Experience an authentic artisan experience in the heart of Torre del Greco, just a few minutes from Naples, by entering a historic workshop dedicated to the craftsmanship of coral and cameo, among the most representative excellences of the Campania tradition. In this timeless place, you will take part in a journey rooted between Pompeii and Herculaneum, where this ancient art was born and continues to live today thanks to the mastery of local artisans.
The world capital of coral and cameo, Torre del Greco preserves a knowledge passed down through time, where each handmade creation becomes a unique piece rich in history and meaning.
The experience begins inside the workshop, where you will be welcomed by a master artisan and introduced to the raw materials, such as coral, sardonyx shell, and engraving tools. You will discover origins, characteristics, and production phases, closely observing the gestures that transform raw materials into true works of art. Then, you will step into the heart of the experience by becoming an artisan for a day: you will try different stages of the process, from shell shaping to drawing, up to an engraving trial, experiencing firsthand the techniques and gestures of this ancient craft.
The experience concludes with a sharing moment and a visit to the showroom, where each creation tells a story of passion, technique, and connection to the territory. At the end of the experience, you will receive a complimentary authentic souvenir, symbol of your time in the workshop.
