The Portal includes a rich collection of information about the tapestry’s world, including: · Tapestry’s history · Jacquard manufacturing technique · World wide events about tapestries · Glossary of most common terms · Do’s and Don’ts · Guide lines for evaluating the quality of a tapestry or a border · Newsletter and Press Room The Studio Magnaghi team who developed the site, was helped by the deep experience and knowledge of Mr. Giorgio Dall Benetta, General Manager of the company, who supplied all the information about manufacturing techniques and evaluation criteria about the tapestry’s quality. The portal contains also a rich tapestry gallery, collecting some traditional subjects typical for Jacquard tapestries. The portal will also be part of the project “Art Valley”, promoted by the City of Florence, by BVE (Banca Virtual Europea) and by Assointernet, to describe the intersection e among the sectors of Art, Technology and Economics.
