Venetian gold between art and history

Guided visit to a goldsmith's workshop to discover one of the oldest arts in Venice

An open-air piece of art: in every corner of Venice you can breathe unparalleled art, tradition and craftsmanship. Discover ancient knowledge and crafts thanks to a guided tour of a goldsmith's workshop. Together with a private guide, reach a palace where the painter Tiziano Vecellio also lived. Enter the laboratory to learn gold working techniques and the processes that transform an ingot into a thin sheet. From casting, to lamination and beating, up to cutting and packaging, let yourself be enraptured by the wisdom of the "gold beaters", the master craftsmen and follow their art. An experience to understand perfection that becomes an icon.
