It will be my father Roberto and my mother Rita, <strong>in 1989,<\/strong> who will apply all the knowledge and skills of our designers and embroiderers to the field of sacred art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I<strong>n 2016, I, Benedetta, also decided to join the family business,<\/strong> attracted by the beauty of a hand-embroidered artifact and the relationship of friendship and esteem that my parents have always had with their customers.<br>Our company <strong>specializes in the creation of hand-embroidered sacred vestments. <\/strong>While keeping in mind the important tradition of sacred art, we continually <strong>explore <\/strong>the many <strong>combinations <\/strong>that the world of textiles offers, <strong>combining ancient embroidery techniques with fabrics <\/strong>made by the most prestigious Italian weaving mills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aware that sacred vestments are &#8220;signs&#8221; that must have their own language in the liturgy, <strong>we create our products by searching for beauty and attention to detail.<\/strong> In this search, we cannot disregard our spirituality, we cannot separate our work from who we are. That is how our churches, the listening of scripture, and testimonies are for us a source of inspiration as well as a chance to deeply understand liturgical symbology.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"cgb-gallery-1\" class=\"cgb-gallery\" style=\"--cgb-columns:2; --cgb-gap:8px;\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Galleria immagini\"><button class=\"cgb-gallery__item\" aria-label=\"Apri immagine 1\" data-index=\"0\" data-full=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MG_0887-1-e1684230567512.jpg\" data-caption=\"\" type=\"button\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MG_0887-1-e1684230567512.jpg\" alt=\"La famiglia Arte Ricami\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1388\" height=\"1198\"><\/button><button class=\"cgb-gallery__item\" aria-label=\"Apri immagine 2\" data-index=\"1\" data-full=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/la_nostra_azienda.jpg\" data-caption=\"\" type=\"button\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/la_nostra_azienda.jpg\" alt=\"Casula ricamata a mano in canutiglia oro\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1584\" height=\"1056\"><\/button><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our purely artisanal structure and the <strong>completely handmade manufacture<\/strong> of our products allows us to meet special requests, <strong>made-to-order vestments and realizations with customer designs.<\/strong> Getting to work on a chasuble for ordination or a vestment designed for a particular occasion always fascinates us a lot. Listening to seminarians as they tell us about their vocational journey and thus their desire to include on a garment symbologies or <strong>signs that recall a particular devotion or the path they have taken,<\/strong> makes us realize the <strong>important role our handiwork plays i<\/strong>n the liturgy.<br>Giving hand embroidery a new meaning, namely that of customization and flexibility toward customer requests, allows us to keep this art alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years <strong>we have had the honor of making custom-made vestments for Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis <\/strong>and we still supply the most important Churches and Basilicas in the world, including St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica in Rome. In Italy and Europe we supply specialized stores of sacred vestments. If you would like to come to <strong>our showroom in Fosdinovo to meet us in person <\/strong>you can write to us and make an appointment. I will be happy to introduce to the big Arte Ricami family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benedetta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"cgb-gallery-2\" class=\"cgb-gallery\" style=\"--cgb-columns:3; --cgb-gap:8px;\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Galleria immagini\"><button class=\"cgb-gallery__item\" aria-label=\"Apri immagine 1\" data-index=\"0\" data-full=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MG_1043.jpg\" data-caption=\"\" type=\"button\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MG_1043.jpg\" alt=\"cardinale vestito con casula arte ricami\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1198\" height=\"1797\"><\/button><button class=\"cgb-gallery__item\" aria-label=\"Apri immagine 2\" data-index=\"1\" data-full=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MG_0389-scaled-e1682528245209.jpg\" data-caption=\"\" type=\"button\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MG_0389-scaled-e1682528245209.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\"><\/button><button class=\"cgb-gallery__item\" aria-label=\"Apri immagine 3\" data-index=\"2\" data-full=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Inscatolamento-scaled-e1682528190288.jpg\" data-caption=\"\" type=\"button\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.artericamiliturgico.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Inscatolamento-scaled-e1682528190288.jpg\" alt=\"Camice a gigliuccio con un giro e croce\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"980\"><\/button><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arte Ricami is a family-run business based in the ancient medieval village of Fosdinovo (Tuscany).
