Merletto a tombolo from the aquilana tradition — authentic souvenir of L'Aquila€15–€120

Merletto a tombolo from the aquilana tradition in L'Aquila

Merletto a tombolo is a decorative textile made by intertwining threads on a cylindrical cushion called a tombolo, using small wooden bobbins. The work is done entirely by hand through a slow and precise process that allows artisans to create complex ornamental patterns.

The result is a light yet durable lace characterized by a regular structure and geometric or floral designs. Each piece is unique, with variations that reflect the direct handwork and the artisan’s skill.

It can be used as a decorative element for the home or preserved as a handcrafted object.
