Maglificio Gran Sasso inaugurates the Accademia d’Eccellenza dell’Artigianalità e del Rimaglio (Craft and Linking Excellence Academy), putting a sharper focus on the manufacturing tradition and projecting itself into a future that embraces the principles of Italian craftsmanship and intelligently contributes to the development of creativity in the new generations. This initiative is aimed at talents in the fashion industry and those seeking employment, providing an opportunity for the valorization and enhancement of the art of knitting, which has always distinguished Maglificio Gran Sasso and has contributed to making the firm a synonym of Italian artisanal quality worldwide.
The purpose of the Academy, therefore, is to pass on the secrets and techniques of craftsmanship, in a continuous combination of tradition and technology, so that craftsmanship and rimaglio (linking) could earn full recognition as forms of art and Italian excellence.
The first year of the Rimaglio course has recently concluded producing excellent results, with almost all the participants employed by the company. This essential data once again highlights the strong bond that ties Maglificio Gran Sasso to the territory in which it operates. Made in Italy is an indispensable resource for manufacturing high-quality garments, and the artisanal manual tradition is a value that must be passed down from generation to generation.
