Artist information

Renowned craftsman Lorenzo Foglia was born in Viareggio in 1971. His journey in metalwork began in his family’s workshop, under the teachings of his father and grandfather. He honed skills like embossing and chiseling, which led him to create esteemed pieces for the Royal Houses of Europe and the entertainment industry.

Lorenzo is a two-time winner of the international “Art in a Jewel” competition by Florence Gift Mart.
