Alba Cappellieri and Rino Raggio are curating the exhibition, L’arte del bijoux italiano, divided into a section covering prét à porter, and another dedicated to five jewellers from Milan: Bozart, Ornella Bijoux, Sharra Pagano, Ottavio Re and Unger. Each has interpreted the period’s style with vibrant imagination and unparalleled virtuosity. The collection includes a variety of jewellery types, some monochrome and others boldly multi-coloured, that range from interpretations of fauna and flora, to surrealist shapes that linger on soft curves or strict geometric forms. The contrast between common metals, plastic and semi-precious stones seems to have sparked the artists’ imaginations, as they offered up vivid objects that have an ironic or iconoclastic vein. The “meagre” materials acquire precious value thanks to the pieces’ inventive richness.
