It was 1978 when Amorelli<\/strong>a young university student in Pisa, was given a pipe as a gift that made him fall in love with it to such an extent that it ignited in him extraordinary, unique potential, which over time made him the undisputed King of the handmade pipe, especially for collectors.<\/p>\n

This passion prevented him from transforming his handicraft business into an industry, despite the requests that arrived from all over the planet. In fact, each pipe is a story, a piece of briar different from the next, extraordinary designs and engravings, workmanship of almost maniacal precision, unique creatures, not clonable, not reproducible. Art objects in every way.<\/p>\n

Amorelli produces jewelled pipes, mixing precious materials such as briar and horn with diamonds, pearls and gold. This is why his pipes have become part of the lives of important personalities such as the Saudi King HH Abdullah Al-Saud<\/strong>the Pope His Holiness John Paul II<\/strong>the former President of the United States, Bill Clinton<\/strong>former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl<\/strong> and the Italian cartoonist\u00a0Milo Manara<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
