REPEATED EMOTIONS.
Fascinated, enraptured by beauty.
At only twelve years old, Giancarlo Comelato felt like this.
He was making his first steps in life and he had already entered into the world of art, having the fortuneand the honour to be a shop-boy in the most prestigious shop in Venice. It was 1956.
Apassion which he still has, after more than half a century of continuous and inspired activity.
Today Alberto and Giovanni are following the old know-how, keeping alight the sacred flame of an Artwhich is recognized all over the world and which acquires prestige and value as the years go by.
Two artists profoundly respectful of the ancient techniques of sculpturing, gifted with a natural talentworthy descendent of the Founders of the Workshop.

UNIQUE PIECES, ACCORDING TO DESIGN.
At the Workshop Dall'Era you will find the typical capacity of old-time art shops to transform yourrequirements into splendid works of art.
From dialogues withAlberto and Giovanni all the particulars of the piece you wish to have created willemerge.
Colours, forms, materials, but most of all…the emotions you wish to be transmitted by the work.
An outline will emerge, shared with you and then time and inspired workmanship will do the rest.
You will receive a unique and unrepeatable piece, which will distinguish the places of your living.
Which will speak of you and of your sensibility. Of your choices.
