FORNACI DE MARTINO

In Rufoli (Sa) the history of the furnaces is intertwined with that of the city. Yet today the only furnaces still active are the brothers Luigi, Thomas, Antonio and Carlo De Martino. The De Martino Factory is a small village of brick factories where the workers follow the traces of a millenary ritual. Each tile is shaped and worked with the same tools of the trade that Diderot and D'Alembert Encyclopedie describe.

 


 

IL LABORATORIO DI NOLA

The Laboratorio was founded in Nola (Naples) in 1978 by Vittorio Avella and Antonio Sgambati. Following their experiences in Paris and Bergamo, they returned to Naples to develop the idea of "Artistic Printing and Books" in southern Italy. Over the years Il Laboratorio has become a point of reference for interested in the debates about engraving techniques, and a place where research, trials and production are carried out on a national and an international basis. Etching, aquatint, dry point, mixed techniques, serigraphies and every other process of manual printing has allowed artists with different sensibilities and levels of experience to freely express themselves.

LABORATORIO CERAMICO TATÀ

The Tatà ceramic laboratory was born in 2001 from a project of the former Salerno major Vincenzo De Luca. Its project is to give chance to some selected artisans to redefine the city's ceramic tradition, which assimilated to the Vietri's tradition through the years. The laboratory is based on the essential elements of ceramic craft: it has chosen to use clay from Ogliara, a Salerno's division that since 1700 supplied the neapolitan laboratories of pictorial decoration with "riggiole" (tiles) and decided to use enamels produced by local firms. The opportunity to develop within the next years is granted by involvement of some young artists.

 


 

Laboratorio di mosaico artistico "La Martellina"

The laboratory has born in Rome in 1994 and has the aim to introduce the mosaic as an artistic language, as a component of furniture and design, based on classical and contemporary themes. It plans and realizes mosaics on own inspiration and own original inspiration and artists' and architects' drawings are behind planning and creation of the mosaics, using them as ornamental coating element for surfaces like floors, bathrooms and so on, a real design and furniture article. To realize mosaics the Laboratory uses marble tesserae and natural stones, vitreous paste and enamels and ceramic tesserae, and for the installation makes use both of traditional materials and contemporary ecologic materials and techniques.



OFFICINE MANGANIELLO

The events of the Officine Manganiello date back about 150 years ago when the great-grandfathers of the current owners started the business as a blacksmith between Nola and Afragola, in the northern area of Naples. The postwar period, the company has joined the working strictly to those craft-like industrial, in the constant search for improvement in quality. Since the 90s, the Workshops have been employed continuously to the completion of works, metal temporary installations and museum. The quality of the work and the attention paid in each project can now boast of the Officine Manganiello Quality Certification ISO 9002.

The ancient Santella factory has been estabilished in 1904 and it's specialized in manufacturing and producing grit floors. At almost a hundred years since its foundation, thanks to the excellent quality and to the accuracy in manifacture, the company is a leader in its sector. History and a tradition of a century old technology, combined with a great creativity, are the strenghts of company's presence on the market, making Santella ready to encounter the most refined needs. 


 

Selve del balzo

Some years ago in Rotondi, in the Caudina valley, an artist came in possession of a family farm and there he installed his new study. He used to take a walk in the woods around the "Madonna della Stella", and to discuss with the wood industrialists suffering from identity crisis, with keen mountain visitors, with the friends that payed him a visit, and with other farm owners. He takes consciousness of the complex timber problems, and realizes that the solution for its troublesome problems must be searched in its anthropical nature: neglecting, carelessness, fire raising. Thus, supported by sectors of universitary research and by the active aid of several friends, comes into life Selve del Balzo, a project with the aim to regain the timber's centrality by the exploiting of its main product, the chestnut, relegated to marginal uses without economic rilevance by lack of industrialization despite its great qualities as building wood. These marginal uses of course do not consent to afford any cost of the forest maintenance, and without it the hydrogeological instability is unavoidable. Thanks to its natural inclination to relationship with art, the little SbB industrial workshop produces, in its wooden warehouses, planks for parquets and other semifinished items, it studies solutions to improve arboreous cultivation not only in the mountains, it operates in cooperation with local companies and artisans to create a new cultural and economic system around the wood cycle of life.
