Lace Making Museum
The Museo del Tulle 'Anita Bellischi Grifoni' is located in the small town of Panicale near Lake Trasimeno in Umbria.
This museum is dedicated to the art of lace making, but in particular to Anita Bellischi who was born in the town in 1889 and became famous for her craft.
Deruta Ceramics
Deruta, the town of ceramics, owes its origins as a centre for ceramic production to the easy availability of 'argil' or clay from the surrounding hills and the alluvial deposits of River Tiber. The first documents mentioning the 'land of earthenware close to territory of Torgiano' date from 1296, but it seems brick, tile and terracotta production stretches back to ancient times.
