The visits are scheduled for Sunday 5 and 19 May, at 10am, starting from the Diocesan Museum, where it will be possible to admire the treasures that inspired the two creations: the Reliquary of the Holy Thorn (13th-19th century), the Chalice of the church of Santa Corona (17th century), and the Processional Cross of the Cathedral (15th century) curated by the educational services of the Diocesan Museum of Vicenza. The group will then move to the nearby Jewelery Museum to admire the crown and pectoral, with expert commentary from Stefano Soprana, who oversaw its restoration, owner of the historic Soprana jewelery shop, located under the Palladian Basilica, where the master’s workshop once stood Angelo Marangoni, who originally created the two works.

These are those exhibited in Vicenza at the Museo del Gioiello, which in 2022 more than doubled the number of tickets sold compared to the pre-pandemic period: +134% compared to the admissions recorded in 2019. The museum project is managed by the Italian Exhibition Group (the company that organizes Vicenzaoro) in partnership with the Municipality of Vicenza.
The museum is also the first in Italy and one of the few in the world dedicated exclusively to jewellery, where pieces of great Maisons are exhibited, but also those linked to temporary exhibitions, such as the recent Jewels and amulets. Beauty in Ancient Egypt (continues until 7 May), which also includes a series of educational events particularly dedicated to the world of children (info by clicking here, mail to info @museodelgioiello.it). Children aged 5 to 12 can enter the Museum for free, while the fee for participating in the workshops will be 4.50 euros. The entry fee for adults is 10.00 euros (5.00 euros if resident in Vicenza and its province), 4.50 euros for the laboratory.
The jewels of ancient Egypt in Vicenza
Ancient Egyptian women also wore bracelets, necklaces and rings, which were often associated with amulets. Now some of the jewels of that culture that continues to fascinate after thousands of years are collected in an exhibition (from 23 December 2022 to 7 May 2023) at the Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza. In the halls of the museum, the exhibition displays scarabs, lotus flowers or the typical eye of Horus in the form of an amulet, terracotta necklaces and bracelets, strings of pearls and ivory rings, seals with the name of the pharaoh. They are jewels that were commonly used, as evidenced by paintings, reliefs and the analysis of the equipment of some mummies. In short, the ancient Egyptians were just as vain as humans are today.
And the exhibition entitled Jewels and Amulets. Beauty in Ancient Egypt, curated by the director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, Christian Greco, with the collaboration of the museum curators Paolo Marini and Cédric Gobeil, is an interesting opportunity to discover the taste of that era for jewelry. The museum space, managed by the Italian Exhibition Group (the company that organizes Vicenzaoro) together with the Municipality of Vicenza is located inside the Basilica Palladiana, in the city center, and usually houses a permanent exhibition with jewels that have made history, as well as to temporary events.

Handcrafted and high jewelry, made in Italy: it is that of Margherita Burgener, admired and appreciated all over the world, also thanks to the precious use of titanium ♦ ︎
The passion of Margherita Burgener for jewelry begins in the atelier of her future husband, in Valenza: in the homeland of high Italian jewelry, Burgener discovers precious stones and jewelery making. Then she begins to approach to jewelry design and since her first creation in 2003 has never stopped. Today her unique pieces are beaten in Important Jewels auctions at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams, while from 2011 she draws small limited edition collections. Yellow gold, white, red or pink shades, are the chromatic base to exalt shapes and stones, but she also likes to experience new materials such as titanium. In fact, features such as light weight and ability to create a wide range of color shades make it one of his favorite metal.
And of titanium are the iridescent shades petals with topaz and diamond brooch that appeared on the cover of the exhibition catalog Skin: the surface of the jewel. The show of the Jewel Museum in Vicenza, inaugurated two years ago on the occasion of VicenzaOro fair. A skin to look and if you can to touch. Matilde de Bounvilles

The artist-designer Ruudt Peters at the Museo del Gioiello di Vicenza in the exhibition Bron ♦
Ruudt Peters, Dutch, is a jewelry designer, sculptor, visual artist. He attended the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and in 1973 he founded the Galerie Ekster in Leeuwarden. He has also taught at numerous European academies and, in Italy, he has been a lecturer at Alchimia – Florence Contemporary Jewelery School.

