The Art of Embroidery

The meeting with embroidery teacher ANTONIETTA BARGELLINI is part of the art exhibition: “Tribute to TRACY CHEVALIER”

The Art of Embroidery

To pay tribute to the novel by author Tracy Chevalier, *The Embroiderer of Winchester*, we have invited embroidery master ANTONIETTA BARGELLINI, who will help us understand the passion, value, significance, and some techniques of embroidery, while also showcasing some of her exquisite creations.

We’ll have the pleasure of chatting with her about this ancient art form, which is now gradually disappearing, and about the novel that provided the inspiration for our reflection and prompted this event.

At the same time, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the enchanting exhibition of works created by artists inspired by the author’s various novels; as you read the quotes that served as their source of inspiration, you’ll find yourselves on a journey through art, literature, and elegant embroidery.
