Italy has long been revered for its art and beauty - the country is stepped in cultural heritage and boasts some of the world's most skilled artisans that have honed their craft for centuries. Ceramists, sculptors, goldsmiths and art restorers can be found throughout Italy, dutifully carrying forward ancient traditions in their workshops, though they’re usually hidden away from public view.
With Italian Stories, that has all changed. The innovative platform allows curious travelers to go behind-the-scenes of Italy’s leading artisanal studios and learn secrets of the trade from the masters themselves. You can design a bridal veil with a lacemaker in Florence, build your own wooden longboard with a carpenter in Bologna or create your own hat with a milliner in La Spezia.
