“For the Bellezza, hate me well, Phaedrus, the Bellezza alone is divine and visible at the same time, and that is why it is the way to the sensitive, it is, little Phaedrus, the way that leads the artist to the spirit.”
Thomas Mann

HOW WE ARE UNIQUE
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
(Oscar Wilde)
Mastery comes from a constant and passionate practical application of learned knowledge.
It is the ability to conceive new ideas and products that allow us to distinguish a craftsman from a master, an object from a masterpiece.
The ability to create something new and unique by harmonizing the old and the new also through the innovative use of ancient techniques.
A master craftsman does not just replicate tradition but reinterprets it, innovates it and adapts it to the taste and spirit of his time.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
If there is one, is that success is brought about by a combination of smart habits, passion, a tenacious spirit, and…… a whole lot of luck.
FIND YOUR PASSION
You should be excited to do everything you do and would do them for free in order to be successful.
START WITH WHY
Asking why we do what we do, are the most successful. You need a dream not a plan.
BE PATIENT
Success requires patience and graft to stick with the challenges and to see the journey through.
