'''Bruto Sordini''' was born in the small village of '''Cagli''', high in the mountains of central '''Italy'''. While studying law, Bruto developed a passion for pipe making, and so gave up what was to be a promising law career in order to work with his hands and heart as well as his mind. | '''Bruto Sordini''' was born in the small village of '''Cagli''', high in the mountains of central '''Italy'''.

Bruto's work as a pipe maker is rather well known by aficionados of the briar. Following his apprenticeship with various firms, he formed, with two other pipe makers, a partnership called '''Ser Jacopo'''. After a few years of such collaboration, Bruto felt he could make more interesting pipes on his own, so he, along with his charming wife Rosaria, formed '''Don Carlos'''. | Bruto's work as a pipe maker is rather well known by aficionados of the briar.
