Fun Italian Weekends
Join us at StudioKT for the complimentary Buon Fine Settimana, a two-week Italian extravaganza curated by Federico and Betty, celebrating the rich elements of Italian daily life through their captivating symphony of art, friends and culture.
Federico, originally from Italy, relocated to Hong Kong in 2011. Enchanted by the city's vibrant life and warm culture, he expressed his passion for art through oil paintings, capturing the essence of the bustling streets, unique landscapes, and ever-changing skyline.
