Arezzo: Alberto Zorzi solo exhibition at Museo Orodautore — jewellery

Arezzo: Alberto Zorzi at Museo Orodautore

The Museo Orodautore, located in the historic Palazzo della Fraternità on Piazza Grande in Arezzo, presents a solo exhibition by Alberto Zorzi running until 1 November 2026. Curated by Giuliano Centrodi, the show highlights the artist’s long investigation into jewellery as sculptural object.

Highlights

The exhibition displays roughly 350 works including jewellery, ornaments and micro-sculptures produced from the 1970s to the present. Key pieces on display include brooches, necklaces, rings and everyday objects that reflect Zorzi’s formal and material experimentation.

• Brooch “La Città - Arezzo”, a pentagonal plan-view representation of the city.
• Series such as “Structura” and “Scrittura”, featuring low-relief surfaces and experimental textures.
• Design collaborations with Greggio Argenti 1948, including the Pitagora and Fellini collections of vessels and table objects.

Why visit

Zorzi’s work blurs the lines between jewellery, sculpture and design: a wide range of materials — gold, platinum, silver, copper, steel, ebony and quartz — is combined with surface treatments like sanding, engraving and granulation. The exhibition is relevant for professionals in the goldsmith field and for visitors interested in contemporary jewellery innovation.
