You know those all colored beads, with a slightly folk taste?
There is a big comeback in the use for DIY accessories.
It is called
'fuseruola'
and has a curious history: it is one of the
smallest
hand-made
tokens of love
.
Made of terracotta, wood or stone, this ancient tool for spinning typically Umbrian as early as the fifteenth century kept messages of love in Latin that the lover commissioned for his beloved.
The artisans sometimes made fun of the clients: if they were poor and ignorant people, such as farmers and shepherds, they painted the spindle with the name of the beloved written wrong, for example “Antonieta”, with only one “t”.
La Mi'Cocca by Antiche Fuseruole Deruta at Abilità Vicenza, the Italian Exhibition Group's Creative Ideas Exhibition held in Vicenza until Sunday 17 October, tells the story of these objects, which at the end of the nineteenth century changed use and became elements of embellishment for decorate the tassels of the pillows. Today they are re-proposed as accessories, jewels, key rings and brooches, maintaining the tradition of a good omen messenger for loved ones, with phrases from famous people, such as that of Frida Kahlo, "Not as who always wins, but as who does not give up mai ”, by Alda Merini,“ I am not a tameable woman ”, or by Luis Sepúlveda,“ Only those who dare fly fly ”.
It is one of the trends that I can inspire in Abamente Vicenza 2021 between imaginative jewels and pocket travelbooks, between passion and curiosity for a
universal
Do It Yourself culture
.
