A former competitive ''judoka''<ref>An expert practitioner of judo.</ref> and a practicing endodontic surgeon, Fassi first took up pipe making under the tutelage of German artisan [[Safferling|Betram Safferling]]. Fassi’s relationship with pipes began much earlier, however. When he was 14, Fassi began to smoke the [[Savinelli]] that his father had – unsuccessfully – bought as a means of quitting cigarettes. While living in Monza, Fassi began to frequent the now-closed Scarafiotti tobacconist, where his fascination with pipes further grew. At 16, Fassi visited the [[Caminetto]] manufacturing company in Cucciago, during a time when its production was still under the direction of Guiseppe ‘Peppino’ [[Ascorti]] and Luigi [[Radice]]. As he recalls, “it was at that moment that an imprinting was probably established.” | A former competitive ''judoka''<ref>An expert practitioner of judo.</ref> and a practicing endodontic surgeon, Fassi first took up pipe making under the tutelage of German artisan [[Safferling|Betram Safferling]].
