84 years old blacksmith in Venice

The blacksmith at work in his workshop in Venice

It’s still possible to find, in the labyrinth of small streets around the very centre of Venice, the remaining of old manual works. In this case, the blacksmith who is now 84 years old has been working in its workshop since the age of 11, and got this job from his father who – him too – has been working in the same place since the age of 11. Inside such a place it’s interesting to see how lines, geometries, light and human being all play together to give us a nice composition.
