VESTMENTS

Provost Museum of Saint Vincent’s Community, via Annoni 3, Cantù

Tue - Sun 9.30 a.m./12.30 p.m. - 2.30 p.m./6.30 p.m

The Parish of Saint Paul, part of Saint Vincent’s Community, created a museum devoted to religious objects. There, among vestments, liturgical objects and pictures of saints, bobbin lace is on display. Lace-edged albs, surplices and rochets were once worn by priests and prelates to emphasise the sacredness of their actions. Most of the times, lace makers from Cantù gave their works as gifts to the Church on special occasions and feasts.

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.
