Made in Italy… for the world to learn

When you talk to an artisan, you embark on a journey into the world of the hands that created unique crafts and the culture that shaped these creations. Artisans are a precious treasure of knowledge, experience, creativity and generosity.

At Studiainitalia, we want to give them a voice and help protect their livelihood, especially in today’s hectic world where everything is one click away and few stop to think about what’s behind an object or a manual trade. That’s why we launched Creative Italy, a platform that bridges the gap between the “artigiani” and those who want to learn about their trade as a hobby or for their own profession.

Together with our partners at Italian Special Occasions, during the 2020 lockdown we filmed a series of interviews with artisans all around Italy. In this video, the founders Federica and Laura present the initiative called “Impara l’arte e mettila da parte” (literally learn art and set it aside).

Among our interviewees are Orazio Bisazza, the mind behind an ancient hamlet that is being brought back to life; Claudia Bizzarri, wine expert who shares insights on the art of winemaking; young artisan Francesco Scherma; Florentine shoemaker Daniele Ortolani; paper artist Francesca Vannini and glassmaker Mauro Vianello.Are you intrigued and eager to learn some insider information from expert artisans? You can watch all the video-interviews on the official website of Creative Italy
