Pomellato launches limited edition rings to mark restoration project in Venice
PUT A RING ON IT: Pomellato renewed his vows of love to the city of Venice by funding the restoration of the Ambo Epistle Pulpit at the famous St. Mark's Basilica. To carry out this project, the jewelry house owned by Kering has partnered with the international non-profit organization Venetian Heritage, whose mission is to preserve and safeguard the artistic heritage of the city.
>Pomellato Group Managing Director Sabina Belli described the initiative as "an important project for Venice which makes me immensely proud, and testifies, once again, to Pomellato's emphasis on the conservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of this wonderful city.”
Related GalleriesTo mark the initiative, Pomellato has also developed a capsule collection of its Iconica ring paying homage to the city art references with a nod to the church's iconic mosaics and their colors.
A sketch of Pomellato's Iconica Venezia rings.Crafted in rose gold, the ring style comes in two versions, one with red porphyry and garnet and the other with green porphyry and green tourmaline. Available in limited edition, Iconica Venezia rings are now sold exclusively at the Pomellato boutique in Venice.
The Epistle of Ambo is a key part of the city's legendary basilica, as it once indicated where doge - the title given to Italian city heads of state during the medieval and Renaissance periods - used to address Venetians and attend church services.
In red porphyry, a stone which according to Byzantine tradition was reserved for emperors, the structure was already in a precarious state when the exceptional floods that hit Venice in 2019 further damaged the floor of the Basilica and weakened the ground under the pulpit.
Starting in March 2022, restoration work on the Epistle of Ambo will be completed by here the end of the year.
