##Handmade in Italy Nestled in the arresting Adige River Valley is the medieval city of Trento, renowned as a cultural and political hub in Northern Italy. It’s a unique place with a time honoured commitment to craftsmanship and an eye to the future, where culture and craft mix with new ideas. Andrea opened his copper workshop at the age of sixteen with over three generations of metalwork to his family name. He’s committed to preserving the traditional skills passed down in his family, working his beautiful pieces entirely by hand to make sure each is just right. Andrea has made sure that his children and grandchildren understand the nuances and subtleties of metalwork just as intuitively, working alongside them so that his time honoured craft is preserved well into the future.

##For over 9,000 years, copper has been mankind’s go-to material for cookware. It’s recognised by master chefs as the best, ensuring meals are cooked evenly and slowly. Copper is highly resistant to corrosion, conducting heat five times better than iron and 20 times better than stainless steel, with naturally antibacterial properties. In short; an all rounder, and a kitchen must have.

##Hand-hammered by artisans committed to perfection in each piece, cooking with copper is an experience like no other.

There’s just no comparing hand-made copper to the mass manufactured alternative. A true artisan with a discerning touch ensures that the metal is worked to perfection and melded together securely to last for years to come.
