A course by Giorgio Gaetani
Giorgio Gaetani is an Italian calligrapher who grew up with a passion for letters and writing. As a trained engineer and classical musician, he finds the pilars for his study of the basic lines and shapes of copperplate in mathematics and geometry. While he was still a student, he made his Instagram account @bad_calligraphy where he began to share his creations with his followers.
In time, he started collaborative projects that led him to work with names like Max Mara and Tiffany&Co, as well as exhibit one of his pieces at Expo Calligrafia at the Grigore Antip museum in Bucharest. Giorgio is a left-handed calligrapher, a characteristic that has pushed him to find a signature style that makes his creations even more distinctive.
