This is the story of my recovery activity of an old warehouse from which I obtained period materials for my collectible bijoux! "In Bologna there are people who have conservation and recovery in their DNA; Annarita Vitali, Graduated in Urban Planning with the Arch.tto Cervellati, who has always been active in the recovery of historic centers, she pursued, working on her own, after a collaboration with the Artistic Events Authority and the Gallery of Modern Art, of recovery, aimed at jewel and its creation.
