Located in Milan, IT
Monumental Wrought Iron Magnolia Tree Sculpture by Zanoni - Unique Handcrafted Masterpiece
Description:
A breathtaking fusion of art, symbolism, and masterful Italian craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind monumental magnolia tree sculpture is a tribute to nature's enduring grace. Created by the celebrated Italian artist Zanoni, known for his exceptional work in wrought iron, this piece stands as a singular work of art-both sculptural and soulful.
Forged entirely by hand, each petal and leaf of the magnolia is shaped with remarkable detail, imbuing the iron with an organic softness that belies its strength. Towering in presence yet delicate in expression, this magnolia tree becomes not just a decorative element, but a powerful symbol in any space.
In the language of flowers, the magnolia represents candour, fidelity, purity, perseverance, and dignity-qualities beautifully embodied in this sculpture. Its timeless message, coupled with its commanding form, makes it ideal for grand interiors, gardens, cultural spaces, or luxury hospitality environments seeking a poetic and bold statement.

Symbolism: Magnolia - candour, fidelity, purity, perseverance, and dignity

Placement: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings

Despite its size, the work is easily transportable thanks to an ingenious system developed over decades by the artists. The branches can be dismantled and reassembled very easily (please see the video).
This piece is more than a sculpture-it's a living legacy in iron, carrying both the strength of the material and the poetry of nature. For collectors and admirers of extraordinary craftsmanship, the Zanoni Magnolia is a rare and meaningful acquisition.

Green and white lake landscape with canoe and forest watercolour painting
By Nicola Magrin
Located in Milan, IT
"North #04" is a beautiful impression of Nicola Magrin's travel to Alaska in 2019. The work was created by Nicola Magrin during a trip with Italian writer Paolo Cognetti on the trail of Chris McCandless. A film was born from their journey: "Sogni di Grande Nord" (Dreams of the Great North, 2021).
A passionate traveler, Nicola Magrin knows how to transfer his experiences and emotions onto paper, filtering them through his intimate world. Synthesis and immediacy are combined under the skillful control of the watercolour technique, in which he has achieved international fame.
Nicola Magrin was born in Milan in 1978. In 2004 he graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan with a thesis on Miquel Barceló.
In 2008 he was selected for a three-month Artist in Residence in New York (U.S.A.) at the Harlem Studio Fellowship by MontrasioArte.
Since then he has built a full and authentic artistic career, alongside significant contributions to literary illustration. Among them must be mentioned the covers for Paolo Cognetti's books: "Le otto montagne" (2016) and "Senza mai arrivare in cima" (2018); "Il silenzio" by Erling Kagge (2016), "Le antiche vie" by Robert Macfarlane (2013). He is also responsible for all the covers of the Tiziano Terzani books published by TEA and Primo Levi...

Sara Menon was born in 1985 in Palmanova and lives and works in Aquileia, in the province of Udine.
She specialized in the restoration of paintings and wooden sculptures in Mantua, a profession she still pursues today, while continuing to experiment with other art forms such as painting, sculpture and illustration.
Her passion and activity as a naturalistic and scientific illustrator began in 2002, when she collaborated with medical examiner Gianpiero Ceci, producing a series of anatomical-surgical plates to accompany her publications, mainly related to the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
In 2010, through the European Institute of Design in Milan, she had the opportunity to meet and get to know the illustrator Massimo Demma, who allowed her to refine the method and painting techniques used in scientific investigation and the rendering of natural data, as well as further knowledge in the field of naturalistic illustration. She had the opportunity to publish some naturalistic plates for the publishing house Il Prato...

Mighty oak on a gold-leaf background by Italian botanical artist
By Margherita Leoni
Located in Milan, IT
The artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible.
She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists.
The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls.
Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee.
Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood...

Original etching, signed and numbered. Limited edition of 90.
Federica Galli was one of Italy's leading contemporary etchers.
She achieved this fame because she was able to interpret views, as Milan and Venice, landscapes and architecture with a poetic and original eye.
Moreover she had the foresight to portray the beauty of the great Italian trees with a cycle of sixty different platemarks.
In 2021, Milan named a new street after her.
Her etchings are in prestigious museums in Europe and America, as well as in many private collections.
Her work is protected by a foundation with her name, based in Milan.
The etching was exhibited last year in the critical retrospective that the city of Milan promoted and set up to mark the tenth anniversary of her death. Milan's municipality has named a new street to her for the occasion.
The many international and accredited critics who have lingered to appreciate Galli's etchings remark on her ability to combine poetry, architectural precision and interpretative originality.
Federica Galli has always been able to take a fresh look at all the landscapes and architecture on which she has cast her gaze.
NMWA (National Museum of Women in Arts) in Washington conserved the complete Venezia portfolio. Also, her oeuvres are in significant Italian museum collections such as the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, (the same museum where Leonardo's Codex is conserved) and Museo of Castello Sforzesco, both in Milan; di Milano, Ala Ponzone in Cremona.
Federica Galli's Biography
Proudly present into Google art and Culture
A prominent figure in the art of engraving in Italy, Federica Galli was born in 1932 in Soresina - a village just outside Cremona- in the north of the country.
Straight after the war, in 1946, she convinced her parents to enrol her at the Artistic Lyceum in Milan. In 1950, she attended the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, from where she graduated four years later with a diploma in painting.
She began engraving in 1954 - "Il paese dell'Alberta"- experimenting with etching, a technique she never abandoned for the rest of her life. In 1966 she married the journalist Giovanni Raimondi – editor-in-chief of the Corriere della Sera. During that time she began to embark on a densely packed programme of cultural trips that took her to the most important European cities and to countries where the art of engraving is less deeply rooted. These were also the year in which she matured the conviction that engraving was the technique in which she expressed herself most effectively and started to apply herself exclusively to this art form, producing over eight hundred different subjects.
Starting from her early personal exhibitions – the first one took place in 1960 in Milan – she met with the favour of the public and critics alike. In the space of a few years, she could count on the support of some of the most authoritative critics of her time: Franco Russoli, Mario de Micheli, Giovanni Testori – who was to follow her closely until he died - Mina Gregori, Gian Alberto dell'Acqua, Roberto Tassi, Renzo Zorzi, Carlo Bo, Daniel Berger (Metropolitan Museum of New York), Gina Lagorio, Giuseppe and Francesco Frangi, Marco Fragonara, Giorgio Soavi and David Landau (Oxford University).
She obtained the most prestigious institutional acknowledgements given to any contemporary artist: she was the first living artist to be invited to exhibit at the Fondazione Cini in Venice - 1987 with a collection dedicated to the lagoon city - ; at the Civic Museum of Palazzo Te in Mantua - 1987 -; at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan - 1988 - ; in the Imperial Archive of the Forbid-den City, Wag Fung gallery, - 1995 -.
Collectors of her works include people of culture from Italy and elsewhere, individuals are known for their cultivated passion for the graphic arts, comprising – just to mention some of the most famous: Dino Buzzati...
