Harnessing energy

  • • Fernando believes in the energy of uniqueness
  • • Experimentation is at the centre of his work
  • • He teaches his craft to others

Born in Padua, Fernando Betto graduated as Maestro d’Arte at the Pietro Selvatico Institute, specialising in metal, marble and wood. He trained in the workshops of several master goldsmiths between Padua and Vicenza, acquiring heritage goldsmithing techniques of the area. His personal vision on goldsmithing and jewellery making began to crystallise. In 2011 he opened Oficinad'arte, his workshop in Padua, followed by a second atelier in Caorle in 2018. At the centre of Fernando's work is experimentation that leads him to create pieces with a special energy, as unique as every human being and every moment in life. Conscientious about the importance of passing on knowledge, over the years Fernando has taught many students and apprentices, enhancing their work with exhibition initiatives.
