The fascination of the history of an enthralling land is also expressed through craftsmanship that perfectly matches the demands of visitors, who are eager to learn not only about the uncontaminated gifts of nature, but also about the enveloping secrets of the craftsmen, today strongly threatened by the memory reset imposed by globalisation. Starting from artistic embroidery and wool and silk work (Acquaro, Fabrizia, Monterosso Calabro, Bivongi, Stilo) to that of wood, marble and granite (Davoli and Serra San Bruno), the ancient style adopted and the beauty of the works even seem to generate an emotional involvement in those who find themselves admiring the artist’s work. Similar considerations can be made regarding the production of pipes (Brognaturo) and, in terms of their purely artisanal relevance, that of wicker and reeds (municipalities of Alto Mesima) and that of terracotta vases for preserving and cooking food (Sorianello and Gerocarne).  Strawmakers of chairs and umbrellas (Stilo), tanners and coopers (Bivongi) complete a picture that satisfies the refined tastes and special expectations of lovers of the finesse of manual labour, exalted in summer fairs that recall the splendours of the past.
