Bottega Pneuma

The history of the Italian Bottega is steeped in tradition, craftsmanship, and community.

Originating in Medieval Italy, the Bottega, or workshop, served as the beating heart of Italian artisanal culture. These workshops were where skilled artists honed their craft, passed down techniques through generations, and created exquisite works of art.

During the Renaissance, Italian Bottegas reached their zenith, attracting the finest talents in fields such as sculpture, painting, and architecture. Masters like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Titian worked within these workshops, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation.

As Italy transitioned into the modern era, the Bottega evolved to adapt to changing times. While still rooted in tradition, contemporary Bottegas embrace technology and modern methods while preserving the essence of the art. Today, Italian Bottegas continue to thrive, producing everything from bespoke furniture to high-fashion garments, each piece bearing the mark of its creator's skill and passion.

At Bottega Pneuma, we are creating studios and community spaces to bring together contemporary talent in a classical style.
