A Path to Floral Mastery: The journey of Rudy Casati to the World Cup Floral Art 2025
The Italian florist Rudy Casati on creativity, childhood memories and the power of authenticity
In the latest episode of A Path to Floral Mastery we meet Rudy Casati, the Italian florist who will represent Italy at the World Cup Floral Art in 2025, organized by Florint. With an open and reflective view, he shares stories about his childhood, his passion for floral design, and what creativity means to him.
Childhood memories among the greenhouses
For Rudy, glasshouses and greenhouses are more than just workspaces – they are a vivid reminder of his youth. He grew up with a love for growing plants, a passion passed down to him by his father. “It’s something only a grower can deeply understand,” he explains. “It feels like having thousands of children, each one needing care.” This bond forms the foundation of his work and vision on floral art.
Creativity as expression
When students ask him what creativity is, Rudy answers that it can be found everywhere. For him, creativity is something you feel inside and want to express outwardly – a way to show yourself. His work breathes simplicity, but never superficiality a motto he always keeps in mind.
Choosing to compete
Although he sometimes considers himself ‘a little more mature’ to compete again, Rudy does not let that stop him. “Is there a right age to do something? No. Am I afraid? Also not. So why shouldn’t I do it?” he says with determination. For him, competing is not only about the contest, but also a way to stay young and true to himself.
“Maybe I won’t win,” he admits, “but I want above all to show who I am. Simple, but never superficial.”
