Davide Bigazzi’s handcrafted jewelry and hollowware are a blend of contemporary artistry and old world craftsmanship that echoes back to his native Florence, Italy. Capturing the intrinsic beauty and sculptural qualities of metal by employing chasing & repousse` has been his lifelong passion.
During his early teens, Davide apprenticed with Bino Bini (1916-2007), the renowned Florentine metalsmith and sculptor, aiding in commissions for the Vatican, national banks, churches, etc.. Bino, one of the most notable Italian artists of our day, passed on a chasing & repousse' legacy which Davide is committed to preserving via the hands-on workshops he teaches in the U.S. and Italy.
