Museo del Tessuto - The Prato Textile Museum

The Prato Textile Museum is a testament to craftsmanship.  This craftsmanship is the very thing that Italy has become world-renowned for having perfected and perpetuated long past the Industrial Revolution.  It reminded me a lot of the video we saw while touring the Gucci Museum of how Gucci handbags are made.  The meticulous attention to detail, the individual concentration on each piece - all of these things made Italy famous beginning in the 1950s.

The museum was a beautiful example of the Italian tradition, and was a wonderful place to experience the quality and timelessness of hand-crafted materials and quality that lasts.
