A day at the Forge: Creating a wrought iron leaf

Vivi un’esperienza indimenticabile nel cuore di San Donato Val di Comino, alla scoperta dell’antica arte del ferro battuto. In compagnia di Massimiliano Cautilli, un maestro fabbro che porta avanti con passione e abilità una tradizione di famiglia risalente al Settecento, scoprirai i segreti e le tecniche di un mestiere affascinante e ricco di storia.

Upon entering Cautilli's Workshop, you will find yourself immersed in an atmosphere of yesteryear, surrounded by the original tools and skillfully crafted ironwork. Massimiliano will guide you through every step of the process: from choosing the type of iron, to planning the design, to forging the piece. The experience is completely personalized, so that the object you make will be unique, with the possibility of engraving your initials to carry with you a special memory of this adventure.

The tour begins with an introduction to the history of the workshop and the tradition of the Cautilli family, which is linked to San Donato Val di Comino and known for creating relevant works, such as the famous canopy of the Eden Hotel in Rome. After choosing the iron and defining the design, Massimiliano will heat the metal in the forge, and with his support you can experience the thrill of shaping the glowing iron, blow by blow, until you create your work.

This experience is not only an opportunity to learn about an ancient craft, but also a journey into the memories, stories and passions of a family that has made ironworking its life.
