Happy May 1st, everyone!
Today, I have some wonderful news to share:
Roberta Risolo Art Jewels from Otranto to Expo 2025 Osaka.
It is with immense joy and excitement that I am pleased to announce that I have been selected to exhibit my work in the:
Italian Pavilion - Expo 2025 Osaka
Exhibition Niche Route
May 11-17, 2025
together with 5 other excellent entities, representing traditional Apulian artistic craftsmanship.
The exhibition held at the Italian Pavilion is an initiative to promote and disseminate information about Puglia through the national theme:
"Art Regenerates Life."
My heartfelt thanks to the Puglia Region for this wonderful opportunity.

On display there will be my necklace Maria D'Enghien
Made of rhodium-plated brass, white pearls, peridots, rutilated quartz and Lecce stone.
This theatrical necklace is inspired by the rose window of the Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Galatina, as a tribute to Countess Maria d'Enghien.
The colors used for the decoration of the necklace, such as the white of the pearls and the green of the peridots, refer to the colors of the dress in which the beloved Countess of Lecce and later Queen of the Kingdom of Naples in Taranto is portrayed in a fresco.
