FROM ITALY

To all American Blacksmiths,


I am writing from Italy to promote a project that I am thinking since a while and that maybe you all can affect. My name is Francesco De Biasio, 25 years old and I am the son of a blacksmith-sculptor. The passion for the wrought iron has accompanied my father's entire life, Mauro De Biasio, which from the heart of the Dolomites till the feet of the Marmolada (Veneto, Municipality of Belluno), has always sought with passion to forge new ideas, new products and to keep alive the tradition of our family in the field of wrought iron, with particular objects and original sculptures.

I don't know how to convey to everyone just how much I want you guys to make this site what you want it to be. I just want to kick start it and use your input to take it to the next level.
