Como has owed its wealth and culture to silk for centuries, and even today the most delicate phases of the processing of this fibre, unique in its resistance and quality, take place in the Larian territory.
Today, Como silk is synonymous with exclusivity and style and is the object of desire of the most prestigious luxury brands.
Silk is a protein fibre produced from the slime of an insect, the Bombyx Mori, and is used to make fine fabrics.
It was during the 18th century that silk production in Como became industrial; in 1840, mulberry trees, the plants that silkworms feed on, covered 93% of the cultivated surface in the Como area. In the past, it was peasant families who took care of silkworm breeding and spinning mills and weaving mills arose everywhere.
