Masters of Silk
The mulberry groves and silk workshops of Lake Como and the Lombard plain supply the courts of Europe with the finest silk cloth available, and our weavers have refined the production process to a degree that foreign competitors struggle to replicate. We protect this advantage by regulating the export of raw silk and the techniques of our master weavers, ensuring that the value-added work stays within our borders rather than leaving as cheap raw material. This control over the full production chain turns silk from a local trade into a steady source of revenue that holds its value even when other commodity prices fall.
