We had heard that there was a weaving business in Perugia that created weavings as they were done hundreds of years ago. It sounded interesting and so we scheduled a tour for my birthday. Marta, the owner and head weaver, gave us a fascinating and comprehensive tour. Her enthusiasm for her work rubbed off on us as she showed us her ancient looms (including some Jacquards) and the work they produced. We were able to see every step of the process, beginning with a drawing and ending up with beautiful hand-woven fabrics. Among her creations she and her two long time apprentices recreate patterns that you can see in Renaissance paintings. Located in a stunning de-consecrated church this weaver's studio is one of the best things to see Umbria. And of course there's always the chance to buy one of their creations.

A very interesting visit to look at hand weaving; both old and more modern. In a beautiful setting of 13th c Franciscan Church in Perugia. Take bus C from Piazza Cavallotti to get nearby.

For me this was a totally unexpected surprise! A leap into an artistic experience of the ancient art of hand weaving. The laboratory housed in an old Franciscan church was the perfect setting for this medieval artisan laboratory. Fascinating seeing all the ancient symbols, e.g. the Griffin of Perugia woven into these delicate wefts. Perfect place to buy gifts for friends who have a cultural sensitivity of the ancient crafts. The founder's grand daughter has a mission to keep this antique art alive and her passion went far below
surface-
level as she explained the different symbologies of the beautiful cloths. Definitely recommend!

Every single one in our group of 25 was AMAZED!!!
This location is absolutely a must for anyone who wishes to feel and touch the authenticity and the true craftsmanship spirit of the ordinary people’s life in Italy, as well as their lifestyle soaked with millennials history.
You’ll be delighted by a homey and friendly atmosphere, and will find absolutely unexpected and surprising connection of the craftsmanship to the arts of Leonardo da Vinci or Giotto.
The history, tradition and the art-form of the Italian textile and weaving, which had been carefully and honourably preserved by Brozzetti family, is as rich and breathtaking as the Italian history itself.
Finally, not only learning and exploring about the authenticity of the traditional craftsmanship art, but also the opportunity to touch, experience and personally feel a demonstration of the creation process gives an exceptional and deep insight into the Spirit and the continual History of life in Italy.
Absolutely a must!!!

This location is pretty far from city centre, so a little hard to get to without a car. It is really interesting however. It is probably best to phone ahead to make sure that someone will be there. Also known as "Marta's workshop", it is located in the decommissioned Church of San Francesco delle Donne. If you get a chance to visit while the looms are in use it would be really interesting - we were just able to walk around and look at some of the weavings and looms in the building. There is also a small gift shop.

A highlght of our time in Perugia! We came across this active workshop in an old Franciscan church taking a different way home to our apartment. What a fabulous surprise! We spent a very pleasurable hour or so looking at the machinery, textiles and talking with Marta and her apprentices.
One apprentice was recreating a beautiful and intricate pattern made for a client twenty years ago using silver thread. It is indeed a skilled and absorbing traditional artisan craft! The complexity of the process from design, making the 'punch cards' setting up the machinery and actually hand weaving is amazing. Such a precious craft to retain.
We bought some beautiful pieces to take home as gifts for family and so glad to find something so authentic to share with loved ones at home.
We wish all the best to Marta and her apprentices in the future. Such craftmanship deserves to be retained and celebrated!

After reading about Marta and her work on Trip Advisor we made sure to add it to our list. We loved our visit and Marta kindly demonstrated how her beautiful and unique textiles are created. Her english was great and she was so inviting and excited to share her talents. She has two beautiful dogs who we couldnt help but pat and smile as they followed her around the studio.
I would recommend this experience to any one visiting Perugia and make sure you purchase a momento of your visit. Each piece is so unique and special because of the skill required to make it. Thanks Marta!

Such enthusiasm and hard work! Marta loves what she does and can enthuse anyone with her weaving skills and knowledge. It was a beautiful building, and amazing textiles are produced slowlythere. The amount of work involved is amazing. I bought a beautiful and unique scarf there, along with cards which will be mounted as mini works of art! Lovely dogs as well, such characters and so well behaved.

As someone who loves craftsmanship, I was blown away by this exceptional workshop/museum in Perugia, which is housed in a stunning Franciscan church. Marta, who manages the venue, comes from a long line of textile weavers. Her knowledge and passion infuse visitors with a deep appreciation of the traditions her family has kept alive. Marta will provide a fascinating guided tour in English, and I cannot thank her enough for fitting my small group in when she was frantically busy. Please visit this gem in Perugia.

Buona sera, mi chiamo Luigi Colocucci.
Vorrei sapere se è possibile fare la visita al vostro museo con un piccolo cane tenuto sotto braccio in un apposito trasportino a tracolla.
Grazie della cortese attenzione.

Gentile Luigi,
i cani sono ben accetti nel nostro laboratorio, io personalmente ne ho due e stanno con me tutti i giorni.
Visto che uno dei due cani è giovane, le chiedo gentilmente di avvisarmi prima di entrare, in modo tale che possa metterla in giardino (è una cagnetta molto esuberante!!).
Spero a presto,
Marta
