The 'Iron Knight' of Schignano honored for 60 years in the workshop

This week master blacksmith Giovanni Peduzzi, known locally as the “Iron Knight,” was awarded an official recognition for sixty years of work in his Schignano workshop. The Regional Council of Como presented a bronze medal in recognition of Peduzzi’s contribution to craftsmanship and the area's cultural identity.

  • Who: Giovanni Peduzzi (born 1951), master blacksmith and artist in wrought iron, previously honored as a Knight of the Republic.
  • What: presentation of the official bronze medal of the Regional Council of the Province of Como for his career and the quality of his ironwork.
  • Where: Schignano, Valle d'Intelvi (Como province), Lombardy.
  • Why: sixty years producing works for municipalities, churches and private entities, and for promoting and reinterpreting local artisanal heritage.

Officials and the mayor of Schignano attended the ceremony, which was framed as recognition of the ability to turn traditional techniques into contemporary artistic expression. Peduzzi described his craft plainly: “The forge is made of iron, fire and air: it takes the work of the hands and the ingenuity of the mind.”
