Bevagna With your hands

Four medieval workshops still working in Bevagna

Bevagna

Bevagna keeps its medieval trades running inside the old town, and not as a display: somebody is making paper, candles, colours and silk while you stand in the doorway watching.

How the day goes

  1. The paper mill, where cotton rag comes apart and goes back together as a sheet.
  2. The chandlery, beeswax going into candles, and the smell that fills the street.
  3. The painter's workshop and the silk works, colour made from what was to hand.
  4. Pick a single one, or walk between all of them across the old town.
