This room explores the often bold encounter between contemporary art and jewellery. From the post-war era onward, sculptors, painters, designers, and architects began to experiment with jewellery, transforming it from mere ornament into wearable artwork.
 Collaborations with visionary galleries and goldsmiths, such as Masenza in Rome, GEM in Milan, the Boccadasse Group, and the Padua School—paved the way for a new way of conceiving jewelry.

Here, “artist’s jewellery” and “author’s jewellery” coexist: on one side, projects by major figures of art and design; on the other, creations by goldsmiths who are themselves artists, combining technical mastery with formal research.
Gold, silver, stones, but also steel, plexiglass, ceramics, and industrial materials give life to unique pieces or small series in which the body becomes the privileged site of a direct encounter with the artwork.
