This group is a gathering place for the smokers, collectors and creators of tobacco pipes made in the territories of the former Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
While many of the most well known names in pipe making come from the famed centers of production in northern Italy, the incredible artists and artisans creating smoking pipes in the territories of southern Italy and Sicily - the lands that once constituted the ancient Kingdom of the Two Sicilies - are sometimes difficult to identify, and far-too-often completely overlooked. We’ve set out to catalogue, collect, and circulate the fine works being crafted in the Two Sicilies today.
