Shh… It’s a Forgery! Master the Art of ‘Authentic’ Fakes

Dr. Alan Pascuzzi occupies a rare space in the art world. A professional artist with international commissions and an acclaimed art historian who has authored books on Michelangelo's techniques, he brings decades of experience studying both Renaissance masters and the methods of skilled forgers.

In this exclusive San Frediano workshop, Dr. Pascuzzi shares his unique perspective through a hands-on exploration of historical recreation techniques. Using an actual manual of forgery methods, you'll learn to:

• Artificially age paper through careful tinting

• Create a composite "pastiche" drawing inspired by Leonardo's works

• Add precisely calculated details that suggest historical authenticity

The result is your own "decorative fake" - crafted to appear believably aged while remaining, as Dr. Pascuzzi emphasizes, "an elegant souvenir rather than anything meant to deceive." (Though we'd hardly blame you for displaying it proudly!)
