FERRARI Alessio
Alessio Ferrari approached the craft of soapstone working by following in the footsteps of his father Fabrizio and his grandfather Renzo, and he fell in love with it because of its unique softness and malleability. From an early age, he showed a strong interest in the craft, first through play and later by creating small works such as picture frames, pocket trays, and pens.
After gaining various experiences, he opened his own company in 2023, dedicated to the creation of decorative furnishings and stone sculpture, producing larger works such as monuments and bas-reliefs, as well as smaller objects like clocks and fragrance diffusers.
In addition, thanks to his family’s experience, he restores ancient Walser stoves, some of them over 300 years old, striving to preserve their original form and integrity.
He truly loves his work and shows it through the passion he puts into everything he creates, especially when sharing his experience and knowledge with others.
FERRARI Luca
Luca Ferrari developed a passion for soapstone from a young age, thanks to his family tradition started by his grandfather Renzo Ferrari, who created sculptures and restored old 18th- and 19th-century stoves in the Lys Valley, as well as by his father and his uncles Claudio and Fabrizio, who turned this passion into their profession.
Claudio and Fabrizio Ferrari founded their company in 1990, creating sculptures, monuments, and their own stoves, customized according to each client’s preferences.
Luca then opened his own sole proprietorship in 2024, continuing the art of soapstone sculpture himself as well.
FERRARI Claudio
Claudio Ferrari approached the working of soapstone from a young age following the art of his father Renzo and his older brother Fabrizio and fell in love with it for its particular softness and malleability.
In 1987, together with Fabrizio, he founded a company dedicated to the creation of traditional stoves, rediscovering a tradition dating back to the eighteenth century. The Ferrari brothers build soapstone stoves of various models and sizes, decorated and customized with dates, initials, coats of arms and flowers according to customer requests.
However, Claudio asserted himself in the panorama of Aosta Valley handicrafts not only for the production of stoves, but also for the realization of objects for the house and sculptures in the round fruit of his imagination.
Today, the artisanal journey continues thanks to Luca and Alessio, son and nephew, who have chosen to follow in their fathers’ footsteps and focus primarily on the creation of one-of-a-kind pieces.
