Monumento alla Merlettaia

The bobbin lacer Monument is a bronze monument realized by local sculptor Aldo Sergiacomi in 1983. It is located at the entrance of the town as a symbol of the importance which bobbin lace holds in Offida. This is, in fact, a very ancient tradition allowing the creation of real handmade masterpieces which has been passed down from generation to generation. Thus, this monument represents the continuity of tradition by confronting three generations: the old grandmother who carefully attends the work of the young mother and the child, fully immersed in learning the basic techniques of production.
