The auction was held on December 7th and during the appointment an important collection of old paintings from the 16th-17th century, furnitures items, ceramics and an prestigious private collection of silver made by Enea and Alessandro Stefani, famous Bolognese goldsmith-silversmith masters who between 1922 and 1985 managed the “Stefani Maestri Goldsmith-Silversmith” business in the space of via Clavature, 7 in Bologna. The Stefanis were two generations of craftsmen who knew how to treat gold and silver as art, albeit in a different way, they write about them:

“The stylistic and technical continuity of the two schools shines through, the modern but clearly “classical” one of Alessandro and the stupendously “ancient” one of Enea.”
