Angela De Nozza New works inspired by memory, dream, space, time, silence and waiting
A long history of excellence distinguishes the value of the artistic and technical quality of the works crafted at Fratelli Piccini Jewellery on Ponte Vecchio in Florence since the early ‘900s, especially in the work of the precocious genius of Armando that at the age of only twenty-three won the First Award at the XX Venice Biennial in 1936. At the prestigious event he presented fourteen engraved stones that showed great virtuosity of shape united with a refined elegance of style: these are the precious stones donated by the artist to the City of Florence which are now on display, permanently, in the prestigious showcase of the Museo degli Argenti in Palazzo Pitti. Armando had studied at the Art Institute of Porta Romana, and had been a student of the charismatic master Libero Andreotti, also tightening sincere and lasting friendships with the sculptors Antonio Berti, Delio Crabs, and later with the painter Elio Fiore Pirzio.
