6,000 visitors to the tour of the art workshops; 350 students to follow the workshops; 200 adults to the workshop; 150 children and families to work with the artists: an unexpected and surprising result for the pilot edition of “Bravo! di Maestri d'Arte” at Artigiano in Fiera, a project proposing a new educational model curated by the Fondazione Culturale PENSARE Oltre, with the support of Fondazione Cologni.
A 9-day event (30 November - 8 December 2024) in Rho Fiera Milano at the Artigiano in Fiera premises, dedicated to the discovery of great Made in Italy craftsmanship, with a unique experience that offered the opportunity to ‘Making the Beautiful’. Children, adults and schools were able to visit and be protagonists of the art workshops set up for the occasion, where masters of violin making, goldsmithing, weaving and leather goods showed, and let them experience, how those art objects that the whole world admires are made.
The initiative, which is completely free of charge, has seen the prestigious Media Partnership of Rai News24, present with its own troupe at the inaugural ribbon-cutting ceremony, and the patronage of the Regione Lombardia and Milan City Council, as well as the support of the Regione Lombardia's MIC Archival and Bibliographic Superintendence. Main Partner of Bravo! is the Fondazione Antonio Carlo Monzino, in collaboration with Confartigianato, Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte, Fondazione Palio di Legnano, Fondazione Lisio Arte della Seta, Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano, Accademia Francesco Ricchino, Galdus, Fondazione Innova Professioni ITS, Aslam and CITA-Consociazione Italiana Tappezzieri.
Interviewed by Rai News24, our general director Alberto Cavalli says: “Here it is possible with the presence of some important schools of arts and crafts to create direct contact between the beauty of the object and the beauty of the gesture needed to create it!”
