Historical Crafts are part of our Made in Italy, too: the Cereria Medievale di Bevagna

Jun 06, 2024 152

In the little town of Bevagna, Umbria, we find an example of long-lasting Made in Italy craftsmanship, established almost 800 years ago. The Cereria Medievale di Bevagna, founded in 1250, carries its age with nonchalance. As part of the broader cultural initiative within the Mercato delle Gaite, this workshop revives the ancient art of candle making, preserving techniques that date back to medieval times.

With its history and commitment to tradition, the Cereria embodies artisanal excellence and reflects the profound respect for tradition that Italy is known for. This workshop, integral to the local community and its history, offers a window into the past while also demonstrating how historical practices can be preserved and adapted to modern times.
