Elis Gebbani, a Venetian goldsmith, began frequenting the workshop of Valerio Boghi – one of Venice’s foremost jewelry artists – at the age of thirteen. Boghi was highly regarded by the city’s most prestigious jewelers. Elis’s goal was to learn the secrets and techniques of the ancient goldsmithing tradition of the Serenissima Republic. At eighteen, he opened a jewelry store together with his father, an experience that exposed him to new opportunities, environments, and influences, allowing him to absorb knowledge from various Italian goldsmithing traditions.
Among these encounters was Franco Meli, a renowned scholar, educator, and passionate advocate of Florentine goldsmithing, as well as a professor at the University of Florence. Through the study of Meli’s jewelry, Gebbani mastered the techniques of Etruscan granulation and the distinctive Florentine madrevitato craftsmanship.
Throughout his artistic career, Elis Gebbani has created unique pieces in both classical and contemporary styles, drawing inspiration from architecture and sculpture. He also collaborates with leading luxury fashion brands and is a highly skilled restorer of antique jewelry.
In 2015, he opened his workshop, Atelier dei Dogi, in a sixteenth-century palazzo in the heart of Venice’s historic center. The name pays tribute to the city he loves and has always considered his greatest source of inspiration. Every jewel is entirely handcrafted in his workshop, without the use of prefabricated components and exclusively through traditional goldsmithing techniques, including casting, rolling, piercing, soldering, and finishing, all carried out in-house.
