Milena L'Annunziata is a fascinating example of how passion and creativity can intertwine in a unique career path. A graduate in architecture, she has always felt a strong call for manual work, which led her to integrate her design skills with metal craftsmanship. Her definition of herself as a designer who applies craft techniques to metalworking reflects a working philosophy that celebrates manual skills and innovation.
His atelier, located in an ancient hypogeum room in the Sasso Barisano, is not only a place of creation, but also a piece of Matera's history. Restored and transformed into a work space, it represents the marriage of tradition and modernity. After completing his studies, his return to Matera marked a new phase in his professional life, in which drawing and design gave way to direct metalworking.
Taking up the hammer and recovering her father's tools, Milena has given life to a new way of expressing her creativity. Each piece she makes tells a story of passion, recovery and innovation, transforming metal into practical and evocative works of art. Her work is not only a reflection of her technical skills, but also a continuation of the local craft culture, reworked through a contemporary lens.
