Frola is a fraction of the municipality of Olmo al Brembo, located at 595 m a.s.l. and made up of 89 inhabitants.

In this small hamlet there is and still "resists" a passionate basket maker / basket maker, Mr. "Paolì" = Pauline who carries on this ancient craft with passion.

The existence of the art of weaving is documented by numerous archaeological researches since the Neolithic, and perhaps even earlier.

That of weaving is therefore one of the oldest manual arts practiced by man.

Historically it anticipates the production of ceramics and gives way to the technique of weaving.

Today it is an ancient craft and an integral part of history and traditions, which is now in danger of being forgotten.

The basket maker is an expert and skilled craftsman in the creation of various artifacts, baskets, baskets, panniers and more.

It is a profession that reminds us of our past and the fatigue of our ancestors who, every day, made by hand without technological aids, but only with ingenuity and effort, objects for everyday life.
