Gianmaria Buccellati Foundation

The extraordinary jewelry creations made by the famous international fashion house and its masters.
This book illustrates a century of the history of goldsmith art through the treasures of the Buccellati Foundation designed by Mario and Gianmaria Buccellati, heirs of the illustrious Italian tradition which flourished during the Renaissance. It was following the Renaissance canons that Mario Buccellati, defined by Gabriele d'Annunzio as the -prince of goldsmiths, - created his works, reinterpreting them in a very personal, unique, and easily recognizable way. He originated and promoted the -style Buccellati, - a myth appreciated by members of the ruling houses, by popes, and by intellectuals.
