Altare

Description

The experience begins in Cosseria with a visit to the Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception to admire the late-Gothic frescoes in the sacristy.
At Altare, in the Glass Art Museum, each object tells a story of beauty and precision, while the light plays with the transparent and colorful surfaces, creating reflections and unexpected shades. The appeal of the artistic process comes from the workshop, and sitting at a workbench of an engraving artisan of Altare and holding the tools for the first time, is a one-off emotion. The smooth and cold feeling of glass under your fingers, the slight vibration of the engraver, the subtle sound of the tool carving into the material... Slowly, the drawing or the decorative motif emerges from the transparent color and comes to life in an almost meditative experience, a silent dialog between mind and matter, between creativity and technique. Holding your own artifact brings a great sense of satisfaction and an
unforgettable memory.
