Fornace Calandrelli
Handcrafted Cotto since 1752
We are part of a long history.
We have been native of Castel Viscardo for generations: since 1752, our ancestors were craftsmen, inventors and enthusiasts about Cotto. Such a beautiful material can only be born from love, from fatigue, and from passion. In the early days, the artisans extracted the clay with the pickaxe, kneaded with feet and carried it on their shoulders: the synthesis of this effort could be summed up in a valuable material of rare beauty, whose various declinations all have in common the same point – excellence. And this is precisely the constant we recreate: centuries later and with all the improvements that our modern time gave us, we remain rooted in the ancient and extraordinary tradition, whose ultimate goal is the combination of beauty and quality.
To appreciate our work have been private individuals, professionals, companies and Fine Arts bureaus. They have chosen our terracotta for numerous restorations including the Colosseum in Rome, Piazza del Campo in Siena, the Reggia of Caserta and other points of historical interest of the Italian tradition.
Dedicated to Lorenzo Calandrelli, the man who brought the art of Umbrian handcrafted Cotto to the world and made it great.
