"🇬🇧 Very fine jewelry inspired by ancient Rome, with homage paid to the Greeks and Etruscans, too.
Massimo Maria Melis was born in Rome February 21, 1947.
He studied Scenography and Costume at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Rome.
He subsequently worked in advertising graphics, as a cinematic costume designer and scene photographer as well as acting in three German films.
At the same time he developed his love for antique art, particularly for jewelry. His passion was such that he started to study and experiment with antique techniques for creating gold artefacts.
The success of these experiments bought his first commissions for jewlery from friends and relatives leading him to set up as a goldsmith in 1974.
He moved his experimental workshop from his attic, opening to the public in Via del Cancello in the centre of Rome.
In 1982 he moved to Via del Orso, a road notable both for its history and for the concentration of prestigious artisan workshops.
On 29 November 2010, he was awarded the title of Maestro Artigiano (Master Craftsman) by the Mayor of the City of Rome, Mr. Gianni Alemanno.
🇮🇹 Gioielli raffinati ispirati all'antica Roma, con omaggio anche ai Greci e agli Etruschi.
Massimo Maria Melis è nato a Roma il 21 febbraio 1947.
Ha studiato Scenografia e Costume all'Accademia delle Belle Arti di Roma.
Successivamente ha lavorato nella grafica pubblicitaria, come costumista cinematografico e fotografo di scena, oltre a recitare in tre film tedeschi.
Allo stesso tempo ha sviluppato il suo amore per l'arte antica, in particolare per i gioielli. La sua passione fu tale che iniziò a studiare e sperimentare tecniche antiche per la creazione di gioielli in oro.
Il successo di queste sperimentazioni gli fece guadagnare le prime commissioni di gioielli da amici e parenti portandolo ad avviarsi come orefice nel 1974, quando trasferì la sua bottega sperimentale dalla sua soffitta a via del Cancello nel centro di Roma.
Nel 1982 si trasferisce in Via del Orso, strada nota sia per la sua storia che per la concentrazione di prestigiose botteghe artigiane.
Il 29 novembre 2010 è stato insignito del titolo di Maestro Artigiano dal Sindaco del Comune di Roma, Sig. Gianni Alemanno.
