Forio dedicates an evening to Franchino 'U scarparo, the historic shoemaker of via San Vito and the island's last master craftsman. The event takes place on Friday 13 November 2026, from 18:30 to 20:00, at Bar Maria - Caffè Internazionale. The evening gathers testimonies and memories from those who knew him, with a video interview documenting the techniques of the trade and the creation of an artistic piece dedicated to him, so that this knowledge remains available to those who come after. The initiative is promoted by the Associazione culturale IncontrArte ETS with the patronage of the Comune di Forio.
