In 1996, I was accepted into the select group of 50 artisans chosen to create MuseoMuseo, the first collection of high-quality handcrafted objects intended for the then-emerging museum bookstores.

The collection of MuseoMuseo varies in type and materials, including wood, ceramics, silk, marble, jewelry, crystal, and more. It featured objects closely tied to Italy’s museum heritage, and I was involved in the design and creation of objects for the Uffizi Galleries, the Museum of the Medici Chapels, Palazzo Pitti, the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice, Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, and the Archaeological Museum of Naples. In the summer of 1997, the MuseoMuseo collection, approved by MiBACT (now the Ministry of Culture), was previewed in an unforgettable exhibition in the prestigious Sala Bianca of the Pitti Palaces in Florence.
