Lisio's legacy stands out for his precious fabrics, a richrange of velvets and brocades woven on hand-operated Jacquard looms by time-honoured techniques and in the patterns that characterised various eras, from the Middle Ages through the 1800s; he drew much of his inspiration from the works of Italy's best-known artists: Giotto, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Angelico, Veronese and others.

Our ancient hand-operated looms give form to precious figured, looped- and cut-pile and ciselé velvets and brocades woven with silks, gold and silver, in the classical patterns handed down by textile tradition, as new creations designed to client specifications. These designs are translated into finished fabrics with the creativity of our designers, the rigor of our historians, and the expertise of our weavers. One of our strong points is the ability of our master weavers – and skilled technicians – to conserve and breathe new life into these ancient, fascinating ‘machines’ and to adapt them to any need as it arises.
