It’s not by chance that Busatti- Sassolini’s workshop is located right in the middle of italian geografical center and in the heart of italian Renaissance.
Piero della Francesca, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Guido Monaco as well as Saint Francis were born within the range of 100 Kms (62 miles).
Their workshop has no artistic pretensions of course, but it reveals the now centuries- old experience and refinements of the people who work there, with great skill and passion.
It has always been here, in the vaults of Palazzo Morgalanti, with its sobre sixteenth century style.
Then, owing to market requirements, it has enlarged, but the pledge has always been “never disown the origins, the taste and the quality”.
Ancient carding machines work the wools of the Appennine mountains, which strech between the Tiber and the Arno rivers.
Shuttle looms, sons of the first industrial Revolutuon, slowly insert weft-threads giving to fabrics that softness nowadays lost.
Skilled hands finish and embellish these products with hemstiches, embroideries and laces.
