Heiress to the Goldsmithing tradition of her native province, Claudia Ottaviani received her Maestro d’Arte diploma in 1980 in Pesaro. In 1982 she specialised in the art of metals and modern Goldsmithing, her skills for research and innovation in the field of art jewellery became immediately clear.

In 1990/91 she participated in the "X and XI International Exhibit of Artistic Handicraft" held in the striking setting of the Ducal Palace in Urbino.

 

In 1993 and 1994 her collection was shown in a Personal Exhibit in Spoleto during the "Festival dei Due Mondi".

 

In 1994 she presented "Ornitorinco" at the Ducal Palace of Pesaro: an art review and a fusion of four materials: gold, bronze, cinnabar and carmine. Also in 1994, she was commissioned by Dario Fo to create the jewellery for the Rossini opera "An Italian in Algiers" performed in the course of the Rossini Opera Festival.

 

1995 she was personally invited by Cleto Munari and David Palterer to participate in the national Goldsmithing contest "Sanvalentinoro", which she won for having succeeded in creating "... an object of particular artistic value marked by innovative shapes and materials". In that same year she began working with the eclectic designer Lorenzo Gennari, and together they presented a new collection at the Milan Furniture Exibition, top show for designers of international level.

The have also exhibited together at the following events:
