Through exhibitions, competitions, workshops, guided tours, conferences, and meetings with designers, craftsmen, architects, and industry experts from around the world, the dispersed festival, conceived in 2010 by the Cultural Association Arte e Design, chooses this year to explore the theme of possible SYNTHESIS in various aspects of design. The exhibition venues are scattered throughout the city, including private galleries and museums, homes and artist studios, shops, and workshops, with specific thematic routes, such as the one dedicated to jewelry and focused on the craftsmanship of master goldsmiths, which also includes the VDW Jewelry Selection competition, now in its tenth edition.
