The history of the Artintaglio workshop began with extraordinary Giovannimaria Solinas, Mastru Mimmiu, and is an excellent example of the peculiar three-generation evolution of the precious intaglio and woodworking expertise. The Master craftsman was extraordinarily skilled, participated with his work in major exhibitions in Florence and Milan in 1925, where he was awarded the first prize and the gold medal. Mario Renzo, Mastru Mimmiu's son, at 14 years of age started his apprenticeship at his father's workshop, where he learnt the art of woodworking, but he also understood the great potential of his family's skills, creating new products and finding new market shares, lending his artistic creativity to the company.  Giovannimaria's son received the name and the skills of his grandfather, just like Maria, Mastru Mimmiu's granddaughter, who is a skilled carver and, as a child, attended the family workshop. At the age of fourteen, she decided to focus on intaglio, reaching artistic results of rare perfection and beauty.  His collaboration with sculptor Angelo Beccu is also very important to develop projects of particular value and complexity. The restoration of the wooden artefacts found at the Apollo's rooms, at world-renown Teatro La Fenice in Venice, earned him an extraordinary success in 2003, consolidating his fame around the world a Sardinian artisan of extraordinary skills. His collaboration with Rome-based architect Lopez resulted in the development of international projects in Paris and in the UAE.
