Case Studies

The Homo Faber guide is an online platform launched by the Michelangelo Foundation, a network where craftsmanship/artisans and the public/visitors meet. This gives more visibility to all the different talents hidden around Europe in a direct and accessible way.

Indeed, Homo Faber allows visitors to discover, directly contact artisans, get to know their stories and working techniques as well as to virtually discover ateliers and European manufacturers. Additionally, it is possible to have a showcase of galleries, shops and museums as well as to participate in virtual master classes. The platform proposes some in person courses available in different spots all around Europe depending on the topic, prepared by master artisans. If visitors profit from the multitude of new cultural discoveries, for artisans the platform is a free place where they can easily showcase their work. Indeed, they can apply to be part of it and they are carefully selected by an assessment process based on the eleven criteria for excellence identified by Alberto Cavalli, Executive Director of the Michelangelo Foundation. This digital environment facilitates and speeds up the creation and sharing of new ideas and projects.
