LACE AND EMBROIDERIES WITH FAMILY DESIGNS

The island of Procida expresses considerable treasures of craftsmanship.

Some of which are deeply rooted in local culture, such as the delicate signs of the lace and embroideries that identified the bride’s trousseaus: jealously kept in the drawers of the furniture, they held the memory of a more and more rare tradition. After all, each embroidery has a history and connotes a fundamental “belonging”. Knitting and crochet works are still very popular today, after having been used for a long time for the production of clothing and home textiles. In particular, there are those who use crochet to create earrings of various models and multiple colours, with fine threads and cottons, embellished with accurate jewelry applications: original objects, whose fame has found its ample space in magazine and specialised journals. On the island there is also a production of ceramics in sunny and marine colours of orange, blue and yellow: cups, glasses, ladles, plates, jugs and pieces of furniture.
