And I come from afar.

Where: fumane
(Molina)
Genre: culture   nature   folklore   

A place known for its waterfalls, for the naturalistic park and for the ancient mills, it knows in the new generation of inhabitants the desire to put the ancient crafts back on the market. The idea comes from herbaceous or arboreal dyeing recipes and from the breeding of sheep, from which milk, lambs and wool are obtained. Lessinia bewitches visitors by tempting them to live slowly, in close contact with nature. A prodigal nature, where dyes can be found from the hulls of walnuts, chamomiles, cochineal and lantana. Raising sheep and alpacas induces respect in processing the precious yarn which is treated with care, also with the aim of a sustainable use of water. The circle among the animals, the vegetable garden of dyeing plants and the painted hands of the owner, closes on a product with warm and lively colors, chemically inimitable. Walking in the small stone village, among the climbing roses and the roar of the waterfalls from the mountain ridges, it seems that time has stopped. Instead, it is the millenary roots that unchanged push towards a biological and sustainable future.
