Franco Zedda stands out in the regional scenario thanks to his skilful craftsmanship and expertise as a goldsmith, which he expresses in his filigree processing technique according to the style of the most sophisticated Sardinian goldsmith tradition. His mastery is evident in the successful realisation of the most complex jewellery of the rich goldsmith repertoire of the island, which requires skill, knowledge and experience, in an enchanting production characterised by the utmost care down to the smallest detail. Franco started his training as an artistic founder at the school of the sculptor Franco D’Aspro; later, he approached filigree goldsmith crafting with the renowned filigree master Gianpaolo Arrais in Cagliari. In 1990 he set up his own goldsmith’s workshop in the historic centre of Iglesias, highly appreciated and sought after by a clientele sensitive to the quality of exclusive artefacts achieved through novel filigree crafting techniques. Franco is strongly motivated and enthusiastic about his profession, he actively integrates into the territory by holding goldsmith’s courses for young students organised by his municipality in collaboration with the School of Art and by intervening at international events and demonstrations which lead to exclusive exchanges and collaborations. Noteworthy is his collaboration with the designers Setsu and Shino bu Ito within the project for the XIX Biennial event of Sardinian Handicrafts, which in 2011 won the prestigious Compasso D’Oro award.
