Mimmo Provenzano A

Cosimo Provenzano, born in Maglie (Le) in 1968 where he lives and works.

Lit his first pipe in 2007 and fell in love, since, with everything related to the pipe.
After viewing many videos and tutorials takes its priperas pipes with pre-drilled dowels in 2009.
Mimmo today is a skilled craftsman with a distinct style. Clearly departs from the Italian school. His pipes are clean and well defined lines. His style is distinctly Danish, light thin-walled pipes and worked well without adding ornate rings and ornaments ... beauty is in the work of briar without artifice.
