Monumental beauty, to call your own. The value of commissioning something uniquely yours, with the passion and quality inherent in works handmade in Italy, is priceless. As a patron of the artisans who carry on historic handmade techniques, a de Medici of our generation, you are sustaining the very traditions that comprise Italy's renowned culture of art, quality, and beauty. Wedding bands, picture frames, instruments: items that hold deep sentimental worth are those that will be handed-on and cherished from one generation to the next. Custom orders with Manimenti both ensure an heirloom's longevity and its special place within the narrative of a person's life or family tradition.
