HISTORY

When Friuli has been included into the Republic of Venice around the beginning of Fifteenth century, a lot of manufacturing processes and products have been influenced by the Serenissima, among them we remember silk production. In the following centuries it became one of the leading productions of the Region, so that all territory was involved in the mulberry planting with a lot of silk farming, the rearing of silkworms for the production of silk. The production went on until the mid of 20th century when family farmers still had their own silkworm and confered the cocoons to specialized centres.
