Exhibition

Maria Paola Ranfi. Gioiello intimo colloquio

Until January 26, at the Casina delle Civette in Rome you can visit the anthological exhibition dedicated to Roman goldsmith Maria Paola Ranfi, who skillfully shapes matter into truly precious sculptures. The exhibition presents a selection of 60 works created between the 1990s and the present day: an excursus divided into several collections, from Art Nouveau to animalier, from Venetian masks to sculptures in resin and ceramic, up to those in bronze. One-of-a-kind pieces with rare, particular forms inspired by the stylistic features of Art Nouveau, freely reinterpreted with new, balanced and harmonious results thanks to the manual know-how of a contemporary craftswoman.
