For most, Pisa is known for its Leaning Tower, which is the bell tower for the city’s cathedral.
But what is less known from Pisa is the lesson to be learned: avoid defective foundations when building a marble tower of 14,453 tons!
Well, not everything in Pisa has a bad foundation. Take, for example, jewelry designer Manuel Bozzi.
Born 1973 in Pisa, Manuel first studied the arts, ancient crafts, painting, and sculpture. After training in the workshop of his mother, Lydia Nissim, Manuel went on to become a gifted goldsmith.
In 2003, Manuel opened his own company called Clan Banlieue and, since, has gained worldwide popularity for his collections of jewels and accessories.
