In the ancient Convent of the Piarist Fathers dating back to the seventeenth century, with its long vaulted passageways barrel and large white arches, there’s the small and precious Maratè. A Museum that hands down the art of Sardinian fabric and copper craftsmanship. A path that nods to the roots of the fingers of the weavers, hands from which the practices and knowledge of a unique tradition were born and passed on. Then work tools, the voices and secrets of women who have turned a necessity into beauty. The tapestries and precious fabrics made with gold thread, copper, raffia, twine, linen and wool prove it. Isili, in the southern Sardinian hinterland, represents the balance between innovation and the history of the island.
