ur web site has become the mean to introduce the extensive and multifaceted work we have created at our studio. It is presented with photographs and detailed information to better inform our visitors and respond any questions with our unique SWIFT ~ STUDIO e-Mails.

Giovanni who is formerly from Pavia, Italy, has been an award winning artist and craftsman since the early 1960's. He has worked with both private clients and large firms throughout his long creative career. Some of the clients include the United States government, local municipalities, hotel chains, architects and designers.

In this age of mass production and inferior workmanship, Giovanni has found that there are still those who appreciate quality and enjoy expressing their own good taste through the custom work in the manner of the Old World Craftsman. Whether it be the restoration of your favorite heirloom or designing personalized hand painted tiles for the swimming pool, at his studio you will always receive the personal attention to the satisfaction of both the client and the artist.

A number of new sections have been added during the last recent months. There has also been many retail requests to purchase the sample items we had created at our studio.
