Cordani Velluti

The view leaves you breathless – from the top of the Aurelia, the seaside village of Zoagli and, to the right, the Gulf of Portofino. Here, since 1849, smooth and worked velvets made from 100% silk have been woven by hand on ancient wooden looms – this is one of the world’s last weavers of this kind still in operations: its velvets arrived all the way to the White House, requested by J.F Kennedy.
