The world knows Made in Italy. Few know where it is truly born.
The Gozzo
Wood, sea, generations.
Marina Grande, Sorrento. Since 1760 the Aprea family has been building wooden gozzi, and when the market chose fiberglass, they chose not to change. In the shipyard-museum of the Antico Cantiere del Legno Aprea, the gozzo takes shape as it always has: the keel, the frames, the planking bent board by board. All around, historic boats once owned by Eduardo De Filippo and Totò, and restorations that have made the history of classic yachting.
The Coral Secret
The red gold of the Mediterranean.
Torre del Greco has been working coral for centuries, and the whole world comes here for its jewels and cameos. We step inside the private collection of a family that has shaped, and continues to shape, the history of coral. A treasure guarded for generations, revealed to a few.
Le Sete di San Leucio
The silk of kings.
At the end of the eighteenth century, the Bourbons founded, just outside Caserta, a silk manufactory that was also meant to be a model community. Today San Leucio is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its silks have adorned royal residences and state palaces around the world. And yet, few know of it. That is precisely why we chose it.
Timeless Naples
The city, through its workshops.
A Naples far from the usual paths. Two renowned artisan workshops, where the craft is handed down from father to son. A historic pizzeria, to understand why Neapolitan pizza-making is part of humanity’s heritage. And to finish, coffee and sfogliatella at Gran Caffè Gambrinus, where Naples has been taking its pause since 1860.
