The Ethnographic Museum of Casasco Intelvi presents a one-of-a-kind exhibition, dedicated to the ancient artefacts recently found in Val d'Intelvi. The exhibition, organized by Friends of the Casasco Intelvi Museum, represents a window into the past, allowing us to better understand the education and role of women in the society of the past.

We read in the presentation – In an era that seems very distant today, it was essential for a girl to learn to embroider. The parapet, a simple piece of fabric, was the first approach to this art, on which the young people learned to make their first stitches and designs. Embroidery was not just a decorative practice, but an important skill passed down from generation to generation, often from mother to daughter, or taught in schools as an essential part of women's education. This knowledge was seen as preparation for the future role of women dedicated to the family.

“In Lombardy – explains the President of the Association Alfredo Zecchini – this first teaching was often entrusted to the nuns of the local nursery schools, who with patience and dedication guided the girls in their first steps in the world of embroidery. This educational method not only provided the young people with precious manual skills, but also represented a moment of sharing and cultural transmission. Today it is a form of culture and tradition that still keeps us linked to the Intelvi Valley".
The exhibition will be inaugurated on August 1st at 4.00 pm in the music room, in the former municipal building of Casasco, in the municipality of Centro Valle Intelvi. The event offers the opportunity to admire the learned goods up close, true witnesses of local history and the daily life of women of the past.
