Antica Bottega Pascucci of Forli


This fascinating factory is a typical example of a form of ancient fabric stamping which has been operated by the Pascussi family since 1826.
This unique art form uses tradional moulds hand carved on pear wood which are beaten onto fabrics.
The unmistakable rust colour is obtianed with a blend of iron oxide, white flour and vinegar.
The owner is an ex Rotary President of Luca and he generously gave the team members a small gift of his unique work.
