Millennial history
Crafts and typical production
For thousands of years, the Valle Umbra and the Sibillini mountains have witnessed human presence; the alternating of different civilizations, the labour of farmers, breeders and monks, the passing of shepherds and merchants, pilgrims and soldiers, each adding a layer of wisdom and culture. From ancient to contemporary times, this territory has undergone many changeful events while keeping continuity alive.
Ceramics, terracotta and wrought iron, embroidery and weaving, basket making, hemp ropes, woodwork and restauration and the Extra Virgin Olive oil, the wine, the cheeses and cold cuts represent a tradition of ancient-old memories. This ancient knowledge is still alive in the many workshops and small manufactories, where artisans work with traditional materials, perfectly combined with contemporary techniques to create unique items, true works of art.
