Pomellato has announced the creation of a new capsule collection of Iconica rings that pay tribute to Venice’s legacy, in celebration of the restoration of St. Mark’s Basilica that is being carried out by Venetian Heritage.
The ambo is made of red porphyry, a stone that according to Byzantine tradition was reserved for emperors. Second only to the main altar, the ambo is a particularly important structure within the building that until 1797 was the ancient Doge’s Chapel. It was from this ambo that the Doge addressed the Venetians and attended services at the Basilica.
Sabina Belli, CEO of Pomellato Group, said: “The restoration of the Epistle Ambo at St. Mark’s Basilica is a significant project for Venice that makes me immensely proud, and is testament, once again, to Pomellato’s focus on the conservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of this wonderful city.
“Pomellato and Venetian Heritage share not only a love of art, but also a commitment to safeguarding artisanal excellence, essential for the continued preservation of the genius and authenticity of Made in Italy.”
