A conversation in the gallery between the artist Giorgio Facchini and his daughter Federica Facchini, art historian and critic. A concluding moment of discussion and in-depth exploration that becomes a privileged opportunity to immerse oneself in Giorgio Facchini’s artistic research. Through dialogues, memories, and anecdotes, the journey retraces the fundamental stages of his work, from his beginnings in the late 1960s to his most recent experiments and reflections, offering

Facchini has always been a sculptor, ever since his studies at the Venice Academy. Sculpture permeates every artifact produced in his studio in Fano, as is fully demonstrated by the circularity of the elements he depicts. Symbolic signs and allegorical figures always combine to form a plastic concert, a chromatic chorus, of singular eloquence in the round, even when entwined on only one plane. Facchini creates refined sculptures, open to their surroundings, without inflating

Giorgio Facchini, a longtime friend of the Umbrian city, crosses the imposing threshold of Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive. The grand eighteenth-century building serves as a counterpoint to the jewelry that the Marche-born artist, since the 1960s, has created with a sculptural approach and a designer's flair.

It is not just about creating a precious object, but about giving shape to a thought, an emotion, a gesture that endures over time. Artistic value lies in the ability to transform matter and sensibility into a living, recognizable presence, a bearer of history. As Giorgio Facchini states: "My projects arise from visions and intuitio

The Transferred Legend A work of art is often cloaked in the legend of the artist who created it. Conversely, a work of goldsmithing transfers the legend to those who choose it and cherish it. Many jewels, even some more recent “designer” pieces, are remembered more for those who have owned them than for their creators. An interesting lesson for modernity! Ever since he created and exhibited his first brooches thirty years ago, while still a sculpture student at the Academy o

Spatialism and the Space Age In the 1960s, a historical period marked by interest in space and the imagery associated with lunar exploration, Giorgio Facchini explored the language of Spatialism, translating it into research applied to jewelry. By inserting small mechanical elements within the structure of his creations, he evoked the idea of space machines and introduced a dynamic dimension that transcends the static nature of the ornamental object Movement, Light, and Chang
