Offida. Monumento alla Merlettaia

2022

It is a bronze monument, created in 1983 by the sculptor Aldo Sergiacomi from Offida. It is placed at the entrance to the town to testify to the great importance that bobbin lace has in Offida. It is in fact a very ancient art that is handed down from generation to generation, allowing the creation of real handcrafted masterpieces. The monument highlights the continuity of tradition, representing three generations in comparison: from left to right the elderly grandmother who carefully follows the work of the young mother and the child, very busy learning the first processing techniques.
