Of Sicilian origin but venetian adoption, Piero Massaro immediately strucks for his fresh and original creativity, cloaked in delicious details and lacking of abused contamination.
His search for singularity and his care of the “unique” are among the reasons why the realization of his eyeglasses is carried out by artisans working alongside him, that must perform with almost obsessive precision; he conducts his orchestra skilfully, for he knows how to play all the instruments! Such passion and tenacity have enabled Piero Massaro to enjoy international acclaim within the discipline: in 2012 he received an initial nomination and, in 2014, he was awarded a prestigious special prize by the international jury of Silmo D’Or. He lives and works in Veneto, but his bond with his native land, Sicily, is very strong and his origins are sometimes almost touchable in the colors he chooses for the acetate, that seem to “perfume” of oranges, almonds, pistachio nuts …
Each of his collections tells us his passion for the craftsmanship, creating and spreading the taste for handmade things, according to the rules of the past.
