The craftsmen of the Aosta valley traditionally used the term “l’Artisanà” to refer to the shop in the centre of Aosta where the products displayed during the Sant’Orso Craft Fair were taken for sale once the fair was over. Thus, the Institut Valdôtain de l’Artisanat de Tradition has decided to make this name its communication brand, combining the cultural and commercial sectors of its activity.
Today there are four Artisanà boutiques spread all over the region, providing an original showcase for a living, evolving craft industry rooted in tradition.
The boutiques de L’Artisanà offer tourists and aficionados the chance to take home an authentic piece of the Aosta Valley: objects crafted in wood, earthenware and wrought iron, as well as textiles and ceramics, testifying to the traditions of our region that stretch back thousands of years.

The boutique in Aosta

L'Artisanà shop in Aosta moved to new premises in May 2025, leaving its historic location under the arcades but returning to 37, Piazza Chanoux, once home to the ‘Bottega d'arte paesana’ (country art workshop) of Jules Brocherel, a key figure in traditional craftsmanship in the Aosta Valley. The new shop has completely renovated furnishings and a modern layout, designed to showcase the variety of the Valdôtain craftsmanship and highlight the unique characteristics of each object, raw material and production process. Today, L'Artisanà owns four boutiques in the whole region: they are all original showcases of a living and evolving craftsmanship that has its roots in local tradition.
