    I love how they don't make a secret out of their craftsmanship, because they exactly know how hard it is to master. Nowadays companies use generic CNC machines and processes and still claim they have a secret for the quality of their products that they're not able to share. I also love the fact that this applies to all countries in this documentary, as if they share a common spirit or codex in craftsmanship. They're open and happy to have reporters as a guest, and that really warms my heart. Even though they don't make much money, they love their culture and work and give that a higher value than people in the western world.

Now i dont mean like people taking peoples complete ideas but there is a line between inspiration and providing a good product from just ripping someone off.

    It is other artisans that really can appreciate the hard work that goes into handmade items! As a jewelry maker who sells at a lot of craft fairs, I always buy pieces from other artisans/craftsmen because it not only supports small business people as well as gives me unique items for my home that I don't have the talents to make myself. It's truly sad that non-makers don't/can't appreciate the heart, soul, love and long hours of work that goes into making these items for little to no financial reward. This was a great documentary to watch and get exposure to makers all over the globe.

    I do not know why,but I have loved bells all my life. At one time all the churches in town would ring their bells around lunch time during the week. It became just a natural thing to hear them. I live in the Deep South and at a time , way, way before my time, large bells were everywhere on large farms and my grandparents still had theirs when I was growing up. I won’t go in to details as to why and what these bells were. Anyway, I have a sorted collection of all kinds of bells everywhere in and outside my house and barn. What a wonderful thing that these true Italian artisans are keeping the tradition alive.

    For the glass foundry. With the amount of heat they make in the foundry. They could pipe it out to the neighbourhood to provide hot water or heating 24 hours a day and collect a fee. Especially good for communal buildings. The local municipalities, business should be contacted. The heat from the furnace can also be diverted into electricity storage sand batteries. They could be producing electricity and selling it as carbon friendly because they’re gaining another use for the heat and they’re offsetting the heat when it’s not used.

    Though living in the US, & not in an area that had working / used Bells, when I have gone to weddings at Catholic Churches w/ Bell towers, it just brings a joy to the soul. It is hard to explain, but really wish that Bells would make a come back. Even a single Bell (though 3 different notes of bells is the best). It is strange since I don’t have any childhood attachment, but hearing them feels like home (& I’ve heard this from many others) Besides visiting w/ my Spanish exchange daughter, my 2nd greatest excitement when I finally get to Europe is hearing all the bells 😎

It's a wonderful memory of those 6 men that gave their lives in the war at the time. And each year their names are read out 11th Nov and a 3 min silence is held then at the end the 6 bells are rung in the memory.

    @@noellealyagout1669 I don't contest that at all. In fact, I totally agree. Much of my furniture, shelves, etc. came off the bench on my back porch rather than from a show floor downtown, although I will admit to using power hand tools where possible. I was instead pointing out that, even when using modern equipment, many of the processes and procedures are the same. Always remember that the overall education and literacy levels will generally rise to suit the level of technology in use in a given area as workers are required who can understand, manufacture, and use the technology. I really see nothing glorious in somebody educated to the level required to stomp on animal hides while up to his waste in animal pee when he could instead be educated to the level required to read the canister label and measure out the appropriate amount of Urea before starting the machine which he is educated and trained to understand, repair, and operate, as most of the world has been doing since 1828. That knife with the chest brace that he is using to scrape hides has indeed been replaced with a machine. He said himself that it was backbreaking and painful. Unsaid in the video is that the skill isn't in scraping the hide, it is knowing exactly when to STOP scraping the hide...the reason that the modern machine still has a person handling each and every hide. The machine simply removes the painful and damaging labor from the process, not the craftsman.

He speaks with so much love about his art that, it gave me the urge to tryout.

Some things remain only as something inside the family but doomed to die with the last person who is willing to put the work. In my own family the homemade bread will hopefully continue, even a grandson has learned how to make it. Whenever some of us get together, we make the bread. Sons and daughters learned how my aunt did it and we love continuing to make it. But one of our childhood dishes, only one of my sisters-in-law has the patience to do the hard work.

I wonder if the church bell in our Parish that I used to hear every hour to tell the time and every 6pm to call us in prayer of the Angelus and the Holy Rosary ( I am 68 years old now) were the product of those craftsmen in Italy. The sound of the bell was so loud we can hear it in our village which is 5kms away from the church.

The shawl was stunning, so was the blanket. Being in the US, $50 for a hand made shawl that will last versus a factory one would be worth it!

    The old ways are the best ways relative to crafting and building. I come from midwest America, where architecture is incomparable relative to early 20th century design, e.g. the raw, natural materials from Mother Earth, the design details of carvings. It can not and will not be duplicated--to that level--ever again. I took an architectural history class and tour of a Midwest city, and I was amazed. I have a tremendous appreciation for natural, historical crafts and design.

    This is the BEST 2 hours of time of watching something that I have done in a long time. It looks like most if not all of these artisans should have websites and/or anyway of posting and selling that doesn't cut into their profits so people from around the world can find them and buy from them!!! The one that shocked me the most I think was how much the mud wrestlers could make. Something I think is amazing for the young men and their families. I guess I wasn't expecting as much because "mud wrestling" in the US is usually done with wet mud and is done more to entertain for charities or in bars etc, because it is so funny to watch the wrestlers slip and slide and grab ahold of each other but can't because of the slippery, and their mud wrestling is more like competition wrestling and done in dry clay!!! Much more physical demand, much more serious and could garner the same types of fans competition wrestling and entertainment sports wrestling has in the US. Also little ole me living practically middle of US from all directions have not had the opportunity to travel much, in the US alone much less actually never outside of the country, all of these traditions for the most part were new to me . I might have heard something but never saw it, or kind of had an idea about but not so extensively in such detail as shown here. Take weaving for instance ... I know how to weave, and have done it on a very small level, but unless using the KISS method I WOULD DEFINITELY NEED TO LEARN A LOT before attempting to do anything besides weave something in all one color, I couldn't do it!!!.

    I learned how to make paper when I studied art. It's a wonderful thing to do, although I never had to turn raw products into pulp. The woman who taught me did. It uses lye, which wrecked her lungs after a while, even though she worked outside. So she changed to washing soda, which is caustic, but not as bad as lye. Many of these ancient crafts used tools and substances that damaged their bodies in various ways. It's like being a chef and comparing burns and cuts-craftspeople are also scarred. It's part of the job, and many of them derive pride from their scars. I certainly do. I have a paper shredder. I've heard that one can make paper from these shreds, although I've never tried. I think adding some cotton rags torn into shreds helps bind the paper.
