Ars Aurea Bottega delle Arti is a unique space located in the vibrant heart of Trastevere, Rome, just a stone’s throw from the enchanting Botanical Garden. It’s not just a school, but a true art workshop where the millennial tradition of Italian craftsmanship comes alive, enriched by new forms of expression and cutting-edge teaching methods.
Mastery and Passion: Our Essence
Ars Aurea was founded by Gianluca Bagliani, a figurative sculptor who has dedicated his life to art with extensive teaching experience, and his friend and colleague Marco Montalti, an expert artisan and ceramist. United by a deep passion for transmitting manual arts, they created this space with the aim of preserving and renewing the precious techniques that have made Italian art great. Our reality is driven by the desire to pass down knowledge and skills, just like in the art workshops of the past.
An Immersive Journey into Art, Open to All
At Ars Aurea, learning is a real and true journey into “artistic creation.” Our courses, workshops, and experiences are open to anyone, regardless of their starting level. Whether you’re an experienced artist, a curious beginner, or simply eager to explore new manual skills, you’ll find a deeply immersive and stimulating environment. Here, practice is inextricably linked with the development of individual creativity, spatial perception, and critical thinking.
