The exhibition-event that has changed the way of talking about and promoting artistic crafts celebrates its 30th anniversary with a special edition.
More than 100 examples of fine Italian and European craftsmanship to discover this year at Artigianato e Palazzo, from 13 to 15 September in the beautiful setting of Palazzo Corsini Garden in Florence, a magnificent example of Italian garden, with historic spaces such as the monumental Buontalenti Loggia, designed by the celebrated architect and sculptor in 1591, elegant lemon houses, geometric flowerbeds and long, tree-lined avenues.
An engaging, immersive experience in the world of arts and crafts, made up of live demonstrations, displays, awards, guided tours (from 1.00 to 5.00 pm), workshops (free participation, booking required), meetings, debates and a mouth-watering refreshment area with a new selection of food trucks.
Three days to experience the best of fine craftsmanship. From the most classic processes to original creations such as bonsai and plants in brass, stainless steel, gold and silver by the metal artists of Barone Italia, hats designed by Francesco Ballestrazzi, garments by the third-generation master embroiderer Sanjar Nazarov from Uzbekistan, paper flowers made with Japanese technique by Juliana Stolberg Donà dalle Rose, artisanal perfumes, upholstery, ceramics, mosaics, jewellery, tableware and much more.
The central theme is restoration, a sector that combines artisanal know-how and technological innovation.
An unmissable journey into the beauty of handcrafts, a celebration of ancient traditions and creativity.
