While visiting the Tuscan hilltop town of Montepulciano, we dropped in on Césare Mazzetti, a third generation master coppersmith and an Italian treasure. The Vatican Museum features one of his copper plates and his renowned copper pots and pans, marketed by his Rinomata Rameria Mazzetti Company, are hard at work in top flight restaurants from New York City to Hong Kong. The jovial Signor Mazzetti treated us to a private tour of his workshop filled with anvils, hammers of many shapes and sizes and forges. He was especially proud of his many antique stamps and dies passed down from his father and grandfather. He demonstrated some of the techniques of his trade and then described the history of some of the pieces in his family museum. As a surprise departing gift he made family copper plate mementos for each couple commemorating their marriage dates, children and grandchildren. Wow!