A multimedia installation offers the possibility to discover in depth his work through short films activated by QR code.
“All my jewels are interconnected and flow from a flow of events and various sources of inspiration. Cause and effect. Action-reaction. Fall and get up. Uncertainty. Discovery. Curiosity. This set constitutes the Bron exhibition, which not only offers an overview of my work but also explores my sources of inspiration, “explains Peters.
“Ruudt Peters is one of the masters of contemporary jewelery,” comments the Director of the Museo del Gioiello Alba Cappellieri. “Through his work the Museum confirms his pluralistic approach by including multiple visions on the jewel”.

Third life for the Jewelery Museum
The Vicenza Jewelery Museum is renewed with the third exhibition curated by Alba Cappellieri. Here’s how it will be ♦ ︎
It was nice, it will be even more. After four years the Vicenza Jewel Museum housed inside the Basilica Palladiana is renewed. But it is not a surprise: the permanent exhibition, in fact, was born with the idea of a continuous renewal of exposed jewels.
The museum, an initiative of the Italian Exhibition Group Spa in partnership with the City of Vicenza, offers the public an exhibition of 310 unique pieces, many of which belong to private collections, which are generally not accessible to the public or operators in the sector.
The jewels are given to the museum for two years. Now it’s the turn of the third edition, which opens on December 14th and will be open until the end of 2020.
The Jewelery Museum is directed by Alba Cappellieri, Professor of Jewelery Design at the Milan Polytechnic, as well as the leading jeweler in Italy. Lots of news that jewel lovers can admire. Like the Bulgari Flora High Jewelery necklace. “I chose this extraordinary object because it is a tribute to Italian manufacture and beauty. Bulgari is inspired by the paintings by Sandro Botticelli, whose eternal grace reverberates in this precious and delicate floral bouquet and the splendid manufacture exalts the Italian artisan ability “, explains Cappellieri.
The exhibition path winds through nine rooms, each of which has a different meaning of the jewel, in a pluralism of contents, eras, geographies and origins.
They are the jewel as Symbol, Magic, Function, Beauty, Art, Fashion, Design, Icons and Future, each, in the new edition, entrusted to an internationally renowned curator who has interpreted the meaning through precious and extraordinary beauty and priceless value.
Pascale Lepeu, director of the Cartier collection for over 30 years, has chosen the Symbol Room, which houses extraordinary jewels capable of telling the symbolic power of the ornaments. Symbol of power, wealth, religion, royalty, craftsmanship.
Cristina Boschetti, archaeologist, expert in artistic productions of the Hellenistic and Roman Mediterranean, has instead entrusted the Magic Room: amulets and protective talismans, propitiatory jewelry to ward off evil influences. For the Function Room Massimo Vidale, professor of Archeology at the University of Padua, was chosen to focus on the communication function of the jewel. From the jewels of the warriors of different cultures, to the rings and pendants used by the rappers.
The interpretation of the Beauty Room is curated by Patrizia di Carrobio, an expert in diamonds. For her, jewels transfer beauty to those who admire them. The theme is the game, in a fascinating mix of values, where high jewelry mixes with fashion jewelry. The Art Room was entrusted to Marie-José van den Hout, the Dutch gallery owner, founder of the Marzee gallery. The theme is gold and the story unfolds through the processes of experimentation of international artists, who have not been afraid to bring creativity and experimentation to the limit, obtaining surprising results.
In the Fashion Room, curated by Chichi Meroni, creative soul of the Arabesque Cult Store in Milan, there are bijoux created for fashion in the twenties and eighties, while the Sala Design has been curated by Alba Cappellieri with a selection dedicated to designers who have not explored other products that were not the jewel.
