Who we are · Italian Master Barbers since 1820
One family.
Seven generations.
The world’s oldest living barber dynasty. A craft preserved in Bovino and passed from hand to hand for more than two centuries.
More than a family story
An art worth protecting.
The Scapicchio story is one of passion, resilience and migration. Across Italy, the United States and Germany, every generation upheld the same promise: to preserve the technique, discipline and human warmth of traditional barbering.
Three moments.
One unbroken tradition.

The family journey
Two centuries.
One standard.
The places changed. The hands changed. The responsibility remained the same: honour what came before and leave the craft stronger for the next generation.
The roots in Bovino
Vincenzo Scapicchio opens the family barbershop in Bovino. As a barber, surgeon and artisan, he builds a reputation founded on precision, trust and service.
From Bovino to Chicago
The family tradition crosses the Atlantic. In Chicago, the Scapicchio barbershop grows to a team of six and serves the city’s elite with an exclusive Italian shaving ritual.
The return to Italy
Vincenzo returns with international experience and passes it on. Luigi continues the family profession and keeps Bovino at the heart of the story.
A new chapter in Germany
In Winnenden, near Stuttgart, the family establishes three barbershops and a team of twenty. The craft evolves without abandoning its roots.
The next generation
The sixth generation begins working in the historic Bovino barbershop, continuing a legacy learned through presence, repetition and time.
200 years in one gesture
Every hot towel, every razor stroke and every moment of silence carries two centuries of dedication.
A living worldwide community
Rooted in Bovino. Carried worldwide.
Today, Scapicchio Master Barbers carry this heritage around the world. Different countries and cultures are united by a shared standard of technique, service, discipline and respect.
The tradition grows through people who have earned the responsibility to pass it on — while the family remains its foundation.
