Top craftsman! High quality and fair prices. He's one of the few who works the traditional way. An art workshop in the heart of Vomero.
Eduardo, a master forger of hand-wrought iron for over 50 years, has created excellent works of various objects as well as heavy carpentry. There aren't any like him around anymore... Mr. Claudio, shown below, is truly rare. I'm sorry he had a meeting time issue, from what I gather, but from what I understand, he's given most of his negative reviews to anyone. He's always controversial and easily picks faults. This company has been around for 100 years, and customers who know Eduardo well, and the good soul of his grandfather Noviello, who passed this art on to everyone else, already know what kind of people they are. I'd like to see how this gentleman works... but then again, criticism is like in the kitchen: they serve you a good, well-made dish, but there's always someone who criticizes the parsley, which shouldn't have been added.
Being serious and respectful when attending appointments is just as important as the quality of the work you produce. Waste of time...
