CIRO BATTAGLIA

Art History Professor at several art institutes in Campania, Battaglia is both a passionate and a great engraver of cameos and coral. His style, which can be defined as classical, undergoes and reworks the artistic influences of the Renaissance and Neoclassicism, as demonstrated by his particular attention to symbolism and allegory.

PACIFIC CORAL: “CORALLIUM ELATIUS”

According to the legend, the coral was born from the blood of the beheaded Medusa, that coloured and petrified the seaweeds upon which Perseo had laid/ placed her head, turning them into coral. However, the science has another explanation: the coral is the calcareous secretion produced by little octopus communities, with support and protection function. These secretions, blending together, result in colonies.
In jewellery, the most appreciated corals, both for their value and beauty, are those from the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
The coral coming from the Pacific Ocean can be divided into three subcategories: Corallium Elatius, Secundum and Japonicum.
Elatius coral stands out for the size of its branches. It occurs in different shades of colour: from Momo in salmon and peach colour, up to the rarest Angel skin, in light pink. The coral in angel skin, due to the rarity and uniformity of its colour, is the finest and most valued among the coral varieties.

OBSIDIAN

Obsidian is a magmatic rock created by the lava which, cooling rapidly, produces a natural glass. It is named after the roman explorer Obsius who, according to Pliny the Elder, was the first one to discover it. In ancient times it was frequently used for the production of sharp tools, whose trade was mainly widespread in the Mediterranean, thanks to the rich presence of obsidian deposits in Sicily and Sardinia.
