Il gioiello e il cinema

To introduce you to the world of jewel, Venice Design Week in collaboration with Marianna Serandrei is organizing “Il gioiello nel cinema” (jewels inside the cinema), an interesting conference led by the cinema expert Carlo Montanaro. The lecture will take place the 22nd of September 2015 at 5 pm at Hotel Saturnia Conference Hall in Venice. This event will be an anticipation on the upcoming exhibition that will showcase the jewells of the winning participants of the Jewelry VDW Selection. This show will run from the 28th of September to the 11th of October 2015 at Ca’ Pisani Design Hotel.

Searching jewels in the cinema universe has always been an authentic treasure hunt; we can find them in every inch of film as protagonist or just key of expression. The difficulty of understanding whether the jewel can be defining or not is what fascinates us most. An object that pull you from adventure to exotic dimensions and not only…In few words, we will go through this question, traveling from elegance to luxury and art getting to know the true role of the jewel in the cinema.
