Farriery

Shoeing, research and passion

Shoeing horses is not just a profession for me, it is a way to keep alive a tradition that has been passed down in my family for centuries. This cultural and family heritage is a fundamental part of my professional identity. In addition to passionately preserving traditional forging techniques, my university studies in cultural anthropology have provided me with the tools necessary to delve deeper into the history of farriery and better understand its roots. Thanks to these skills, I have been able to conduct research presented at important conferences, such as the 45th World Association for the History of Veterinary Medicine Congress, where I published a paper in the conference proceedings.

However, the core of my work remains the practical aspect, which fascinates me the most. I continue to dedicate myself passionately to farriery, carrying on this centuries-old tradition with the same love and dedication as always. At the same time, I maintain a strong interest in everything new and innovative in my craft, while staying deeply rooted in my home region of the Aosta Valley, where my work remains practical and hands-on.
