Giusto Manetti Battiloro

There are very few things in the world that capture hears and imagination as gold. For thousands of years humans have been adorning their most important objects with the precious metal and art is no exception. Just outside the city of Florence, where the Renaissance was born, where DaVinci walked the streets is the home to some of the finest gold leaf in the world. Join me as we step into the workshop of Giusto Manetti Battiloro to see how raw gold ingot is transformed into feather-light sheets of gold leaf as we go Behind The Canvas.
