Laces and embroideries, tapestries and carpets: materials’ art in Abruzzo goes through woman’s hands from Scanno to Pescocostanzo, Lanciano, Sulmona and Penne. We point out the famous “tarante”, heavy and coloured covers in wool, handmade by Taranta Peligna’s artisans.
Wool’s art success during Middle Ages determinated the development of Taranta Peligna, village close to the wool way that connected Florence to Neaples through the Apennines. |
