Decorative Arts: Local Artistic Craftsmanship

Arte Decorativa is a workshop specializing in local artistic craftsmanship in calcarenite. Artisan Maristella Darretta handcrafts the typical soft stone of Matera to create objects, jewelry, and miniature sculptures that reinterpret the history of the rock civilization. Each piece is born from the encounter between traditional rock carving and a contemporary decorative sensibility, transforming fragments of local stone into furnishing accessories and unique details rich in Lucanian identity.
