After having learned the trade from his father and Raffaello, his great-grandfather, in 1950 Sergio Ugolini decided to open a new wordshop in Via del Presto di S. Martino just a stone's throw from the church of Santo Spirito, one of the key points in the busy Oltrarno district. If, in the early days, he mainly restored antiques or commonplace items, today he specializes in bronze and hand-drawn copper. This workshop, a piece of living history, turns out high quality artistic wares such as hammered vases and bowls, with a special eye focused on antiquye models.
