A journey that covers from the West to the East, a passage through history to the present. A renaissance, thanks to the talent that dreams.
This book aims to retrace a long journey through Europe, the ‘Grand Tour’, in which young aristocrats could learn about art and study social and political aspects that would mark their entire existence.
Italy was the heart of this journey, a place to admire and invest in artworks, jewels, objects to bring back home to remember and treasure the moments of culture and innovation.
During these travels, the nobles of the time bought finely elaborated micromosaic jewels from the workshops of niche artists.
