Homo Faber 2024 – 1-30 September

The Homo Faber event is back with its third edition, with the aim to showcase the craftsmanship behind the objects that accompany life’s most precious moments.

Luca Guadagnino and architect Nicolò Rosmarini will bring their vision and creativity to the art direction of this event. Exploring and developing The Journey of Life, a concept by Hanneli Rupert (Vice Chair of the Michelangelo Foundation), their staging will immerse visitors in a rich human narrative that weaves its way through Fondazione Giorgio Cini located on San Giorgio Maggiore island, in Venice. It is a unique opportunity to visit the magnificent spaces of this world-renowned cultural institution, a long term partner of the Michelangelo Foundation.

The event also offers the chance to experience the craftsmanship of iconic luxury Houses, such as Maison Alaïa, Alexandra Llewellyn, Buccellati, Cartier, de Gournay, Dunhill, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger-LeCoultre, le 19M et Lesage, J. & L. Lobmeyr, Montblanc, Panerai, Piaget, Santoni, Serapian, Vacheron Constantin, Van Cleef & Arpels

A special selection of bespoke experiences encompassing craftsmanship, entertainment and gastronomy are available to book in advance. Beyond the walls of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, the hidden gems of Venice will be revealed through Homo Faber in Città, a programme developed in partnership with Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte with the support of Cartier and in collaboration with prestigious Venetian institutions. Participants can discover as many as 70 ateliers, offering a new way to visit the city.

We will be on site early September – until then please discover more about the previous editions here.
