Visiting the bottega of artisan Renato Olivastri in the Oltrarno

I recently had the good fortune to see an intarsia artist at work in his workshop in the Oltrarno section of Florence. I am happy I got some good videos and photos of him and his work. Please enjoy!

Bottega: workshop.

Below is a piece of 19th century intarsia, created in an antique (Renaissance) style. Renato just had this piece on hand.
