Summary/Abstract: The Loom takes us in ancient times when, for the women in our villages it was the most important occupation during winter. They did not weave for making money, but to adorn their houses with towels and carpets, and to put on, for the important holidays, the most beautiful costumes. In our modern times, in full transformation, this art is a true promoter of the traditional cultural elements, carrying along the efforts of earlier generations and keeping intact the memory of an unmatched patrimony.
