The splendid building, built in the XVII century by the Cominelli family, overlooking the Gulf of Salò, houses the Foundation.

The Fondazione Cominelli, in carrying out its cultural activities has now come up with an articulated project where it becomes a reference point for the applied arts, not only for exhibitions, but also as a place where applied art “is  done”; it does this by organising workshops and conferences on the subject;  of this complex panorama it has chosen to present and delve into some sectors only: photography, ceramics and jewellery.

The Fondazione Cominelli is sided by agc which organises and promotes the  event. Agc has already promoted other projects on the national territory.

Agc, Contemporary Jewellery Association founded in June 2004, has, among its statutory objectives, that of drawing attention to the value of the contemporary jewellery culture and spreading it.

Contemporary jewellery today represents a sector of advanced research and experimentation of new expressive languages as well as exploiting the personal ornament concept. In close contact with the  international  community, the association follows up a series of initiatives aimed at  promoting a constructive and synergistic confrontation with other artistic and productive realities.

Here, in this setting, will be held the fourth edition of the “Premio Fondazione Cominelli”. This year this manifestation will be sided a section dedicated to training in the University, Institutes and Schools in this sector. The scope of this section is to present and confront different formative directions within the “jewellery” ambit, the different orientations, from design to artistic and handcraft training, getting the formative peculiarities of each reality to emerge.
