Franca Caprodossi continued the noble art of hand-weaving, inherited from Maria Ciccotti, who began this work in 1942, learning from local weavers, bringing Pievebovigliana the most ancient glories of the best textile tradition.
The process is still the most ancient, which requires the engagement of a second weaver together to sitting to the frame.
The purpose of “Il Telaio della Pieve” is to continue the tradition, devoting all his time to this art, with the patience of an ancient priestess, repeating the same gestures, the same for centuries, with a dedication and skill that a are daily renewed .
