Alessandro Barone was born in Rome in 1967. He attends the State
Art Institute "Silvio D' Amico" wherehe gets
a
Master of Art diploma, winning also a prize in a regional school competition.
He starts out in goldsmith's craft doing some apprenticeship in the
goldsmith's shop of the master goldsmith Alfredo Tabacchiera, and
then making experience with Duilio Leo, who makes him realize the
importance of artisan work. In 1991 he decides to start a partnerschip
business in Umbria, establishing the "Alex & Dino s.n.c.",
with Dino Tabacchiera in the name
of both the mutual friendship and the passion for goldsmith's craft.
After quite a few years in this experience he has decided to open
up a goldsmith's shop in the historical city of Orvieto.The shop
is about to open. His work starts from the very first moment of the
design and is carried on up to the finished jewel.Particularly important
i the moment of the design, based on the precise examinationof a detail
which could stimulate his own interest and be the source of the creation
of an object which originates both from professionalism and the care
for details. The intimate knoweledge of the goldsmith's craft has
led him to the quest of his own ideal. He tries, anyway, to use his
artistic sense to create jewels which have also a regard for the ideas
the customer may have about. As for the modern jewel, if you just
give in the name of the person who will be presented with it, it is
"personalized". It comes out complete with a booklet with
the design and description of the object and its features, with a
guarantee that the that object is "unique".Among the various
tecniques he masters there is also the enamel.
