One of its first items is to promote and valorise the culture of the artisan, artistic- activities of the territory of Assisi and in particular the typical and traditional hand-made embroidery “PUNTO ASSISI” and “ MADAMA CATERINA”.
From 2000 the academy is organising lectures of embroidery of Punto Assisi and Madame Catering in its laboratory situated in Via Metastasio 18 in Assisi.
The final intent is to give to the young and the less young the possibility to learn a fine Art, which is disappearing, (supplanted by machine), the opportunities of a change, experiences, dialog, collaboration socialization and a point meeting under the sign of an elegant womanly art.
