“Homo Faber” is a cycle of meetings with economists, historians, journalists and great master artisans coordinated by Paolo Dalla Sega and presented by the Cologni Foundation for the Métiers d’Art in collaboration with the Research Centre "Arti e Mestieri" at the Università Cattolica in Milan. The purpose of the meetings is to create awareness of Italian “know-how”, which is both a cultural heritage and an economic asset.
When Italy’s noble tradition of artistic craftsmanship of excellence encounters present-day creativity it produces dynamic and intense expressions of the “artisanal approach”, contributing to a national identity based on taste, style and research. “Artfully Made” is thus a value that can identify the best of “Made in Italy” creativity, representing a crucial competitive advantage for our country.
