Costantino Rota undercover

Published on September 4, 2016

The globetrotting jewelry products in Valenza by Costantino Rota.
Do not expect to find around jewels with the brand Costantino Rota. Yet this company, which produces excellent pieces, will perform soon a century old. It was founded, in fact, in 1921 by the goldsmith Costantino Rota in Valenza. It seems that in addition to being a skilled craftsman, Costantino Rota also possessed a good sense of smell as an entrepreneur and, which is not bad, it was also appreciated. Its activity lasted until 1955, when he passed the helm to his son Dario, who continued his father’s business with the same attention to quality. On the other hand, in Valenza it is not difficult to recruit artisans with almost superhuman capacity and for this Maison from many other countries are turning to Valenza businesses to achieve their collections, which will then be sold under their brand name. And it is more or less what happens to Constantine Rota, detected by Cremonini & Malfatti, who sells her jewelry primarily abroad, in Europe and in Japan. The company transformed from a craft laboratory in a factory, did not want to give up their initial prerogatives. So if will pass under the eyes the jewelry products from Costantino Rota, you’ll never know. Giulia Netrese

The founder, designer and president of the jewelery brand, in short, has opted for a complete identification of the company, although he pointed out that the choice does not change the relationship with customers, let alone in the style of the products offered. They will continue to focus on skills goldsmith, the taste for quality and the processing patterns of jewelry. Gold, precious stones, pearls and search forms are the guidelines of this brand which is identified in the historic typical of products made in Italy, with the search for the collections of a “personal fit almost designer.” This result was achieved with “craftsmanship combined with the use of new technologies” that optimizes certain stages of the production process, “allowing us to make jewelry from top quality standard.” In short, a street that is in the middle between industry and handicrafts, as demonstrated by the new proposals.

C & C, a company in the district of Valenza founded by Antonello Cocuzza in 2005 is at his tenth birthday. The brand returns to VicenzaOro of September with the desire to confirm the work done so far. Let’s look at a collection of flagship: Florence. The line is inspired by the shape of the lily flower is the symbol of Florence. Pendants, earrings and bracelets reported stylized drawing of lily. To draw the petals, for example, they are used slabs of pink and white gold, accompanied by brilliant. On the other hand, gold is also used in other collections, as Archetype (in the words of ancient greek which means image and model), or Garden. The idea, in fact, is to follow a precise style: all the jewels are offered in 18-carat gold and diamonds, a classic combination that confirms C & C in the area of jewelry design and tradition. G.N.

Gioiello disegnato da De Chirico, esposto alla mostra «L'arte e il gioiello» a Valenza

The art and jewelery, in the homeland of goldsmiths. That is, an exhibition dedicated to the artists who performed and still compete to translate their creativity into necklaces, rings, bracelets. Unique pieces that, with Damiani, the tutelary deity of the jewelery, are on display in the Piedmont town that is the «valley» of the goldsmiths: the exhibition The art and the Jewel, was presented in Milan by the owner, Silvia Damiani, godmother Dalila Di Lazzaro, the town’s mayor, Sergio Cassano and the curator of the exhibition, Vittorio Sgarbi, in his role as art expert alternated to artist of the polemics. The exhibition, housed in the villa Scalcabarozzi, the first floor will house the history of the House Damiani, with a selection of prestigious objects and rare images already collected for the exhibition Damiani 90 years of excellence and passion. You can watch special pieces that have characterized the history of Damiani goldsmiths and some award-winning works as well as jewelry that received the Diamonds International Award, considered the Oscar of the Jewelry. Damiani is the only jeweler in the world to have received as many as 18 Diamonds International Awards. The rest, about 40 works, is the result of the selection of Sgarbi, a mix of star authors, such as De Chirico, Mitoraj, Tomato, César, Fausto Melotti, Lucio Fontana, Valerio Adami, Sonia Delaunay, and lesser known artists to the general public but equally interesting, as the Greek Lisa Sotilis, Frederick Holliday, Gino De Dominicis, Gaetano Pesce, Wilfred Lam, Giuseppe Bergomi, Livio Scarpella, Cannilla Franco, Nino Franchina, Pietro Consagra and Carlo Lorenzetti, Joseph Hooks, Luigi Ontani. Those who are most interested in the critic, in any event, seem to be those who have used their artistic abilities to create new jewelry, rather than transpose the own work in reduced version and precious. Not small sculptures of his art, in short, but the comparison with a new form of expression. In this category are Alberto Giorgi, Paola Crema, Christian Perali, Vanzi Mauro and Claudio Mariani. “These last two, in particular, achieve significant results in a formal rigor that seems goldcraft find an ideal terrain for their creativity, alluding to sources of abstract art, without being indebted,” explains Sgarbi.
