GIUDITTA BROZZETTI WORKSHOP MUSEUM
In the fascinating and unique context of the Church of San Francesco delle Donne in Perugia, the memory of ancient weaving techniques is preserved, with which even today timeless fabrics are created that carry with them the history of art and the Umbrian territory.
The Giuditta Brozzetti Atelier Museum is one of the last hand-weaving workshops in Italy where it is possible to admire ancient looms from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in operation and learn about their history.
A history not only of techniques, but also of decorative motifs already present in the paintings of Giotto, Ghirlandaio, up to Leonardo da Vinci: an ancient history that has reached today thanks to the work of women and the figure of Giuditta Brozzetti, who at the beginning of the twentieth century founded the laboratory/school with the intention of giving new life to the glorious Umbrian textile tradition.
