Rinaldo pipes are made by two brothers, Elio and Guido Rinaldo in Pesaro, Italy. Elio began making pipes when he was only fifteen, and his younger brother, who worked with precious metals for jewelry, began making pipes when he was sixteen. After initially working in a large pipemaking company, they branched off to work for themselves in 1987 forming Rinaldo pipes. Because of his jewelry background, Guido is responsible for making all of their silver bands and accents on-site, accenting their acrylic stems and smooth, sandblasted, or rusticated finishes.
