Cortona was such a cool town, but stumbling across this woodworking shop made our day! Giancarlo was so nice, welcoming, knowledgeable, and an expert in his craft all while honoring his family history and heritage. I will cherish the wood apple i purchased and all the memories it represents.

Your workshop has remained tied to the past by valuing the work of your parents and grandparents! The charm of time, materials, nature, shapes and craftsmanship come together in modern objects of elegant and delicate beauty! Great job😊

Beautiful handmade objects. We loved everything object we saw, and ended up buying an olive. We also had a great exchange with Giancarlo, who provided us some interesting information. Definitely worthwile a stop by when in Cortona.

Visiting Giancarlo’s shop was great! He is such an interesting person. He is passionate about his creations and it shows. The art is unique and looks great in our home. We have many fond memories of our trip when we see the pieces we purchased from Giancarlo. Highly recommend visit to his shop!

What a privilege to have found this shop and this incredible craftsman on my recent trip to Cortona. In addition to unique beauty of each of the carefully crafted pieces in the shop, the pride of his craft was so delightfully apparent in my conversations with Giancarlo. The crafted silver that I bought there will be a favorite and wonderful memory of my time in Italy, and I hope to return to acquire more pieces from this amazing shop in the future.

Giancarlo is an amazing artist and he is an exceptional craftsman. His work is almost historical and amazingly beautiful and fine. It was a joy to spend time in his small shop and talk with him about how he is carrying on the traditions of his father and grandfather in his work. His work is stunning and has to be seen.

Fantastic visit to gallery/workshop full of examples of both creative design and the highest standards of workmanship. The owner took time to show and explain and made us feel very welcome. Insight into a multi-generational creative business.

Hidden in the beautiful hilltop town of Cortona you’ll find the workshop and studio of Giancarlo Rossi. We had such a great time speaking to him and bought several pieces already on display in our home. Great workmanship and unique items.

Giancarlo designs beautiful and unique items of wood. I would highly recommend visiting his shop when you are in Cortona to find the perfect gift. His vision reflects his history (as a third generation woodworker) while incorporating fresh and innovative ideas into his work. He uses both native Italian and rare wood from around the world and each piece is one-of-a-kind. He is a joy to speak with and you will walk away from his shop with both knowledge and a work of art. You will not be disappointed!

Do seek out this beautiful atelier in the hill top town of Cortona. A special privilege to find workmanship and dedication of this renown and a joy to speak with the maker in person. Interesting, articulate and passionate. Thank you Giancarlo !
