Visite Privee { Inside the house of Maria Calderara}

{Visite Privee}: Harmony - The restructured house from the fifteenth century in the Lake Garda region is home to Maria Calderara, an Italian jewellery/fashion designer. Noticeable the harmony on each room, the calm and serenity of white and light grey is a constant throughout the house. Essential and vintage furniture,touches of sober colours, contemporary art on the walls but nothing else : just natural light.

Many years ago I bought a pair of earrings made of cobalt blue Venetian glass beads, which carried the signature of Maria Calderara.

There were so special to me.... lots of minuscule beads twisted together resembling a flowers shape. Unfortunately I don't own them anymore as a while ago I gave it to [ I thought] a very special friend - which I am not longer in contact with. Whatever she did with it I really hope she treasure them as they are beautiful and precious...

Maria Calderara's jewellery are to be considered as "one secret expressed through another one". mysterious and magical, they bond the Orient's "spell", the loyalty to the tradition of craftsmanship and the light together.

Maria Calderara works mainly with Venetian glass beads, but her artwork has developed through the years introducing new materials and by launching her fashion collection.
