THE TAPESTRY WEAWING MILL

The restored remains of the old Carthusian Monastery, built centuries ago on the surroundings of the Asti town by the "Vallombrosani" monks, and later passed on to the Carthusian monks

                                    

who lived there until the Napoleonic age.
The Carthusian Monastery was abandoned and partly demolished.

                                          

Approximately forty years ago it was restored

                                                  

and now is used by Mr. Ugo Scassa both as "MUSEUM"

 

and "FACTORY OF CONTEMPORARY TAPESTRY".

                       

 

The one of the few of tapestry weaving mills still active in Italy..
