It all started at Villa Claretta , a university residence located in Grugliasco in the province of Turin . I was a student at the faculty of agriculture in Turin and I had my little garden above the residence parking lot. One evening in May 2018, I had forgotten the water hose open, I ran to turn it off, illuminating the path with my cell phone. It was there that I captured that same place, wrapped in that moment in boundless beauty. All the flowering weeds came out of that darkness sparkling as if illuminated by day but against the backdrop of a black painting.

I wanted to immortalize this vision with a photo but the cell phone was the flashlight. In the days that followed, seduced by that enchantment, I undertook an in-depth study on flower stabilization.

With the autumn, thanks to the stabilization tests concluded successfully, I started to make jewelry with 5 ml bottles with cork stoppers, containing flowers and leaves of spontaneous plants. During the Christmas period, my gift idea was very much liked by friends and colleagues, strong in that success, I booked for my first market as an exhibitor. I therefore registered as a hobbyist and thus my first brand was born: 13'Or Fiori & Foglie. Although they were very much appreciated, I realized that my idea of ​​​​the pendants lacked authenticity to recreate the dream of that night vision of mine.
