13 th International Lace Biennial

Cantù: october 15 - 29 2017

Possibly more now than in the past, women seek spaces of their own, private spaces where they can find concrete ways to express their sensitivity, refinement and even their sensuality.
In these spaces lace is the true protagonist – as it has to be for what is beautiful and able to charm, amaze and seduce. Indeed, lace is a concrete element which makes every woman extraordinary and makes her feel an imagined, possibly dreamt-of silhouette.

Churches in Cantù can boast a vast array of laces which far exceed similar collections in other Italian towns, and in several cases they have maintained an historical continuity and a bond with the local territory which has been lost by other artifacts preserved in private and public collections.
