Passion and availability

Countryside in the foothills of the Cuneo mountains, a small church at the top of the hill, and the old parish house that has gradually become a craft workshop where keys for antique safes and handmade, handcrafted knives are born, it is measured.

The story of this workshop began in the early 1970s when my father began to shape iron with his incredible hands shaping metals at the forge, imprinting on them the shape of his ideas with a unique naturalness. Thus were born his works in iron, copper, silver and gold forged in coal. I officially enter the workshop in the early 2000s, learning the techniques from him, adapting them to my personality and exploiting them to give life to antique blades and keys, two objects that in different aspects both have a fascination that comes from far back in time. I add elements of modernity to a purely manual workmanship, seeking, in the combination of the two aspects, a space of sustainability for a work that otherwise would have no chance to exist as such.
