Celebrating Creativity and making meaningful connections to the local community are core values at La Dolce Vita. It is my honour to introduce you to the special guest who will be assisting to meet those goals at La Dolce Vita 2022.
Joining our Fall retreat will be artist Maria Giannini.
Maria represents the sixth generation of the Giannini family. With passion, knowledge of colour and the ancient art of marbling, together with Guido Junior (fifth generation) she carries on the ancient tradition of the Bottega d’Arte.
Heir to the culture of making and the artisan tradition that has characterized the family for about two centuries, Maria Giannini looks to the contemporary and the future of the company, carrying on a constant dialogue between tradition and innovation.
She enhances the historical heritage of the company by rediscovering and designing a large digital archive. A contemporary instrument of inspiration, the historical archive is made up of precious testimonies, documents, decorated papers, bindings, ancient punches and events that the company has created over time, feeding the culture of Florentine artistic craftsmanship and the Tuscan territory.
In the dialectic between handmade values, choice of valuable materials and digital technologies, new strategic visions and contemporary quality collections that have always distinguished the artisan identity of the Giannini workshop in Italy and around the world take shape.
Numerous collaborations, that the sixth generation takes care of and realizes for the development of projects, collections, workshops, seminars and events with prestigious companies, high quality wineries, and international media.
