Fabric.

In addition to its valuable wines, Montefalco is known in the world of art for its fine fabrics, made according to traditional methods mostly using natural fibres like linen and cotton. With the typical "Jacquard", a fabric characterised by a particular richness and texture, such products are made as sheets, bed covers, towels, curtains, tablecloths and tea towels. The decorative motifs recall various cultural environments and artistic movements: they are generally geometric patterns, designs dating to the Romanesque period, alongside such traditional motifs as the lyre, birds and flowers, similar to the ones adorning the beautiful historic fabrics housed in the Museum Complex of San Francesco in the minor arts and hand-made objects room. The fabric collection consists mainly in liturgical hangings and altar cloths, cushion covers and fragments of cross stitch and line stitch embroidered fabric. There are many shops where one can admire and purchase these special textiles, not only in Montefalco, but by now found throughout Umbria.
