Maestri d'Ascia

The Maestri d'Ascia are the master shipwrights, those who build and repair wooden boats using ancestral techniques. In Maremma, you'll find them mainly along the coast, in the small fishing ports. Their work is a rare craft, passed down from generation to generation. For you, traveler, it's a unique opportunity to see craftsmen at work and to understand how these traditional boats, which still sail our waters, are made. It's a piece of living history, a direct link with the region's maritime past.
