From ancient times to the present day, the desire to create immortal buildings has never ceased to guide the choices of architects. The success that the millennial art of gilding continues to have today is therefore not surprising, confirming itself as one of the longest-running trends in architectural design at an international level.
A privileged field of application of the decoration of buildings with gold leaf is undoubtedly sacred architecture, due to the great symbolic significance of gold, consistently linked to an idea of supernatural transcendence. Worth highlighting, among the most significant achievements made with Manetti gold leaf in this sector is the dome of the magnificent Bahai Temple that dominates the ancient city of Haifa, in Israel, the monumental golden pinnacles of the Mormon Temple in Washington and the Holy Trinity Chapel in Auckland.
Competing with churches for magnificence are the golden architectures of prestigious libraries such as the Brooklyn Public Library in New York, private skyscrapers such as the Wafi Tower in Dubai, luxurious and scenic buildings like the Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City and iconic museums, like the museum designed by famous architect Rem Kohlas for the Prada Foundation in Milan, all made with Manetti gold leaf.
