“The jewels are not only valuable accessories to show off at times more or less important. A gem can and should tell a story: I always am inspired by the story of Capri, in the themes and materials that I choose to use to make my creations. And through these creations, a woman tells herself”.Antonella Puttini, jewelry designer of the fashion house caprese “Angela Puttini Capri” was inspired by St. Anne to tell the story, and particularly impressive, the church of St. Anne, the protagonist last Saturday, at the traditional feast of St. Anne in Borgo. Here, during the religious event organized by the Parish of Saint Stephen patron of Capri with the support of the Culture of the Municipality of the island, the young musician Francesca Vacca has performed a concert for flute, wearing the “pendant Sant’Anna” homonymous collection made entirely by hand by the designer Antonella Puttini.
“I wanted to create this gem, inspired by and paying homage to St. Anne, after a night I attended the presentation of a book that told the story of the little church of St. Anne, its frescoes and purification rituals that took place at ‘inside the sacred building since 1500″ said the talented artist of the island.”All my collection – he added – is inspired by the story of this beautiful island that the whole world envies us. I was so fascinated by what I was hearing that I wanted to play on a pendant in gold and silver dedicated to Saint Anne, with a miniature copper, the fresco of the Virgin Mary located in the church of the village, enriching it with diamonds cutting pink with a pearl and Australian Baroque. Have been able to see this pendant worn during the festival of St. Anne at Borgo has filled me with joy and pride“.
