About Marcello Mancuso

I have always found it fascinating to question and discover the dimension in which matter acquires form and meaning, becoming an extraordinary means of communication. My game began as a child in the studio of the painter Luisa Pelucchi, where the intense smells of resins and essences, the colors of the tubes cast on the palette were at the helm of my natural creative instinct. This atmosphere has educated me to recognize beauty and to look for it everywhere. After art school I start working at one of the main artistic foundries, where I will get to know the main local artists. In the meantime I attend courses in goldsmithing, gemology and setting to master the techniques of working precious metals. Experience increases my real need to understand and experiment without limits, pushing me to build a space where I can act in an absolutely personal and free way. This need coincides with the beginning of my profession, which allowed me to practice the various techniques acquired, working on projects of various kinds. The choice is to move in a continuous search, without ever losing sight of the traditional canons and methods. Today owner of the Ancient Foundry of Art M.A.F. Milan, art workshop for over 150 years and creative forge of new ideas and experimentation. It is the same forces that still support my certainties today: the importance of this profession and the profound richness of the path undertaken..
