Mangano (Old cloth printing workshop)
Cloth has been printed in this shop since 1600, using the same colours, the same methods and the same wooden blocks inherited from traditional local decorative art. The cloth is smoothed using a "Wheel Mangle" made of wood and stones which dates from the 17th century. In terms of weight and size, it is the only one of its kind, still existing in the world.