The Sala Icone is curated by Gabriele and Emanuele Pennisi, antique dealers in Milan specialized in antique jewelry: it hosts masterpieces from the past between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, icons of their times: from the nineteenth century frames to the admirable manufacture of enamel jewels, seals and portraits of famous people. The last room, dedicated to the theme of the Future, was curated by Olga Noronha, international fashion designer: from digital jewelry that modifies the body to invisible jewels that are grafted under the skin, from therapeutic jewels to home made jewels that can self-produce.
The symbols of power: tiaras and crowns in an exhibition at the Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza ♦ ︎
Not only do jewels serve to emphasize the wearer’s body, they not only show the taste of those who choose them and not only are an index of wealth. They are also, on some occasions, symbols of power. Like tiaras and crowns, medals and brooches, rings and tiaras. The new exhibition at the Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza, inside the Basilica Palladiana, is dedicated to them, to the jewels of power. The museum is the first in Italy and one of the few in the world dedicated exclusively to jewelery and is managed by Italian Exhibition Group (a company that also organizes VicenzaOro) in partnership with the City of Vicenza.
The new temporary exhibition is titled The Jewels of Power: Crown and Tiaras and is curated by Alessandra Possamai (22 September-17 March 2019).
Under the display cases there is a careful selection of crowns and tiaras from different times and contexts, from high fashion jewelery to fashion. “The exhibition represents an excursus between the crowns and tiaras of the past and the present, and focuses on what they are and what they have been. A real leap in the taste and style of different eras through works by great artists “, explains the curator, Alessandra Possamai. “A world of creative interest, a testing ground for goldsmiths and contemporary designers. The precious artifacts protagonists of the exhibition are a sign of the excellence of the goldsmith’s art, characterized by attention to detail and quality of work, which has made Made in Italy great in the world “.
“Fashion has always been absorbing and giving birth to strong iconic values and crowns are powerful inspirations for their immediate and universal symbolism. We are very proud of this new temporary exhibition: Alessandra Possamai has been able to weave different times and contexts, presenting crowns and tiaras from high jewelery to fashion, confirming and expanding the pluralistic and inclusive spirit of the Jewelery Museum “, adds Alba Cappellieri, director of Jewelery Museum.
Gio’ Pomodoro’s jewels in Vicenza
Gio’ Pomodoro’s jewels: wearable sculptures at the Vicenza Museum ♦ ︎
If you go on a trip to Vicenza, until September 2 you can combine jewelry and sculpture art. The Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza, inside the Basilica Palladiana, run by Italian Exhibition Group together with the City of Vicenza, dedicates a special exhibition to the sculptor Gio ‘Pomodoro (1930-2002). Because, obviously, the sculptures on display are goldsmith’s works. The exhibition is titled The Jewels of Gio ‘Pomodoro: the sign and the ornament, and is curated by Paola Stroppiana. The exhibition dedicated to the goldsmith, engraver, sculptor and set designer, takes place 16 years after his death. The exhibition is an opportunity for a reflection on the jewel of an artist, not just an ornament but also a creation that lives independently. “In all jewels there is a great capacity for design, the sign, intellectually expressed in drawings of rare beauty, and the ornament, the result of a rich archive of references to classical culture and to the ritual-metaphysical dimension”, explains Paola Stroppiana. “Pomodoro also knew how to maintain a close bond with the sculptural production, transposing in the jewels, and vice versa, the results of his own plastic researches, from Tensions and Folle to Hulls, from Contacts to the Suns”.
They are to be noted the line of jewels designed for the gem of the brother-in-law Giancarlo Montebello in the mid-seventies, one of the first serial production experiments of «cheap art jewels», and the realization of a notebook of 38 tables for prototypes of cuts in hard stone, many of which are on show, for Cesari & Rinaldi at the beginning of the Nineties.

