Description

Anyone entering Bronzetto's artistic workshop for the first time is fascinated by the environment and the gleam of the brass. Incomplete chandeliers dance five meters above the ground, long brass bars fill the enormous shelves at the entrance, and buckets of brass powder, ready to be recycled, create the choreography of the tour. Guided by our manager Simone Calcinai, son of the founder, visitors can follow the fascinating path of craftsmanship, retracing the steps through which each product takes shape. The journey begins with the design and manual sketch, which is transformed into a digital version and then into a prototype that comes to life thanks to the use of traditional but also cutting-edge techniques, such as 3D printing. This exciting product development phase takes place in our technical office. Following the product's journey, the tour will take visitors to discover the different areas of the workshop: from the welding bench to the assembly bench, through the cleaning and polishing stages, appreciating the meticulous manual and mechanical work behind each of our products. Every step of the creation process contributes to bringing our brass works of art to life. For an additional fee, visitors can add a workshop to their tour, which will allow them to create a small item themselves: a personalized brass paperweight with a cast knob in a shape of their choice from among the many available. Under the supervision of our team, visitors will assemble the paperweight by attaching the knob of their choice and inserting the brass casting with a screw, thus completing their own handcrafted piece.
