Artistic workmanship: Ars Canusina

Artistic workmanship: Ars Canusina

The iconographic traces of the Canossa tradition, an original expression of Romanesque art typical of the territory that received the cultural imprint of Countess Matilda, inspired this modern form of applied art at the threshold of the 20th century.

Today the applied arts of Ars Canusina are represented by the production of a few artists, descendants of the ancient tradition of local artisanship, who work in refined workshops applying their different techniques: embroidery, decorated ceramics, gold jewellery, copper ware and stone sculpture.
