The Aracne Project partners visiting our Atelier Treesure
18 February 2026 • Events
On the occasion of the final meeting of the Horizon Europe Aracne, we welcomed our European partners to the Atelier Treesure to present one of the main results of the project, which led to the opening of the Atelier Treesure in the 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢 of Villa 𝙇𝙖 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙖.
The Atelier houses a 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲, which is now the last one in Europe still working for the continuous processing of silk: an original Nissan machine from the 1970s. During the visit, the partners were able to see it in operation, observing closely a production process that preserves historical skills and knowledge intact. Visitors were then able to touch the 100% Italian silk produced by this silk reeling machine to make our Treesure jewellery.
