"HANDMADE IN ITALY is a celebration of the designs, materials and methods used by contemporary Italian artisans, whether individually or within small family concerns. Despite the ever increasing trend towards speed and mass production, these artisans continue to make beautiful, original pieces. This book is the product of a journey made by John Ferro Sims, an Italian-speaking author and photographer, who travelled the length and breadth of Italy visiting a wide range of artisans in their workshops. From legendary glass makers on Murano to Sicilian and Sardinian ceramicists and from traditional silk weavers in Florence to metalworkers in Molise and Abruzzo - skilled artisans from all over Italy are making objects of beauty that are practical as well as desirable. He talked with them about their personal and family histories, their craftsmanship and their passion and dedication to their work." .
