Galleria Michela Rizzo presents a new event dedicated to the encounter between fashion and contemporary art, showcasing the creations of Maria Calderara — garments, bijoux, and archive pieces — in dialogue with a selection of artworks.

Taking place on November 8 and 9 at the gallery’s new venue, Palazzo Palumbo Fossati, the exhibition stems from the desire to share Maria Calderara’s vision as a fluid space where craftsmanship and artistic research merge into a shared language.

Rooted in Venice, Maria Calderara’s brand remains closely tied to the city’s authentic spirit: since 1983, her jewelry has been crafted locally through an all-female production, while her clothing lines are made entirely in Italy. Over the years, Calderara has developed deep connections with numerous artists — from Piero Manzoni to Gianni Pettena, Antonio Scaccabarozzi, Eugenio Tibaldi, and most recently, Satoshi Hirose.

During the two-day event, visitors will have the opportunity to explore and acquire selected creations — expressions of a practice that weaves together art, craftsmanship, and personal sensibility.
