But how is it achieved?

We make our graduation wreaths entirely by hand. The first step is to select the laurel leaves of the most homogeneous and shiny colour, which are then assembled using the "inferrettamento" technique. This technique gives the product a thick, natural and regular effect. The wreaths can be enriched with ribbons and flowers in the colour of the Faculty.

Are you the future doctor or do you want to give a gift to a special person?

To do a good job, we only need to know the circumference of the head (the measurement in cm as if you were choosing a hat), the haircut and the colour representing the faculty. If you want to make the crown even richer, you can also choose to apply flowers, berries and ribbons.

The laurel wreath in history

The triumphal crown (in Latin: corona triumphalis, also called laurel wreath (in Latin: laurea insignis), in Greek Mythology symbolised Wisdom and Glory. A laurel wreath encircled the forehead of the victors in the Pythian or Delphic Games and was the highest honour for a poet who became a Poet Laureate. The crown was also used as an honour of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire awarded to a triumphant General.

In Latin, the laurel wreath was called laurus or laurĕa, which also indicated the laurel plant and, by extension, victory. From the word laurĕa comes the modern meaning of degree and the 'laureate' is precisely the one who wears the laurel wreath, like the learned and the poets.

The laurel wreath became an attribute of emperors in the imperial age. The triumphal wreath was also a typical attribute of the goddess Victoria, who is often depicted holding or offering a laurel wreath.

In the Middle Ages the laurel wreath was also used as a symbol of triumph in poetry and was used to crown great poets (the depiction of Dante Alighieri with his head encircled by laurel is common): we speak then of a poetic laurel.
