The Italian Jewel of the Twentieth Century
Il Gioiello Italiano del XX Secolo
Until 20th March 2017
The exhibition, organized by the historic jewel Melissa Gabardi, tells for the first time, through the exhibition of over 150 works, the scenery of Italian production in 1900, tracing the evolution through chronological sections dedicated to the Neo - historicism, to Liberty, Art Deco, the production of the thirties, forties and fifties, until you get to the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties: the path of the birth of the "made in Italy".
The archival research, have in fact highlighted the homegrown technical excellence and the perfect organization of work in the goldsmith workshops, and have also enabled us to reconstruct the history of Italian jewelers, often active in real family business, arrived today at the third or the fourth generation.
Parade before our eyes so different types of precious objects - tiaras and diadems, necklaces umbilicals, rings, bracelets, brooches and earrings - made from large Italian goldsmith names: from the splendor of the jewelry and then Mario Gianmaria Buccellati, the creations of the Milan Alfredo Ravasco (some works will be on public display for the first time), the Genoese Filippo Chiappe, of the Turin Musy, the Roman Petochi and Milan Cusi, the neoarcheologismo Codognato, to jewelry in coral Ascione family.
The jewels were also studied in their historical, social and economic, with particular reference to contemporary artistic culture (fashion, design, architecture), as well as events and personalities that have characterized the various ages and influenced public opinion, in particularly members of royal families and movie stars, who were inspiring models of collective taste.
The ambitious exhibition project of the Poldi Pezzoli Museum aims to show how the history of jewelry and of Italian twentieth century jewelers joints through an interesting trail: while in the first half of the twentieth century Italian creativity has often drawn inspiration from the contemporary French production, starting the second half of the last century has also chosen, thanks to absolutely brilliant technical and creative skills and innovative some great jewelers, an autonomous path, becoming a landmark of the international jewelery production, this would put the birth of the "made in Italy".
La mostra, a cura della storica del gioiello Melissa Gabardi, racconta per la prima volta, attraverso l’esposizione di più di 150 opere, lo scenario della produzione italiana del 1900, ripercorrendone l’evoluzione attraverso sezioni cronologiche dedicate al Neo – storicismo, al Liberty, all’Art Déco, alla produzione degli Anni Trenta, Quaranta e Cinquanta, fino ad arrivare agli anni Sessanta, Settanta, Ottanta e Novanta: il percorso della nascita del “made in Italy”.
Le ricerche di archivio, hanno infatti messo in luce le eccellenze tecniche nostrane e la perfetta organizzazione del lavoro nelle botteghe orafe, e hanno inoltre permesso di ricostruire la storia dei gioiellieri italiani, spesso attivi in vere e proprie imprese famigliari, giunte oggi alla terza o alla quarta generazione.
Sfilano così sotto i nostri occhi diverse tipologie di oggetti preziosi - tiare e diademi, collane ombelicali, anelli, bracciali, spille e orecchini - realizzati dai grandi nomi dell’oreficeria italiana: a partire dallo splendore dei monili di Mario e poi di Gianmaria Buccellati, alle creazioni del milanese Alfredo Ravasco (alcune opere verranno esposte al pubblico per la prima volta), del genovese Filippo Chiappe, dei torinesi Musy, del romano Petochi e del milanese Cusi, al neoarcheologismo di Codognato, ai gioielli in corallo della Famiglia Ascione.
I gioielli sono stati inoltre studiati nel loro contesto storico, sociale e economico, con riferimento particolare alla cultura artistica coeva (moda, design, architettura), oltre che a eventi e personaggi che hanno caratterizzato le varie epoche e influenzato l’opinione pubblica, in particolare i membri delle famiglie reali e le star del cinema, che sono stati modelli ispiratori del gusto collettivo.
L’ambizioso progetto espositivo del Museo Poldi Pezzoli intende dimostrare come la storia della gioielleria e dei gioiellieri italiani del XX secolo si snodi attraverso un interessante percorso: mentre nella prima metà del Novecento la creatività italiana ha tratto spesso spunto dalla coeva produzione francese, a partire dalla seconda metà del secolo scorso ha scelto poi, grazie alle capacità tecniche e creative assolutamente geniali e innovative di alcuni grandi gioiellieri, un percorso autonomo, diventando un punto di riferimento della produzione orafa internazionale, decretando così la nascita del “made in Italy”.
Opening hours: 10 am to 6 pm - Closed on Tuesdays