Chains on exhibition
In Vicenza 80 jewels that have the chain’s protagonist ♦︎
There are chains that bind and there are chains that release. There are also chains that like. Those that are used in jewelery, for example, are the desired chains, especially if bracelets or necklaces become original, precious objects with a precise identity. Alba Cappellieri started from this consideration, perhaps, in treating the exhibition Intrecci Preziosi. The chain between function and decoration at the Jewel of Vicenza Museum (October 27, 2017-25 March 2018). Below the glass windows of the first permanent jewelery museum there are 80 chains that from the end of the eighteenth century have marked stages in the goldsmith’s manufacture.
“The chain, binds, supports, decorates, encapsulates universal symbols, alludes to the fascinating idea of circularity, a borderless or chronological or geographical ornament that crosses the history of costume as art, ornaments and of fashion, “comments Cappellieri, who is also a professor of Jewel Design at the Politecnico di Milano. “The chains traditionally have a dual interpretation: in the negative sense they are signs of human slavery, while in positively they represent the beauty and social prestige and as such have been represented by the greatest painters of art history to symbolize universal values such as honor, fidelity, love. ”
In the exhibition there is a selection of chains made in Veneto since the Renaissance, and pieces made both craftsmanly and industrially by important Italian goldsmiths such as Fope, Franco Pianegonda, Marco Bicego, Mattioli, Nanis, Pasquale Bruni, Pesavento, Pomellato, Roberto Coin, Unoaerre, Vendorafa Lombarda, Vhernier. And next to the Maison’s signature, there are the works of designers like Giampaolo Babetto, Francesca Braga Rosa, Emma Francesconi, Stefania Marchetti, Carla Riccoboni, Barbara Uderzo, Daniela Vettori, Alberta Vita.
The Jewelery Museum, the first in Italy and one of the few in the world exclusively dedicated to jewelery, is the result of Ieg’s commitment in partnership with the City of Vicenza in promoting the cultural universe of Italian jewelry and jewelry, which the Italian Exhibition Group is recognized as a world-class player thanks to the VicenzaOro International Event.

Spille da mostrare con orgoglio: le onorificenze sono in mostra al Museo del Gioiello ♦
Ci sono gioielli e gioielli. Di solito i gioielli li indossano le donne, perché amano un oggetto prezioso, oppure per attirare uno sguardo, un commento di ammirazione. Ma ci sono anche i gioielli che servono a comunicare altro. Per esempio, l’appartenenza a uno speciale club, oppure a specificare che la persona che indossa il gioiello è stata particolarmente abile, coraggiosa, intraprendente. Questi gioielli sono segni o, meglio sono la manifestazione di una onorificenza. Qualche volta queste spille da appuntare orgogliosamente al petto sono anche preziose e particolarmente elaborate. E ora si possono anche osservare da vicino nella mostra intitolata Dame e Cavalieri. I gioielli delle onorificenze, organizzata al Museo del Gioiello di Vicenza, diretto da Alba Cappellieri, docente di Design del Gioiello al Politecnico di Milano e principale studiosa del settore in Italia.

The Museo del Gioiello goes for two
The Museum of the Jewel of Vicenza is renewed for the biennium of life, new pieces, new curators, same nice offer.
The Museum of the Jewel of Vicenza from the beginning it is presented as a kind of chameleon: the exhibits are top quality but inevitably change over time. Every two years, the jewels return to their respective owners and are replaced by others. The second cycle is just beginning: the 2017-2018 edition was inaugurated in the presence of ten new international curators. And, in addition to new jewelery, there is also an institutional innovation: the Museum, wanted with strength and perseverance by Matteo Marzotto, until now president of the Vicenza Fair, it’s now headed by the new company born from the union between the Vicenza structure and Rimini, namely Italian Exhibition Group. That’s why the start for the new cycle was given by Lorenzo Cagnoni, President of Italian Exhibition Group. Marzotto remains, however, as vice president of the new company: “From the first day of public opening of the Jewel Museum has proved a winning idea. Authoritative center of gravity of the cultural universe story goldsmith and jewelery, innovation and a refined search” he explained. “Deeply rooted and logistically in Vicenza, one of the world capitals of the jewel, expresses with his unique personality high international vocation; particularly appreciated not only for the quality of guardianship, but also to the origin and excellence of the exhibits, the many Italian and foreign visitors welcomed, for the unusual museum suitable for all audiences. A global profile that will be further enhanced thanks to the new exhibition and cooperation of the new curators in the next biennium 2017-18.”
