Achille Jr. continued to oversee the factory and cultivate the brand until he passed it down to his son, Giancarlo. As the current President of the company, Giancarlo has faced a grave challenge: keeping the marque relevant during a period of gradual pipe smoking decline. Pipe smoking may not be as ubiquitous today as in past generations, but Giancarlo has nevertheless energized the family business, much like his grandfather Carlo, by adapting his skills to meet the demands of the customer. By ushering in new lines and series to compete with modern trends, while still maintaining the same strict standards for quality control his father introduced, Giancarlo has

The 320 KS Author, for instance, is one of Savinelli’s most popular and iconic designs, yet it does not follow this English-influenced theme; instead, it takes a more Italian neo-classical approach, placing a heavy emphasis on the visual weight of the bowl itself. Savinelli’s signature Cobra-like shank designs offer another exception. The 677 KS bent Billiard, the 123 bent Pot, and the 673 Bulldog/Rhodesian all feature the same type of semi-paneled, semi-rounded, triangular shank.

By keeping the shank rounded along the underside, the eye is able to follow a smooth, continuous curve from the heel all the way to the end of the stem, which complements the often fuller proportions lent to the bowl itself. This juxtaposition of smooth, lithe line and full bowl isn’t unique to these Cobra-shanked variations, however; this theme is actually one of the most iconic characteristics of Savinelli’s aesthetic—found across the board, from standard sized designs to extra-large EX designated pieces.
