ALBERTO ZORZI (Born 1958)

The Italian goldsmith Alberto Zorzi is one of the Padua School’s goldsmiths, whose individual members are celebrated for their innovative use of gold and for sculptural forms of subtle minimalism. He has been both student and teacher at the influential Instituto Statale d’Arte Pietro Selvatico in Padua, and has subsequently taught in Milan and Florence. Geometry has a recurring fascination for him and has inspired much of his work.
