If you are near Milan, maybe to visit the Expo, do not miss the exhibition called Gioiello – arte e nutrimento dell’anima (Jewel – art and food of the soul). It is organized from the Goldsmiths’ Club Italy (Thursday, June 25 – Monday, July 27) at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan. The jewels are placed in their natural environment, the artistic one: on display are those of the Renaissance workshops, up to contemporary pieces. Some names admitted between the boards and the famous portrait of the lady by Pollaiolo: Broggian, Caesars and Rinaldi, Chantecler, Fope, Forevemark, Enzo Liverino, Vendorafa Lombardi and Vhernier. Signatures of jewelery that expose all together and in a museum, valuable pieces of their collections, a sign of the link between passion and craftsmanship, trade capacity and aesthetic sense. On the other hand, in the Italian jewelery it has developed in parallel with the evolution of classical art, one of the paintings and sculptures. Side note: the relationship of affinity and common research that links the Goldsmiths’ Club Italy and the Museo Poldi Pezzoli, was evidenced by the support of the Club for the restoration of two precious enamels limosini, now restored to its splendor: a Peace with ‘Adoption of a child and Peace with the Pietà, both of 1500.
