Throughout the summer, the public will be able to admire the splendid works created by the skilled hands of the Vuillermoz artisans and learn about the strength of the family nucleus as a place of education. The exhibition aims to tell the story of craftsmanship as family knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation from the 1930s to today: Vittorio, Giulio, Luciano and Franco. Four artisans who have been able to make their manual skill a family tradition, giving life to a refined art that has spanned an entire century.
The exhibition can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday during the Museum’s opening hours and admission is included in the MAV ticket.
