Video and images of the ancient, modern Bottega del Rame

The present and the history of an old artisan who is fond of the ancient art of working metals.

Cesare Mazzetti, proudly but with a bit of melancholy reveals us the secrets of copper processing. He also deals with the quality of his artefacts, dispelling myths, legends and clichés about the use of copper in cooking.

Cesare is one of the last artisans of this sector. The introduction of industrial production has suffocated this handcrafted production.
Nevertheless, Cesare Mazzetti and his associates have been able to innovate the production. Through a long-lasting and expensive research, they have been able to create products which do not fear comparison.
Unique pieces? Not always. But, all the pieces are produced "the old way" using any modern tool capable not to come into conflict with those unwritten rules that permit the artisan to express his creativity and art.
