This book is the product of a journey made by John Ferro Sims, an Italian-speaking author and photographer, who travelled the length and breadth of Italy visiting a wide range of artisans in their workshops. From legendary glass makers on Murano to Sicilian and Sardinian ceramicists and from traditional silk weavers in Florence to metalworkers in Molise and Abruzzo - skilled artisans from all over Italy are making objects of beauty that are practical as well as desirable.
