The Banci sisters forge elements into their jewels that weld together sky and earth, and in particular the macrocosm of nature and the microcosm of man, bound together by philosophical references that precious materials make apparent.
Cristina Acidini
President of the Drawing Art Academy (Florence)
Every single Banci jewel bears the absolute value of the material, thus enhancing the artistry of goldsmiths, who become original creators and artists.
Ornella Casazza
Former Director of the Museo Tesoro dei Granduchi at Palazzo Pitti (Florence)
Experimentation and attention to detail are common traits of the Bancis who, however, have different styles. Daniela's works are markedly linear, almost minimal; Marzia's works distinguish themselves for their sensuous, joyous brightness.
Sarah Boglino
Exhibition project manager, Galleria Gracis, Milan
In my opinion, the most original and convincing characteristic of goldsmithing art as shown by the Banci sisters is precisely this, their creations can enhance the remarkably expressive potential released by the synergy of body and metal.
Umberto Curi
Emeritus professor of History of Philosophy, University of Padua
The Banci creations combine meticulous workmanship, specific competences, masterly jewellery-making techniques, in-depth knowledge of life and man and more generally, a view of the world that exceeds art and jewellery.
Gianpaolo Scarante
Ambassador, Professor for Graduate Studies at the Department of Political Science and Diplomacy at the University of Padua
Synthesis, courage, planning and experience are recurrent elements in the Banci sisters' art.
