Homo Faber Event returns to Venice in 2022, from April 10th to May 1st, to unveil an unprecedented cultural experience of craftsmanship with 15 immersive exhibitions. For its second edition, the event looks to highlight the excellence of master craftsmanship internationally.
Beyond the walls of Fondazione Giorgio Cini, the Homo Faber in Città project allows visitors to experience secret Venice, exploring the craftsmanship hidden between the city’s canals through exclusive visits to Venetian artisans’ workshops and ateliers, museums, shops and more. Using the app or website, visitors will be able to create bespoke self-guided craft tours and experience the city in a completely new way.
We are waiting for you in our Studio for a visit or a workshop!
Fallani Venezia is an artisanal screen print studio working since 1968 in the heart of Venice.
It prints high-quality serigraphies, providing its own technical skills and its own sensibility, in order to interpret and transform into screen print artistic expressions of painters, sculptors, photographers, illustrators, street artists, graphic designers.
Gianpaolo Fallani that is (currently) running the Studio has inherited the passion for this technique from his father Fiorenzo, that has been collaborating with more than 200 artists from all over the world for whom he realized more than 1000 editions.
The Studio keeps on printing on commission, by proposing also workshops and residencies that invite the artists to know and experiment the versatility and the potential of this printing technique.
In 2018 Gianpaolo Fallani was awarded the recognition of MAM Master of Arts and Crafts.
Also in 2018 he participated in Doppia Firma (Double Signs) together with the designer Giampiero Bodino and Homo Faber, in the "Venetian Ways" and "Doppia Firma" sections.

Venezia 1600 by Lucio Schiavon
SPAZI
Six internationally renowned artists and illustrators have been invited to ideate and develop an original work, each according to their artistic technique and sensitivity, which explores the concept of SPACE. The six works will become six serigraphs that the artists, together with Gianpaolo Fallani, will create during the residency period. For a week they will participate in the process of production, processing, and printing of the graphics, confronting themselves with a technique widely used in the artistic field and still so artisanal and fascinating.
The screenprints, all 70x50 cm in size, will be printed on Fedrigoni Arena 300 grams paper, in a precious limited edition of 50 copies, signed and numbered by the artists.
Elenia Beretta, Martina Paukova, Michela Picchi, Ana Popescu, Beya Rebaï, Charlotte Trounce, the six selected artists, had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the theme of space, an intentionally expansive theme, which gave them great freedom of interpretation in the creation of their works. Space, which suddenly went missing a few months ago, during the weeks of lockdown, and that we had to learn how to recalibrate, to restrict, to transform, to experience differently.

Cronache da una città sommersa
On November 12, 2019, an exceptionally high tide - up to 187 cm - flooded the city of Venice. After this extraordinary event, locals just want to move forward and return to their ordinary activities.
Cronache da una città sommersa is a project created by some friends working to help the Fallani Venezia serigraphy, a historical studio that has been based in Venice for over fifty years. The aim is to support this small business and help them recover from the serious damages they’ve suffered. The flooding has damaged a lot of machinery and materials which, over the years, had allowed them to bring the works of numerous artists and illustrators who attended the printing house to life.
This project involves a first group of artists - both old and new acquaintances of the studio - each of whom designed an artwork related to the city of Venice. Bruno Bozzetto, Ale Giorgini, Riccardo Guasco, Franco Matticchio, Andy Rementer, Jacopo Rosati, Guido Scarabottolo, Lucio Schiavon and Olimpia Zagnoli have decided to donate one of their graphics to the serigraphy to allow Gianpaolo, deus ex machina of this craft laboratory, only to restart his business with new pressings, but also to replace the broken machinery.
Graphics can be pre-ordered by clicking on the image below. This is a signed and numbered, limited edition of 50 prints that can be bought either separately or as a collection.

Sounds Good by Riccardo Guasco
3 colors screen print made for Treviso Comic Book Festival for the exhibition Punt e a capo, Manifesti Sostenibili 100% Bio, at Museo Collezione Salce in Treviso.
We are very proud to was part of the amazing event Homo Faber in the section Doppia Firma and Venetian Way.
The first Cultural Event dedicated to the excellence of Art Crafts in Europe.
1+2=A is a creative game aiming at inspiring people of all ages, to tell a story about which only a scenery is given to start.
The game is made by 15 bifacial boards of different dimensions that the player can join together in various ways and without becoming aware that he/she is creating a small architecture: just by letting his/her creative juices flowing.
The scenery of this graphic suite is a “Chase” where police cars with their sirens wailing are chasing others vehicles, as if they were in a perpetuum story.
In fact, the chase reminds us of a Moebius strip where the characters are modules, traces and spots seen by different points of view.
Serigraphy and illustration seem to have been born one for the other.
The collection of posters TAKE CARE by Lucio Schiavon has found this technique in its maximum expression.
ARTE LAGUNA PRIZE
the winners of the artistic residence
This year the selection of artists has awarded a range of different styles and techniques of expression, focusing on the ones that seem to offer more stimuli and greater potential for experimentation with the screen printing technique.
In this perspective, the selection focused on more exquisitely graphic works such as those by Montaner, but also to "wanderings" aimed at creating a complex artistic confrontation and to "challenge" artists that are not intentionally or consciously vocated to screen printing.
It is not surprising therefore that the strongly photographic work of Van den Ouvendhoven was chosen, together with the materic painting of De Flers. The selection of El Khouri, aka Potato Nose, a Lebanese artist of marked and clear street extraction, is a real challenge, since he will have to translate his art into completely different languages and formats.
