Who does it?
Ivan
Carpenter and more
Born in the province of Venice, he approached the world of carpentry as a child, following in his uncles' footsteps.
Ivan is a carpenter full of surprises; as well as working with wood in Arte Veneziana, he is a passionate ski mountaineer, mountain biker and excels at climbing, an activity he loves so much that he teaches it.

Collaboration between carpenters is also very important to optimise time and complete the work in order to facilitate, later, the other..
