Stefano Costantini lives in northern Italy near Venice with his brothers and leads a family carpentry company that has endured for three generations. His great-grandfather founded their business in 1880. When Stefano was a child his father made him sit on the carpenter’s bench in the laboratory where he played with pieces of wood and tools. He has always been a fan of handwriting and for five years has been designing and manufacturing writing instruments. For about a year he has also been producing calligraphy tools, using wood for the great bond he has with this magnificent material. secwoodpen.com
