Vicenza's historic artisan workshops showcased in 18th-century villa hotel exhibition
The exhibition 'L'Arte del Saper Fare' will be open until December 5, 2025, at Villa Michelangelo Vicenza, part of the Starhotels Collezione. This event is a component of the La Grande Bellezza initiative, which began in 2019, aimed at promoting Italian craftsmanship with the backing of Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte and Associazione OMA. Featured are two workshops from Vicenza: Daniela Vettori, a jewelry studio influenced by art and nature, and Stamperia d'Arte Busato, a print shop established in 1946, currently managed by Giancarlo Busato. Vettori presents distinctive pieces alongside wood artist Nicola Tessari, while Stamperia Busato exhibits 12 lithographs by Tono Zancanaro. Tomas De Martin Deppo, the hotel GM, highlights the bond between Vicenza and Italian beauty.
