From the capital of the Baroque of Italy in Vicenza Oro: new jewelry of FuturoRemoto by Gianni De Benedictis.
If you want to find the Remote Future go in Puglia. The apparent contradiction, sophisticated, is been created by the laborious mind of Gianni De Benedictis, the way of the Italian South to jewelry design, which chose Lecce as a city in which to live and work. From this secluded corner of Italy, between the sea and the baroque churches, he managed to win an amazing visibility. Surprising for decentralized location where he is, not for the result of his work that in 2010 won an important stage, when her jewels were chosen by director Ferzan Ozpetek’s for his film Mine Vaganti and, later, to some representations of Aida. De Benedictis has another specificity: he loves the kinetic jewelry, that allow movement to some elements. Perhaps for this reason he chose as the name FuturoRemoto, an oxymoron that refers to something of the past but that is in the making. But not only: among the best known pieces of FuturoRemoto there are also proposals that have a significant irony, as the Food Collar, with a fork that rolls up spaghetti. Or the PortaRispetto Ring, The Godfather that’s in you. Gianni De Benedictis has instead shows Falene collection. Lavinia Andorno
