AD ARTE, The First Observatory
on Italian Artistic Handicraft, is a no-profit
cultural association, founded in 2000
by Ugo La Pietra (President) with
Fatto ad Arte Gallery.

The aim of AD ARTE is to know, to give
sense and purpose - through researches
and cultural events - to the disciplin
of Artistic Handicraft that, from the closing
of Monza Biennal Exhibition of Applied Art
in the Thirties', doesn't have an official
manifestation in Italy.
