What makes the story particularly compelling is the continuity of the workshop itself. The house grew out of Florence’s traditional goldsmithing culture, but it has never remained frozen in time. Inside Torre Altoviti, historic handcraft techniques continue to sit alongside newer methods — preserving the character of Florentine jewellery while allowing the work to evolve from one generation to the next.

That balance is visible in the jewellery. The pieces feel rooted in craftsmanship, while colour, scale and sculptural proportion give them a distinctly contemporary presence. It is this dialogue between heritage and modernity that makes Fabio Fanfani particularly interesting now: the story is unmistakably Florentine, while the jewellery itself sits naturally within a modern international wardrobe.
