Zitat:
"The history dates back to 1911, when the four Rovera brothers - Frederico, Carlo, Cornelio and Franscesco of Varese, Italy began the Manufacture of Briar Pipes. Angelo Rovera, Federico's son, studied and learned the art of pipe making. Angelo's son, Dorelio began working with his father in 1958 at the age of 13. Dorelio studied the work of his father who was crafting fine handmade briars of many styles including carved figures and famous faces. Angelo and Dorelio worked hard to perfect the "art" and after years of passion and dedication their handmade (fatta a mano) briars were being recognized by collector's throughout the world. They contemplated a name for their line of pipes which were named Rovera up until now. It was decided that the "new" name for their pipes would be a combination of both their initials - AR(Angelo Rovera) + DOR(Dorelio Rovera). Angelo passed away in December of 1999 and Dorelio Rovera is now the master carver and administrator of the company. Dorelio's son, Damiano, who is 25 years old has studied under his father's supervision for many years. His passion and love for working with the briar has enabled him to design and craft pipes of exceptional quality. His hard work is gaining the respect of smokers and collectors around the world. The briar used is Sardinian, Ligurian, Calabrian, and Tuscanian."

Ardor Mercurio Freehand Bent Dublin (Damiano Rovera) (2005)

Zitat:
"This is something new from Diamiano (at least for me). The shape is a mixture of many cool things: hawkbill, acorn, dublin, and a rim that reminds me a bit of Rolando's accordion [or bellows] carving style. Very generous in chamber size with beautiful grain, this is a good way of thinking outside of the box.
-Adam Davidson"
