Feature
Italy :
Saved from extinction by wealthy American and Japanese tourists, the traditional craftsmen of Venice are still alive and working hard. Men like Mario Bevilacqua who makes the most expensive cloth you could hope to find: his factory is still using the same methods as it was in the nineteenth century. Stefano Nicolao, makes costumes for the opera la Fenice and the carnival. The ladies of the little island of Burano make lace, as they have done for centuries. Valese, the blacksmith, works in the temple of dust, in the ghetto area of the city. His neighbour is Orsini the king of mosaics, whose father worked for Gaudi in Barcelona. The last bookbinder in the city has just left his shop to his young son, who often works with Polieri, making his own paper. Based on the island of Murano, well known for its glass blowing, Carlo Moretti has had some of his work exhibited in the MOMA in New York. And if you are lucky, as you are just wandering around the city you might see Tramontin burning dry weeds on his gondola to harden the wood. Ancient crafts and traditions that manage to stay alive in this extraodinary city.
