Antonio Battaglia is aware that each face has a personality and unique features, which is why he firmly believes in the value of handmade eyewear frames. "They are the ultimate accessory," he says. Self-taught and then trained in the workshop of an optician, Antonio has been innovating with shapes and researching materials ever since he opened his first workshop in 2009 in Treviso. Later, he opened his current workshop in Venice. A spectacle-wearer himself, Antonio also serves as the best testimonial for the crafting of his frames. He works in the window of his workshop, attracting the attention and curiosity of customers and passers-by. This enthusiasm for his craft is also reflected in the fact that he takes part in trunk shows in Italy and abroad, to better serve an eclectic and international clientele.
