During your guided visit you will discover an ancient Venetian weaving mill, whose foundation dates back to the end of the 19th century.
Inside the building, you will find original 18th century looms that give proof of the great tradition behind the products. The velvets and brocades of the Venetian weaving mill are famous all over the world as they are required for the furnishing of important palaces and for collaborations with fashion houses as well as for expositions and exhibitions.
It’s a unique chance to see weavers and looms at work, while they produce the refined soprarizzo velvet, and to touch with your own hands a fabric made following ancient techniques.
