Giuditta Brozzetti Museum and handweaving workshop

Il Laboratorio di tessitura a mano fu fondato nel 1921 da Giuditta Brozzetti che, assieme ad altre donne di spicco dell’epoca, rappresentava un caso di imprenditoria femminile emblematico. Drawing on the local custom of producing homemade textiles for domestic use and bridal trousseaus,

Giuditta gathered together a collection of Perugian and other Umbrian designs and patterns and thereon opened a weaving-workshop and school for the production of high-quality textiles.

Her skills and passion for handweaving were passed down through four generations and now, a century after its foundation, artistic textiles with designs inspired by Umbrian Medieval and Renaissance weaving traditions are still produced here (using 18th and 19th century wooden looms). The workshop is housed in the atmospheric surroundings of a deconsecrated church, Chiesa di San Francesco delle Donne (1212), and in 2004 joined the Sistema Museale della Regione Umbria (Umbria Region Museum Network).
