Michele Affidato visits Gioielleria Cirillo in Diamante

Master goldsmith Michele Affidato visited Gioielleria Cirillo in Diamante to discuss the intersection of jewelry, tradition, and regional identity. The visit was connected to the ‘Bruno Giordano’ Clean Sea Award, an initiative focused on environmental protection and territorial valorization.

Affidato created a specific work representing the Isola di Cirella to serve as a symbol for the municipality. During his visit to the Cirillo family jewelry store, which has operated for four generations, the discussion centered on how goldsmithing can serve as a medium for storytelling and preserving community history through artistic craftsmanship.
