The art of the stonemason

Craftsmanship is an important resource for our territory

Our territory boasts millenary traditions but unfortunately we are selling our villages emptying, craftsmanship represents an important resource for investing hand in hand with digital. and to help younger people rediscover the ancient crafts of the past, today thanks to online it is possible to make their creations known even outside our territory.

Stonemasons, basket makers, shoemakers, carpenters, sculptors and ceramists are just some of the ancient artisan professions that were present in Morano Calabro and throughout the territory of the Pollino National Park , the largest protected green area in Italy, an uncontaminated territory rich in history and culture where people lived mainly from agriculture and sheep-rearing.

Craftsmanship played a fundamental role because indispensable tools were created which could not be done without, for example , wooden sticks were useful to the shepherds for grazing animals , the fuscelle they did from containers for the cheese , a whole series of kitchen utensils were created by hand in copper, wood and stone , just like the mortar , for example our grandmothers used to crush salt in blocks , with clay they were created plates and other utensils , not to mention the importance of shoemakers.

With globalization and the advent of plastic these ancient artisan crafts are gradually disappearing , our goal is to create value for these noble arts and thus enhance them
