Master goldsmith Michele Affidato has been recognized for his artistic contributions and connection to Calabrian heritage through various regional events.

In Diamante, Affidato visited Gioielleria Cirillo to discuss the role of craftsmanship in preserving community history and regional identity. This visit was linked to the ‘Bruno Giordano’ Clean Sea Award, an initiative for environmental protection and territorial valorization. During this engagement, Affidato created a work representing the Isola di Cirella to serve as a municipal symbol.

Subsequently, the town of Bianco hosted a celebration at the Vecchia Pardesca to honor Affidato’s international career in goldsmithing and sacred art. The event, attended by local political and cultural figures, highlighted his roots in Crotone and the artistic contributions of his children, including sculptor Antonio Affidato.
