    Tips

    October 23, 2023

    The Weaving Museum is a space dedicated to craftsmanship. It is possible to see master weavers at work working with vegetable fibres, such as giummarra, disa and rush, creating ancient objects that are still used today.

    The weaving of the giummarra, or dwarf palm, typical vegetation of the reserve, allows, from its processing, the creation of various objects, such as zimmili and cannistra, artefacts of the daily peasant life of the past.

    However, the Museum is embellished with other souvenirs. Hats, rings and necklaces obtained from the use of some seeds and the famous crow's nests, today used as bags and finished with fabrics and other decorations. Ancient techniques, tradition and memory of the local peasant civilization that continue to be handed down.
