Until a few decades ago many manufacturers did jobs that nowadays nobody does anymore. There were those people for example, who manufactured animal furs with the help of only a knife and those, who constructed wooden wheels for horse-drawn sleighs.
Other craftsman, such as weavers, tailors and shoemakers who once used to move from one workplace to another and lived at a farm for one or more weeks where they produced the clothes for the entire family, have completely changed their working methods.
The
traditional crafts have nearly disappeared, while a new type of craft has developed over the past few years and could develop with the help of tourism. Also this type of modern crafts work has developed some special characteristics and became typical for the Val Badia valley.
Especially remarkable are the artistic hand weavings.
Here you can also find carpenters, sculptors and designers specialized in the construction of furniture in an antique style, rustic furniture and paintings and various wooden objects for decoration.
Very characteristic and highly demanded are also wrought iron works from local smiths.
In the handcrafts area of Antermoia - San Martino - Longiarù we also find numerous craft construction companies.
