Venice is home to the only artisans in Europe who still beat gold by hand to create a thin, brilliant foil using strictly manual skills developed over the centuries. The School for Gold-beating in Venice is one of the oldest in the world; thanks to Byzantium influence, Venice has a long history of using gold foil to decorate the most sophisticated mosaics, furniture and glass.
Producing fine fabrics in Venice since 1499, some of the most exquisite fabrics in the world are produced by hand with original 18th century looms and highly precious materials. Tens of thousands silk and gold threads are weaved together as if by magic to create timeless decorative motifs.
It takes the skill and expertise of men like Massimiliano to cover both modern and ancient materials with gold leaf. He uses wood, glass, metal and gold to create unique, timeless pieces. It is an ancient art, practised today just as it was at the beginnings of the Venetian Republic, more than one thousand years ago.
