La Radica
La Radica pipes are made by Natale Novello. He writes the following:
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, 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.
All my personal pipes have my logo and the "FM" stamp. (Handmade). Generally my pipes are named after feminine names.
