Baglietto's signature luxury talent garden opens its doors during the Cannes YF

Offcina Baglietto, the talent garden for young creative designers launched by the iconic brand last April in Portofino to celebrate the shipyard's 170th anniversary, opened the registrations in June for the four training courses, dedicated to fashion, jewelry, furniture, and, of course, boating.

Four programs in contiguous and complementary worlds to boating will include the collaboration with illustrious protagonists of the field: the fashion area was born from the collaboration with Tiziana Fausti and 10 Corso Como; the product design sector is under Nicolas Bewick, Architecture Art Director at the renowned studio AMDL Circle, the jewelry with Rosa Maria Villani -  coordinator and in charge of the School of the Art and of the Medal for the Polygraphic Institute and State Mint  - , while the boating area involves Francesco Paszkowski, for over thirty years the reference designer of Baglietto shipyards.
