italian handicrafts

Italy is famous for its fashion, style and design, but the history and ancient traditions of Italian handmade goods made it all happen and can still be discovered.

Our pages are a quick reference point for ideas, contacts and even artisan courses across Italy.

OUR CHOICE Walks Inside Italy is an association of professional and official Italy guides to the big three art cities of Rome, Florence and Venice.

For example, why not consider a trip to the Papal bell foundry in deepest Molise in Agnone, or take the vaporetto to Murano and Burano near Venice, the handicraft destination par excellence in Italy.

Umbria too has its hidden gems such as Deruta ceramics so to speak and Abruzzo has a strong tradition of gold, lace and coral working.
