Bottega Veneta deepens its commitment to artisanal craft with the launch of Accademia Labor et Ingenium, a new school to foster the next generation of artisanal talent. The name derives from the brand’s founding values, as seen in its original company crest: Labor et Ingenium, “Craft and Creativity”.
Accademia Labor et Ingenium serves as a permanent workshop, where Bottega Veneta new hires and external students can learn from master artisans through training activities, workshops, and courses. The classes are led by a community of Bottega Veneta master artisans and champion the collective ethos that has defined the company since its foundation in 1966.
In addition, they will provide upskilling and reskilling curricula for existing Bottega Veneta employees to promote the creativity and dynamism of the Veneto region and impart the Made in Italy heritage.
