Assisi embroidery

Assisi embroidery is a traditional Italian needlework style originating from the town of Assisi. It involves intricate embroidery techniques, often using silk threads and gold accents, to create detailed floral, religious, or decorative motifs. The craftsmanship emphasizes delicate shading and fine line work, resulting in elegant, textured designs typically applied to textiles like vestments, banners, or ecclesiastical garments. Assisi embroidery reflects a rich heritage of religious artistry and skilled handiwork, combining pattern repetition with artistic detail to produce visually sophisticated and historically significant textile decoration.
