HISTORY
At the age of 94, in December 2020, the last shipwright of Marina di Carrara passed away, undoubtedly one of the oldest and most experienced in the world: Carlo Ambrogio Bedini, known as Carlambrò, a pupil of the “father” of all shipwrights in northern Tuscany, Natino Celi, after whom Viareggio named a square. He worked in numerous shipyards building dozens of fishing boats until 1964, when he opened his own shipyard with his brother Paolo.
Among the many refined pleasure boats built here was BARABBA, based on the sophisticated designs of Ugo Faggioni for a refined shipowner, now the owner of one of the most beautiful vintage boats.
