I discovered this forum thnks to an image on the internet I'm a newbie and i hope to learn from you the art of metalshaping, beacause here in italy we don't have schools, and old artists are not so involved in teaching! |

Hi Valerio,
Welcome to the forum. It is very sad that in Italy these skills are no longer taught, because Italy has such a great history of metalshaping, especially there in Milano, where Zagato and other great carrozzeria were located. Here we are all trying to re-learn the skills that Italians used to be masters of. Bill Longyard

it's true that in Italy there is not much teaching.... I was there just a few months ago and discovered that ( to my dissapointment) the ones that know the trade..... and there is a few of them... have the unfortunate mentality of not wanting to ""share their secrets". When I went to these places the first question that they asked was" who are you?what do you want? and who sent you? Ithought that was ridiculous, when I asked why they told me that, this is the way it is here. It's no wonder that the trade is dead over there.... Peter

Hi Valerio. Welcome to AllMetalShaping. I spent a lot of time in Milano during the late 90's because my manager lived there and that is where he chose to have meetings. Beautiful place.
