I have read that there is a small fabric shop in Monticchiello, making and selling beautiful products. Does anyone have any information on this shop - the name, the location, the hours of operation? Thank you for any help.
Ah, the miracle of google. Here you go:
The name of the store is Rappuoli Fidia and it carries (among other things) fabrics by Busatti.
From the Busatti website:
Beautiful hand made fabrics made out of precious fibres.
Through the years up to nowadays, Busatti proposes antique weaving and manufacturing techniques which distinguishes the firm.
Here's the address information:
Rappuoli Fidia
Via di Mezzo 35
53020 Monticchiello - Pienza (SI)
Tel +39 0578/755002
No website and no hours posted for this store.
But check out a bunch of other stores that carry the same line of fabrics throughout Italy:
Michael, thank you. I have goggled it several times but never came up with the wealth of information in your reply. I am looking forward to visiting the shop. There seems to be no end to the questions that can be answered on this website!
