memento CHIESA D'ORO

Inspired by the drawers of the sacristy of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice.

Almost oriental smells, reminiscent of the spices (from the Latin "species", special, valuable goods) that came by sea to the lagoon city. In Venice, spice makers experiment with these ingredients, mixing and measuring them and then selling them in small packets called "Venetian bags". From that moment on, Venice and the whole world will no longer be able to do without spices, used not always to season food, but often also to enrich the rites inside its cathedral, filled with gold mosaics, with solemnity and preciousness.
