Two more important characters to mention: '''Franco Rossi''' (later Giorgio Imperatori’s brother-in-law and today [[Il Ceppo]]) learned the art of pipe making for a time at Mastro de Paja after a serious injury had put an end to his career as a professional soccer player.

He went on to Ser Jacopo and Don Carlos afterwards. '''Andrea Pascucci''', (unrelated) born in 1966 in Pesaro, learned the business from 1989 on. He joined Ser Jacopo in 1994 and was Massimo Palazzi’s partner at L' anatra until 2016, when he left L'Anatra and start to make Fiamma di Re pipes. | ||
