Constanza Pascolato
"Bruno Latini's jewelery, with which I was enchanted, is that of an architect. But the inspiration is that of a sculptor. Some of his jewels are micro panoramas, with their stories with rhythm and poetry. Just as architecture is a inhabited sculpture, Bruno Latini's jewels inhabit the body and heart of those who wear them. "
Constanza Pascolato
"Meeting Constanza Pascolato in person was something I can never forget. Our meeting started in a simple way: in a past edition of Fashion Rio, a press officer who worked with me took my portfolio to Constanza. However, she ended up looking only at the first leaf and went out to do something - which made me very distressed.
After a while, I went to a store opening where she signed a collection of clothes. As expected, she was also at the opening.
I was accompanied by my wife Gabi Latini, who wore the Earring Africa and the Multifaces Ring. Constanza, when talking to my wife, very politely, asked who had produced the pieces that Gabi was wearing at the time. When she informed me that it was me, she said she already knew my job well enough.
Soon after, a friend of my wife arrived at the same time that Constanza was talking to Gabi and, when asked by Constanza about who had produced the earrings she wore, that friend mentioned my name. Without blinking, Constanza said: "I want to go to your store now!" So, we were my wife, she and I walking to a store that I still have in the Icaraí region.
The instant she saw the store, she sat down and started to see it piece by piece. I began to realize the variety of my creation that has elements that go from the most humorous, very minimalist to contemporary, abstract work. She told me, “They have a soul. I can recognize your identity in each part. ”
Constanza watched everything with her lynx eyes and at one point seeing all the pieces, she filled her eyes with tears and I realized that she had remembered personal memories; a necklace of lazarus pencils, a carbon blue stone, reminded her of her father. She turned and said, “My son, I know the whole world. I am a personal friend of the Cartier family. I've never seen as much soul and diversity as I see in your work. ”
I got dizzy and didn't know where to stick my head. I admire you deeply and take your observations with me as if it were a personal consecration.
She spent three hours inside the store completely forgetting that it should be at its opening. She took four pieces and, resisting, accepted two pieces - which had the greatest affective memory. They were a Happiness Necklace with Lazuli Pencil and a Skull Ring. I can say with certainty that we discovered an affinity between us, our Italian blood spoke louder. "
