The Giuditta Brozzetti Weaving Studio was established in 1921 by its founder, Giuditta Brozzetti, who wanted to organize the ancient handcraft of handweaving in the region. Here in the Umbria region of Italy this tradition dates back to the Twelfth Century. In the past, the women of Umbria, working in their homes and in convents, hand wove the fabrics that were used to decorate homes and churches. The patterns used today at the Giuditta Brozzetti Weaving Studio are authentic reproductions of designs from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, masterfully crafted using the same tools and techniques that have made these works famous worldwide. Today the weaving studio is located in the 13th century church of "San Francesco delle Donne".

Cari Amici,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to join us for classes at the Giuditta Brozzetti Weaving Studio, in Italy. The weaving studio is located in the historical center of the city of Perugia. The most important university for foreigners is located close by, where Italian language classes are available year round. Perugia, historically a very important Medieval city, possesses many important masterpieces of art and architecture. Perugia is the ideal city to visit and relish, while taking a course in weaving, embroidery or lacemaking.
Best wishes,
Clara Baldelli-Bombelli
