Honoring the Work of Artisans

Every year on March 19, the International Day of the Artisan is celebrated, symbolizing respect for the work of artisans around the world. This date was chosen according to the Catholic tradition of celebrating Saint Joseph's Day, the father of Jesus, who was also an artisan. Modern artisans combine traditions with innovations, preserving the uniqueness of each product. Artisan Day reminds us of the importance of manual labor and the art of creating unique products that surround us in our daily lives. It is also important to support local masters and preserve artisanal traditions that are an integral part of cultural heritage.
