Looking for handicraft, when you visit a place or a country, means to look for the roots of local people, to go back to their origin, to their traditions, to their culture: in other words to discover their souls. In each manufactured article, though filtrated by personal interpretations, there is the taste, the sensibility, the history and the culture of local population. Not only typical products are linked to the territory: also handicraft is. In fact people have always materialized their emotions and memories into objects. Nowadays the lack of handing down oral traditions is made up by objects and handicraft. Craftsmen' gold hands, whose our peninsula is still rich, express such an heritage of experiences, of traditions, of history that new technologies cannot destroy.
