Antonio Maria Scanu’s Officina d’Arte Fabbrile in Benetutti, a village in central Sardinia, is renowned internationally for the prestigious craftsmanship of wrought iron, worked with artistic and sculptural traits using purely artisanal procedures. Antonio uses wrought iron as an expressive medium to create pieces of art that take on articulate, complex forms of particular technical and artistic virtuosity. Son of the local blacksmith, he learned the techniques of the craft in the family smithy, where he started creating the typical wrought iron artefacts according to the traditional style and technique. Naturally talented and strongly motivated, he perfected and enriched his skills through specialisation courses in Stia, Tuscany and in Vittorio Veneto, northern Italy, both being centres renowned for their artistic blacksmith tradition, where he learned and refined sculptural shaping procedures. He received several international awards as an art blacksmith thanks to his sensitivity and mastery. Antonio Maria Scanu works on numerous and prestigious projects for an international clientele, realising large-scale, complex works which stand out for the fine manual technique and which are destined for a clientele appreciative of excellent and unique craftsmanship.
