Whatever led you here, do stick around. We have a story of courage, determination, art and marvellous coloured threads to share with you. This art adventure had its beginning in the heart of Piedmont, after 70 years of speaking to the world. Silvana Cincotti , Art Historian
Over time, the Arazzeria Scassa has paved its own artistic path, uniting various pictorial routes, reinforced by Ugo Scassa’s instinct for an extensive period of time. Amongst the artists most loved by the Asti tapestry maker, selecting from the various national and international names, we find that of an artist born in Switzerland, ever attentive to the importance of colour and who managed to develop a personal style influenced by Expressionism, Cubism and Surrealism: Paul Klee.
