Laboratorio / Atelier Manifattura

In Porcia, in the province of Pordenone, a stone's throw from the castle and Lake Burida, there is the Conceria Pietro Presot, which has been tanning vegetable leather since 1933, in the name of sustainability. Large work tables and modern machinery contrast with years of artisan tradition; the tannery has always supported the excellence of Made in Italy, becoming the official leather supplier for the boots of the mountaineers of the Italian expedition to K2 in 1954.


After a brief historical introduction to the site where the Pietro Presot Tannery operates, the visit develops through the areas where the transformation of cow hides (processing residue from the agri-food industrial cycle) into leather takes place.

It is difficult to say what is more fascinating: the tanks that are over ninety years old, where the leather must rest, the dryer, walking among piles of leather waiting to be transformed or the reflection on the water in the pond outside the tannery, where we read: “Ha futuro memoria” (installation by Matteo Attruia). The Presot Tannery has had a unique atmosphere since 1932, the year in which vegetable tanning of leather began. A reality in the heart of Porcia, a few kilometers from Pordenone, which reached the peaks of the Himalayas, with the expedition to K2 in 1954. Presot is the surname that founded and has guided this reality for four generations and which continues, respecting matter, environment and people, the family business. An industry that supplies leather for high fashion houses and which has the sensitivity of art in its nature.
