Arts and Crafts in Naples Private Tour of Craftsmen

The best way to understand Neapolitan culture is by meeting its artisans who have been preserving their precious crafts for generations. A local expert will guide you through the workshops of the old town, where you'll learn the production process of the corno, your most iconic good luck charm and the art of carving shells and stones. Let yourself be enchanted by the creativity behind the terracotta figurines that make up the presepe, the nativity—your beloved Christmas tradition. Meet the artisans who have enough time that day to properly welcome guests: lute and handcrafted string instruments makers at their timeless workshops, toy fixers who carry on their family hard work since 1800 at a magical place in Naples or a fifth-generation leather gloves maker at his atelier in a old apartment building. Take a break to sample a sweet or savory local specialty, and enjoy an authentic Neapolitan espresso — or prepared using the traditional cuccumella, the original Neapolitan coffee pot.
