Marco Rocco's atelier bench
Est. MMXVII
Milan, Italia
Open by appointment

Marco trained at Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana, apprenticed three years in Valenza, and opened the bench in 2017 with two crucibles and a single torch.

The atelier sits on the third floor of a building older than the unification of Italy. The window faces a courtyard where someone still keeps lemon trees. Every Rocco piece begins as wax carved at this bench — never a 3D file, never a print.

Gold is poured Tuesday mornings. Setting is Thursday. Friday is for polishing and the post. There is no catalogue beyond the current edition. There is no waitlist beyond what one pair of hands can do in a season.
