In the heart of Umbria, the city of Assisi attracts visitors from all over the world not only for its rich religious history, but also for its artisanal tradition rooted in time.
Among the cobbled streets and historic squares, you can discover a myriad of craft shops that keep alive ancient techniques and produce unique works of art.
Embroidery: an art that resists time
One of the treasures of craftsmanship in Assisi is certainly embroidery. This ancient technique, handed down from generation to generation, sees the expert hands of embroiderers create wonderful patterns on fine fabrics. From detailed religious embroidery to floral artwork, each piece is a masterpiece of patience and craftsmanship.
Carved wood: an expression of craftsmanship
Another form of art rooted in the cultural fabric of Assisi is wood carving. Local artisans transform simple tree trunks into intricately carved works of art. From the decorated frames to the sacred furnishings, the carved wood is an expression of the inspiration of the masters who reside in Assisi, which reflects the deep connection of the city with nature and faith.
Ceramics: enchanting colours and shapes
The art of ceramics has a long history in Assisi, with its roots rooted in the ancient Etruscan tradition. The vibrant shades and elegant shapes of Assisa ceramics capture the attention of anyone passing by the local artisans' workshops. From dishes decorated with religious scenes to hand-painted tiles, each piece exudes the passion and creativity of its creators.
A treasure of art and tradition
Assisi is much more than a city of stone and history; it is a lively centre of art and craftsmanship that continues to thrive in the modern world, always keeping its link with the past.
Through many forms of art, the artisans of Assisi preserve and celebrate the ancient traditions, creating works that enchant and inspire.
