-[[File:NataleNevello.jpg|thumb|Natale Nevello, maker of La Radica pipes]]La Radica pipes are made by Natale Novello. He is of Sicilian origin, and this is the reason for his logo, and for name of his website. Radica is heather in French. Novello considers pipes as objects of art, some pipes are so beautiful as to leave one speechless, the beauty of the briar, the work of the craftsman, and the masterpieces take shape to the delight of the pipe smoker.
+[[File:NataleNevello.jpg|thumb|Natale Nevello, maker of La Radica pipes]]La Radica pipes are made by Natale Novello. He writes the following:
-After a very varied professional career, woodworking recently called Natale in an irresistible way, and so he though, why not make pipes? In addition, he had the chance to know an exceptional master pipemaker, [[Pascal Piazzolla]].
+<blockquote>I am of Sicilian origin. Since 1997 I have lived in France in the region of Yvelines. I started getting interested in pipes in 2019 by doing repairs. In 2021 I started making pipes of my own. My teachers are [[Pascal Piazzolla]], [[Armellini|Vilma Armellini]], and [[Mario Pascucci]]. I spent a week with each of them to improve my skills and learn some tips. My style is a mix of classic and creative. I use heather (Briar) from Tuscany and Calabria, and I use ebonite, acrylic, and Cumberland for the stems. 90% of my pipes are handmade. On average it takes me three days to make a pipe, or even more sometimes, because I take a little time to think.
-Natale is Italian, but his workshop is in France.
+All my personal pipes have my logo and the "FM" stamp. (Handmade). Generally my pipes are named after feminine names.
