Federico Gauttieri is acutely in-tune with his senses, constantly striving for perfection. As the descendant of an age-old noble family, Federico resounds with the echoing glories of a lineage that has continued for over a thousand years, since his ancestors took part in the First Crusade. From that moment on, a plaque set in the entrance to the ruins of the ancient harbour of Caesarea in Israel has commemorated the adventurous spirit of the Gauttieri family. Over time a creative streak evolved, shaping each aspect of existence, and the focus turned to jewelery – the synthesis of everything that is considered beautiful.
