In the heart of the Berici Hills, the elegant setting of Villa Michelangelo – Starhotels Collezione hosts “L'Arte del Saper Fare”, a new chapter of the patronage project La Grande Bellezza – The Dream Factory, an homage to the mastery and creativity of Italian artisans.
The exhibition features two master artisans from Vicenza: Giancarlo Busato, known for his fine art prints, and Daniela Vettori, creator of jewelry that has captivated audiences around the world.
The dual exhibition will open on Thursday, October 23, and will be viewable until December 5, 2025, transforming the hotel into a true museum. The common thread of the exhibition is Palladio in all his expressions — an act of love toward the Berici territory, of which Villa Michelangelo is an integral part.

THE EXHIBITORS
Stamperia d’Arte Busato
Giancarlo Busato has carried on the legacy of the workshop founded in 1946 by his grandfather Ottorino, keeping alive the family passion. He specializes in fine art printing, using techniques such as lithography and etching. The printshop has become an incubator for artists as well as an educational hub for young talents.
Here he presents a collection of 12 lithographs based on works by Tono Zancanaro from 1970, dedicated to the Venetian Villas. Images scattered like a constellation across the Venetian “mainland.” These villas are not mere stone buildings, but living creatures that have endured through time, bearing witness to the harmony and beauty of lost seasons.
Gioielli Daniela Vettori
Daniela Vettori has always firmly believed that every jewel is a unique creation, endowed with its own expressive soul. Her artisan goldsmith workshop produces true works of art in 18-karat yellow gold (750) and sterling silver (925). Each jewel is crafted with grace and dedication, shaped by the sense of Beauty that Daniela absorbed from childhood, with a painter mother and a photographer father.
From her encounter with wood artisan and artist Nicola Tessari comes this wonderful collection of unique pieces, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the woods of the Venetian hills.
