A world-renown master of fine calligraphy, as they say “beautiful calligraphy, recently joined the International exhibition of calligraphy.
Barbara Calzolari was born in Bologna, Italy, in a family where art and love of the beautiful reigned supreme. Barbara’s father created elegant pieces of furniture art, and the whole Italy loved her mother’s haute cuisine.
After graduating the ENALC school of commercial art Barbara was offered a nice chance to work in the fashion world. Her letter-laces were for a long time a zest of Daniele di Montezemolo and Ferrante Gonzaga collections. Gaining her popularity Barbara met Pat Blair — the current calligrapher for the White House. After such a pivotal moment in her life Barbara decided to completely and entirely devoted herself to a mysterious world of calligraphy.
Barbara’s name is on everyone’s lips, she teaches at the prestigious IAMPETH School in Nashville… gives live performance for the famous political leaders, and writes and decorates a special book for Pope Benedictus XVI. Great success!
But consider this just a beginning, because recently Barbara became the official calligrapher of the G8 summit in Aquila. What a glory! She was the one who were writing and illuminating the Russian national anthem for President Medvedev. The main text for this high present was written by our participant Evgeny Drobyazin.
