A new educational project has begun in the municipality of Calascio, created thanks to the “Rocca Calascio – Luce d’Abruzzo” project funded by the PNRR. The initiative has led to the creation of the ISTÓS School of Advanced Training dedicated to weaving and the processing of wool and plant fibres. From May 2025 through 2026, courses and workshops in the fields of textiles and traditional craftsmanship will be offered, promoting the knowledge, enhancement, and innovation of local textile practices.
