Spoletine Silk
The mulberry groves of our valley have fed silkworms that supplied the finest weavers in the Papal States for centuries, and the resulting Spoletine silk reached the altars of Rome and the wardrobes of courts as far as France and the Habsburgs. Our merchants built a prosperous burgher class on the back of this trade — one with enough surplus to educate its children and enough political sense to keep the guild networks running through every succession of papal governors. This luxury craft tradition fills our treasury from foreign demand and sustains the middling commercial class whose stability is the surest foundation of our peace.
