The quality and beauty of the fabrics, together with an impeccable cut, are the strengths of the works created in this small and nice skirt workshop. Smiling, very kind and secretive, Elena Bergnach designs the models and creates items that, though very original, never prevaricate the personality of those who wear them. And maybe that’s the reason why it’s always pleasant to wear these skirts, even after years. It’s a tailor-made service based on the tastes and needs of the customer, for which Elena Bergnach has an infallible memory.

His workshop, now run by his son Enrico, merges savoir-faire with creativity and innovation in jewellery, where gold, silver, bronze, and enamel are the basic elements of one common denominator: the well made.

Gabriella Sacchi

A window on a poetic dimension

Gabriella Sacchi is profound and straightforward, intelligently simple in manner and always a person of substance: I like her and I like her work as a ceramics artist. Her creations, whether they are objects in everyday use or overtly artistic works, always assert themselves as the fruit of manual and head work. There is never anything vague or general. Any object in her workshop – however simple – seems to be there just for you: it evokes memories, fuels dreams, resonates with your life experience. The words, which the artist sometimes writes on her creations, open a window on a manifestly poetic dimension, where ceramics become a crossroads for different languages.
