The Process
It’s the question every serious collector eventually asks. Here is the honest answer.
From Conversation to Certificate
01
Understanding the vision and the space the piece will inhabit.
02
Built and approved together with you, before any marble is touched.
03
Freeing the rough masses — the pointing technique, where it helps.
04
By hand alone, always Alberto or Ulderigo. Never delegated.
05
Signed, documenting the piece and its place in two generations of work.
In the Tradition of Canova
Sculpture has never relied on a single tool. Antonio Canova himself used assistants and the pointing technique to free the rough mass of a figure — and reserved the finishing, the part that gives a sculpture its soul, for his own hand alone. Alberto works in the same tradition, three centuries later.
“The eye, the fold of a drape, the final surface — the part that decides whether a sculpture breathes — passes only through Alberto’s hands, as it did through Ulderigo’s before him.”
