Explore the history of this ancient tradition of Catanzaro and touch with your hands through a ring path all the stages of processing of this precious fabric. Silkworms, after long years of inactivity, have returned to live in S. Floro and for each seasonal breeding they are found in thousands to graze the freshly harvested mulberry leaf, giving us the joy of discovering the mystery that surrounds them in the silk cocoon. It is in our interest to divulge this alchemy of nature, showing the new generations a phenomenon discovered over 4,200 years ago by a Chinese princess.
