IRON AND METALS & LIGURIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP

"The fact that mankind did not die out during the period of chastity belts is mainly due to blacksmiths" (Pierre Lafargue).

IRON AND METALS & LIGURIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP

A glance at the toponymy reveals how metalworking in Liguria has ancient roots both inland and in the heart of its capital city: in Genoa's historic centre you will find Piazza Campetto, once Piazza dei Fabbri, and Via di Scurreria, from the term "scutoria" which indicated the shield forger. Today, the traditional working of wrought iron and other ornamental metals has obtained the certification of the regional brand "Artigiani In Liguria" (Artisans in Liguria) and has been enriched with new forms and aims that are increasingly closer to design.
