On Valentine's weekend, at Piegaro, a town of just over 3.000 inhabitants in the province of Perugia, the first two workshops with master glassmaker Roberto Andolfi took place. The goal? “Making your own house number in glass”, responding to the project launched by the Umbrian municipality, in collaboration with the local Arci club and the Glass Museum.
The initiative aims to enhance the cultural heritage of Piegaro and the millenary relationship with glass and its processing. Residents are thus called to create their own glass tiles, adorning the historic center with a material that has managed to stem depopulation, continuing to represent a crucial source of income for the territory.
The project has the dual aim of promoting tourism that is attentive to culture and the environment and of enhancing the seeds of Piegaro, strengthening the link between territory, citizens and productive activities.
The next appointments with the laboratory, open to all residents, are scheduled for March 22 and April 27 at 15.00:XNUMX pm.
