francescabarbarani


Always an art lover and passionate about applied arts, in 2000 she decided to study at the Florentine school “le Arti Orafe“, where she learned the techniques of metalworking and embedding.

In 2003, thanks to the meeting with the master first and friend then Giovanni Corvaja, during a course on granulation, she learns the privilege of working with precious materials.

Her way of thinking jewellery, her way of approaching the precious metal undergoes a radical change: the jewel is transformed into a unique and unrepeatable object of art.

Francesca Barbarani works alone, passionately designing her creations in a small goldsmith’s workshop in Viareggio, Via Fratti 151, where her careful curiosity leads her to experiment with new techniques and jump into new interesting collaborations.
