Artigiano del Cuore 2018

The craftsman plays a very important role in the Italian culture and economy. Being an artisan means making sacrifices, training for a job for many years, pursuing beauty relentlessly, living closely with the local community. In recent times this figure has received little regard, with the result that new generations are mostly unaware of these high-value professions and ignore the opportunities that they offer. The risk is the disappearance of a priceless national heritage.

 

“Artigiano del Cuore” means “my favourite artisan”, it is a contest launched to promote Italian arts and crafts, to acknowledge the value of extraordinary masters and to make the web audience aware of the magnificent world of the métiers d’art.
The mosaicist Fabrizio Travisanutto and the shoemakers Sandro Barbera&Sons are the winners of the first edition 2018, respectively in the category “Furnishing and Decorating” and “Clothing and Ornaments”. Selected by merit for the finale, they have won thanks to the support of their local community, who voted for them during the contest.

As an award, Brevimano srl has realized for them these short documentaries. Behind a camera, they had the possibility to tell their daily life – inside and outside the workshop -, the passion for their job, the love for their city.
