From 1 to 30 September 2024, the Michelangelo Foundation presented the third edition of Homo Faber, in partnership with the Giorgio Cini Foundation and the Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte. Hosted at the Giorgio Cini Foundation on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the exhibition celebrated the excellence of international craftsmanship. Under the artistic direction of Luca Guadagnino and the collaboration of architect Nicolò Rosmarini, the theme The Journey of Life explored the fundamental stages of human life through art and craftsmanship.
From childhood to dreams, from love stories to travel, Homo Faber 2024 offered a symbolic journey through life, with unique objects created by craftsmen from all over the world. Inspired by an idea of Hanneli Rupert, Vice-President of the Michelangelo Foundation, the display guided visitors on a journey that intertwined tradition and innovation.
In addition to the main exhibition, the Homo Faber in the City programme invited participants to explore Venice through the itineraries of the artisan workshops, offering an immersive experience of excellent craftsmanship. The Finking team had the opportunity to visit the exhibition and was fascinated by the elegance and craftsmanship of the works on display, which made Homo Faber 2024 a truly memorable experience.
