and ensure that future generations inherit a world rich in cultural depth and artistic expression.   We are dedicated to #protecting and #promoting #internationally the #artistry of #craftsmanship. We understand that behind every handmade object lies a story, a tradition, and a profound connection to our cultural roots.   Join us in celebrating the artisans who keep our world vibrant, authentic, and richly diverse. Let’s work together to ensure that these invaluable crafts continue to thrive, both as an international business and as a cornerstone of our cultural identity.   #HomoFaber #Craftsmanship #CulturalIdentity #ArtisanHeritage #Handmade #Venice2024 #CulturalPreservation #ArtAndBusiness #highcraftsmanshipmeetsart #madeinitaly #internationalization #artlaw #internazionalizzazione #sustainability

Patek Philippe Calatrava: Understated Elegance and Timeless Simplicity. The Patek Philippe Calatrava collection is a hallmark of understated elegance, capturing the essence of simplicity and refinement.

📣 A poignant throwback on this significant day. As we honor the Liberation Day in Italy 🇮🇹 , it’s a moment to reflect on the journey from post-war resilience to economic prosperity. The ironing boards in this photo are more than a symbol of industrial progress; they are a testament to the spirit of innovation that arose from the ashes of a nation reborn on April 25th. Today, as we strive for excellence and design in our work, we remember the freedoms that allow us to create, to design, and to innovate. #LiberationDay #ItalianEconomicBoom #Freedom #Innovation Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy

In 2023, the art of glassmaking was included in the Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Now, the Federation of Crystal and Glass (Fédération du Cristal et du Verre) has decided to pay tribute to this extraordinary material in a dedicated exhibition: "Les gestes verriers”. This show will take place from 21st September 2024 to 19th January 2025 along the railings of the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, offering visitors the chance to discover the beauty of glass, the craftsmanship involved in its creation, and a great deal more. There will be 80 photographs on display, coming from 33 workshops throughout France, including those of Zignago Vetro. For us, it is a source of immense pride to be able to show - through these images – the importance and magical mystique of the material we work with every day. #ZignagoVetro #glassproduction #glassindustry #innovation #circulareconomy #jardinduluxembourg
