Aemilia Ars, established in 1898, was a unique blend of artistry and social enterprise. The workshop offered women the opportunity to earn a living through fine lacemaking, using traditional techniques and incorporating contemporary designs. Countess Lina Bianconcini Cavazza, a driving force behind the initiative, ensured that women could work from home, fostering a balance between work and family.
