Beautifully illustrated throughout, this distinctive collection will give an insight into the work of a 20th century master goldsmith. Each photograph is of a unique piece, showing that the skills of a traditionally trained goldsmith can still create gold and silver pieces that can rival that of the past revered Russian master goldsmiths. This book will be of interest to anyone who can appreciate and is interested in the skills of a master goldsmith, and one who takes pleasure in including flora and fauna, made from precious metals, into many of his designs and finished pieces.

Book Description
"This introduction to the works of contemporary Italian artists -- goldsmiths, jewellers, silversmiths -- must assume an historical aspect. The contemporary works illustrated here, should be considered in the light of their contribution to the future. They are akin to Italian works of art of the past -- both distant and recent -- and naturally to foreign art, too, since from its earliest days our peninsula's effort toward cultural synthesis, as an answer to various foreign influences, is evident. Our historical sense is ready to justify every connection with the past, provided this complies entirely with an urge for expression leading to a harmonious and coherent language."--Page 13
