Codognato jewelers has been a landmark in Venice for over a century. It remains a distinguished island in a city whose heart has tended to erode. In 1866 Simeone Codognato decided to open his shop in the very same spot where it stands today. More than a business venture, it was an act of faith. Simeone's son immediately understood the considerable interest of the jewels unearthed by contemporary archaeological digs in Etruria and this inspired him to create revolutionary new jewelry. Attilio Codognato, the current owner, closely follows creative evolutions and welcomes to his display windows everything that strikes his imagination. A man of impeccable taste, he is also a specialist in contemporary painting. Press requests please contact Ryan Urcia at [email protected].