The news
The museum space is over 410 square meters and is edited and directed by Alba Cappellieri, a professor of Jewellery Design at the Politecnico di Milano. It now features a new selection with 400 jewels, excellence and prestige, selected according to the sensitivity of the new curators of internationally involved, as Glenn Adamson, director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, Nicolas Bos, President & Ceo of Van Cleef & Arpels, the art critic and collector Helen Drutt English, the anthropologist Cristina Del Mare, the art historian Alessandra Poss, Stefano Piaggi, Director of Archive Anna Piaggi, Marco Romanelli, architect and designer, the art historian and author Paola Venturelli, the award-winning designer Odo Fioravanti.
The museum
First in Italy and one of the few in the world dedicated exclusively to the jewel located inside the Palladian Basilica in Vicenza, historic building from the XVI century, Unesco World Heritage Site since 1994, the Jewel Museum in two years after its opening, December 24, 2014, recorded 34,000 visitors.
The skin of jewels, in Vicenza
Saturday, January 23, while the pavilions VicenzaOro were crossed by a crowd of buyers, in the center, in the noble Palladian Basilica of Vicenza, was inaugurated the exhibition «Skin: the surface of the jewel» set in the halls of the Museum of Jewelry. The inauguration was a success more than an excess: a crowd does not yet satisfy golds view the stands has poured into the beautiful but relatively small rooms of the museum. The exhibition, which will remain on display until May 1, 2016, has as philosophy the consideration that the first encounter with the objects, of whatever nature, is purely superficial, and only then can you appreciate or not elements such as wearability, materiality and weight. Curated by Alba Cappellieri and Livia Tenuta, the exhibition is accompanied by the permanent display (so you can see both). The jewels are all surface, but in particular, the exhibition deals with the pins, through the use of traditional and innovative techniques, the color, structure and volumes. Not surprisingly, the brooch is experiencing a revival in the world of jewelery trade. On display are jewelry products from more than 70 artists and designers and goldsmiths Italian international.
Here is the list of artists with works on display: Senay Akin, Barbara Antolini, Alessia Ansaldi, Francesca Antonello, Sanae Asayama, Rosalba Balsamo, Silvia Beccaria, Emanuela Bergonzoni, Maura Biamonti, Dana Bloom, Giulia Boccafogli, Patrizia Bonati, Massimiliano Bonoli for Mattia Cielo, Fabrizio Bonvicini, Luisa Bruni, Margherita Burgener, Fabio Cammarata, Mary Jennifer Carew, Alessandro Cremonesi, Isabella Del Bono, Elviro Di Meo and Antonio Rossetti, Sandra Paintings, Anna Fornari, Laura Strong, Emma Francesconi, Fronza Stefano, Francesca Gabrielli Lucilla Giovanninetti, Heidemarie Herb, Laura Lanaro, Marta Laudani and Marco Romanelli, Benjamin Lignel, Limodoro, Eliana Lorena, Stefania Lucchetta, Letizia May, Laura Magro, Alba Rosa Mancini, Manuganda, Stefano Marchetti, Alberto Mariani, Mattioli, Tomoko Mizu, GianCarlo Montebello, Nach Bijoux, Kazumi Nagano, Olga Noronha, Barbara Paganin, Jinbi Park, Ricardo Peiro, Marco Picciali, Alba Polenghi Lisca, Patrizia Pompey, Patricia Posada, Paul Quagliotto, Claudio Ranfagni, Daniela Repetto, Carla Riccoboni, Ivana Riggi, Roberta Risolo, James Rivière, Maddalena Rocco, Stenia Scarselli, Gianluca Staffolani, Barbara Uderzo, Silvia Valenti, Federico Vianello, Villa Francesca, Violavaleriano, Cristian Visentin, Laura Volpi, Andy Yuk, Chiara Zanetti, Christina Zani Roberto Zanon.
