“There is nothing minimalist about our creations in terms of shape or color. There is, however, a true sense of love for the “old” idea of decoration, a concept of ornamentation that brings a certain sparkle to the wearer”.

Diego Percossi Papi was born in Rome in 1946.

The interest in the past and the fascination of technique and color will lead him to explore, as a self-taught, the activity of artist-sculptor-goldsmith.

In 1968 he opened a small atelier in Rome, near the Pantheon, and from the very beginning he started a unique, unmistakable and completely personal style; as personal as his specimens created 'ad personam', whose limited production increases their charm.

Although the materials used in his creations are often various, the technique is instead singular and irrefutable, that of cloisonné: an ancient decoration technique Egyptian and Byzantine.

Percossi Papi looks to the past although his audience is contemporary; she also designs and produces jewels for films by directors of the caliber of Wertmuller, Taviani, Monicelli, Olmi and for actresses such as Sophia Loren, Jacqueline Bisset, Isabelle Huppert, Cate Blanchet, some of whom have won international awards for costumes.
