Our Story

October 13, 1976

I remember a time when I was younger.
My father was a man with many dreams; he was working on building a dam in Africa when he called us to go live there for a year.
We left everything behind, including our studies, and shortly thereafter I found myself in contact with a wilderness I did not know.
I remember being overwhelmed emotionally, a new sensitivity was born in me that inspired me and allowed me to do religious works for a local church gaining positive acclaim and discovering my true aspiration.

September 11, 1978

It was an important day for me when I decided to begin my art studies in Venice; I knew I wanted to study there.
This studio training was invaluable because it taught me to be critical of my work and to develop my own personal style.
I was able to delve into painting techniques and styles through the guidance and examples of my masters.

June 28, 1985

I have always been fascinated by the art of restoration, but I did not realize that this fascination would lead me to have my own business, working for public and private clients.
Later, I was also introduced to the ecclesiastical environment, which gave me an in-depth knowledge of fresco and ancient decoration, and I developed a certain mastery in restoring and creating from scratch.
It was from these types of interventions that I decided to embark on what has been my second path, interior decoration, which has allowed me to meet important architects and interior designers, always eager to learn about my work.

April 14, 1988.

It all started with a passion.
When I entered the world of ship modeling, I saw my work as an expression of my love for the sea and history,
I wanted to create models of ships that were faithful representations in their heyday, but also captured the spirit of the era. So I began collaborating with model makers to realize my visions.

I feel that the time has come to give a change, a new identity to my company.
My name is Ivan Ceschin and I am the founder of HISTORYA, a name that refers not only to a way to revive the past, but also to an opportunity to look to the future.
I am an artist and an entrepreneur with a dream: to introduce the world to the beauty of Italian art.
I believe this can only happen through a company that brings together the best artisans and artists to make something greater than what they create
This is possible because we have tools, knowledge and resources at our fingertips, techniques perfected over time, and a community of people who share our vision of building something more than just a product or an idea.
My father was an artist in iron forging, and from him I learned to involve my children in this activity as well, who are now committed to taking part in this adventure.
