La nuova Scuola di Perfezionamento della tessitura a Calascio

A new educational project has begun in the municipality of Calascio, created thanks to the “Rocca Calascio – Luce d’Abruzzo” project funded by the PNRR. The initiative has led to the creation of the ISTÓS School of Advanced Training dedicated to weaving and the processing of wool and plant fibres. From May 2025 through 2026, courses and workshops in the fields of textiles and traditional craftsmanship will be offered, promoting the knowledge, enhancement, and innovation of local textile practices.

ISTÓS is the pilot project of the “School of Advanced Training in Weaving and Related Crafts”, created within the framework of the cultural, social, and economic regeneration project of the village of Calascio, “Rocca Calascio – Luce d’Abruzzo”. The project is funded through PNRR funds – M1C3, Measure 2 “Regeneration of Small Cultural Sites, Cultural, Religious and Rural Heritage” – Investment 2.1 “Attractiveness of Historic Villages”. CUP: I24H22000520001.
