Luigi and Eros Genazzi were pivotal figures in 20th-century Italian silver craftsmanship, blending tradition with modern design. Luigi, born in 1876, trained in Milan and gained recognition as an engraver and medalist. In 1919, he founded his workshop, becoming a master silversmith, influenced by the Secessionist and Art Deco movements. In the 1920s, he collaborated with designers like Gio Ponti. His son Eros, born in 1908, brought innovative approaches in the 1930s-40s, gaining praise at international exhibitions. After Luigi’s death in 1946, Eros led the workshop to further success, earning multiple awards and leaving a lasting legacy.
