Opened in 1926, is carrying on one ancient Venetian craft.

The tour will continue with a visit of the most prestigious fabric manufacturer of Venice. Textiles have been realized here for the White House as well as for Kremlin.

The secret of their production is the use of original 18th century looms. You will be told about the history of the fabric and the ancient Venetian tradition of textile, while watching weavers working.
