Doriana Usai is the winner of the “Artigiano del Cuore” 2022 Competition.

With an impressive 2094 votes obtained on the contest website during the online voting phase, Doriana Usai, a ceramist from Assemini (Cagliari), is the winner of the 5th Edition of the "Artigiano del Cuore" contest, promoted by the Cologni Foundation and the Well-made.it platform. She will thus be able to receive the prize up for grabs: a shadowing course with the communication agency TA-DAAN, with the aim of increasing the visibility of her business and telling her work in an original and effective way on digital channels, with special attention to social networks. With the visibility she will gain through this path, she will be able to popularize the Asseminese ceramic tradition and introduce the secrets of Sardinian know-how to a wider audience. Doriana will also be able to exhibit for free at the "Fatti ad Arte" event, a partner of the Competition, to be held in Biella on October 7, 8 and 9, 2022.
