The jury\u2019s motivation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The jury, chaired by actor and director Alessandro Preziosi and also comprising institutional representatives, awarded Valcucine the Leonardo da Vinci Special Mention with the following motivation:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cA powerful narrative built around simple, universal messages, such as the emotional connection we develop with objects, portraying Italian design as a continuous exploration in which aesthetics, technological innovation and design vision come together harmoniously. A testament to how creativity, quality and sustainability can become authentic ambassadors of Italian excellence around the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

L\u2019Intelligenza del fare<\/em>: the value of people and expertise<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Directed by filmmaker Laura Sans Gass\u00f2<\/a> and narrated by Gabriele Centazzo, the company\u2019s founder and designer, L\u2019Intelligenza del fare<\/em> features several artisans and partners who collaborate with Valcucine: Del Savio 1910<\/a>, R.P.G. Intagli, Carraro Chabarik<\/a>, Societ\u00e0 Vetraria Biancadese and DMM<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Through their gestures, skills and craftsmanship, the film explores the relationship between design intelligence and hands-on expertise, revealing how collaboration between the company and its artisans, combined with research and innovation, can give rise to unique, customised solutions while expressing the value of Italian craftsmanship and know-how.<\/p>\n

The documentary is part of a broader journey that, in 2026, also found expression in Crafting Forward<\/em>, the theme through which Valcucine explored the dialogue between industrial innovation and contemporary craftsmanship during Milan Design Week, through installations, collaborations and dedicated content.<\/p>\n

With L\u2019Intelligenza del fare<\/em>, Valcucine sought to give a voice not only to its values, but also to the people and expertise that bring them to life every day. The film thus becomes a way of sharing the company\u2019s design culture and the wealth of knowledge developed through collaboration with its partners, revealing the work and passion behind every creation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Promoted by SIMEST,<\/strong> a company belonging to the Cassa Depositi<\/a> e Prestiti Group, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the initiative celebrates Italian entrepreneurial stories, highlighting companies\u2019 capacity for innovation, their internationalisation journeys and their contribution to the economic, social and environmental development of supply chains and local communities.<\/p>\n

The awards ceremony was attended, among others, by Giovanni Gorno Tempini, Chairman of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, and Vittorio de Pedys, Chairman of SIMEST.<\/p>\n
