Napoli su misura is a photographic voyage of discovery of the 50 most iconic Neapolitan master artisans, whose faces, stories and cult works are recounted. An immersive experience among Naples' historic ateliers, new workshops, artisan galleries and ancient archives.
Napoli su misura. Craft Shopping Guide is the must-have guide for lovers of beauty and the incredible traditions that still live on in these greenhouses of creativity. The guide is a poetic yet practical map that will accompany you among the Parthenopean excellences: from the cribs of San Gregorio Armeno to the master tailors of the elegant Chiaia district, the gloves of Rione Sanità, the lively shops of Spaccanapoli and Via San Biagio dei Librai, the coral of Torre del Greco and the wooden inlays of Sorrento. Plus master lute-makers, ceramists, jewellers, makers of shoes, ties, cufflinks and umbrellas, ‘fire craftsmen’ and ‘doll doctors’.
A project commissioned by the Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte and realised by the Gruppo Editoriale publishing house, proud to pay homage once again to the masters of savoir-faire, expanding the series of beautiful ‘made-to-measure’ books, which already boasts titles dedicated to cities such as Milan, Florence and Venice. Through the stories and unpublished photos by Dario Garofalo, Napoli su misura is an immersive experience not to be missed in the great universe of Neapolitan artistic craftsmanship. The guide is distributed in the most prestigious hotels in Naples, the Amalfi Coast and Capri, in the best bookshops in Italy, as well as being available on www.gruppoeditoriale.com and in the most important online bookshops.
