Radice Pipes |

| Luigi
Radice has had a long and varied history in the world of pipe making- so
long and varied that he now holds the honorary title of Oldest Italian
Artisan Pipe Maker Still Actively Involved In His Craft. Gigi, as he is
known to his friends, actually started off in the jewelry trade as an
engraver. He carried this skill over when he began in the pipe trade
with the great firm CASTELLO, situated in a village not far from his
own. In 1970 or so he and another talented pipe maker, Peppino Ascorti,
founded the CAMINETTO brand which was sold for ten years before internal
difficulties forced its dissolution. In 1980 Gigi made, for the first
time, a brand under his own name and with his own individual style.
Known throughout the pipe making world for his skill, inventiveness, and
panache his work is always recognizable as RADICE. RADICE is also known
for his twin-bore stems and his much-copied candle wax drip carved bowls
and and stems carved to look like bamboo. While Gigi is in
semi-retirement, leaving much of the carving duties to his two sons
Marizo and Gianluca, RADICE personally inspects every pipe that leaves
his workshop to ensure that every pipe bearing his name meets his
highest standards of quality. Click on the pipe thumbnail for a larger view. |