Anteprima: ecco il Museo del Gioiello
Anteprima del Museo del Gioiello. L’inaugurazione è prevista per il 24 dicembre, ma Gioiellis ha visitato in anteprima i locali della Basilica Palladiana, nel centro di Vicenza. Presente all’anteprima per la stampa il presidente di Fiera Vicenza, Matteo Marzotto. Che ha approfittato dell’occasione per fare il punto sulla strategia di VicenzaOro. «L’accordo con Panama (https://gioiellis.com/un-canale-panama-per-fiera-vicenza/) è la porta per il Sudamerica», ha spiegato, «mentre Dubai è la piattaforma per Far East e Africa. La regione del Golfo Persico è il più importante cliente dell’export gioielli italiano». E VicenzaOro, che a gennaio cambierà? «Abbiamo ampliato i saloni, il format dell’oro è stato completamente cambiato, più innovativo e basato su sei community diverse, anche nella linea grafica. Avrà sei sentieri d’acquisto per semplificare la visita dei clienti, per esempio i buyer internazionali che hanno poco tempo a disposizione: non vogliamo essere i più grandi come dimensioni, ma i migliori nel combinare domanda e offerta». Secondo il presidente di Fiera Vicenza, l’Italia è un grande distretto, da Valenza ad Arezzo, fino a Torre del Greco: tutti territori con una grande tradizione e Vicenza si è affermata come piattaforma di internazionalizzazione dell’intera filiera italiana. L’obiettivo è, ovviamente, anche migliorare il fatturato dell’ente Fiera Vicenza, a 32 milioni, di cui 21 derivano da VicenzaOro.
Il museo. È il primo in Italia e uno dei pochi al mondo dedicato esclusivamente al gioiello, situato nei 410 metri quadrati all’interno della Basilica Palladiana. Direttore è Alba Cappellieri, docente di Design del gioiello al Politecnico di Milano, mentre la progettista è Patricia Urquiola. L’esposizione permanente si sviluppa in un percorso articolato su due livelli: al piano terreno l’ingresso, con il bookshop con testi nazionali ed internazionali sul gioiello. Poi, la sala delle esposizioni temporanee, in cui sono previste mostre dedicate ai preziosi della gioielleria. Il piano superiore è il cuore del Museo, con nove sale espositive che accolgono circa 400 gioielli e accompagnano i visitatori in un percorso inedito, nel tempo e nelle culture, dalla preistoria al futuro: Simbolo, Magia, Funzione, Bellezza, Arte, Moda, Design, Icone e Futuro. Si punta, dunque, su ambiti tematici e non cronologici. Un’impostazione fortemente voluta dal direttore perché il concetto di gioiello muta con il tempo e segue le trasformazioni della società. E infatti, le opere che si trovano nelle sale curate da esperti internazionali come Aldo Bakker, Gijs Bakker, Bianca Cappello, Franco Cologni, Deanna Farneti Cera, Graziella Folchini Grassetto, Stefano Papi, Maura Picciau e Paolo Maria Guarrera, Alfonsina Russo e Ida Caruso, cambieranno ogni due anni. Per esempio nella sala Bellezza, interpretata da un’imprenditore come Cologni, già alla guida di Cartier international e attualmente presidente onorario del gruppo Richemont, gli oggetti esposti rappresentano la capacità tutta italiana di combinare il bello al saper fare. Il prossimo curatore, magari un francese a capo di una grande maison come Van Cleef &Arpels, selezionerà altre opere partendo da una filosofia e un gusto probabilmente diversi. Insomma, la rotazione non solo renderà il messo sempre vivo e dinamico, ma offrirà ai cittadini e si spera anche ai clienti della fiera una continuità. Non a caso, la scelta vede affiancati gioielli antichi, ma anche moderni, fino alle ultime creazioni realizzate con le stampanti in 3D. Monica Battistoni
