The village of Metsovo, called Amintziou in the Vlach language, is
one of the most famous traditional settlements in Greece. Nestled
in the heart of the Pindos mountain range, Metsovo owes its fame to
the beauty of the landscape and the uniqueness of its hand-woven
textiles. This book deals with the secrets of the weaving of
Metsovo, which are presented in a simple, yet elegant manner. The
subject is not only treated from a strictly technical and aesthetic
point of view, but consideration is also given to the various
interpretations of it, its symbols, and role of weaving as a factor
in the everyday life of Metsovo. Representative examples of
domestic textiles and traditional costumes from the Collection of
the Laographic Museum of the Baron M. Tositsa Foundation are
described in succinct, authoritative texts, accompanied by
impressive, lavish illustrations, which introduce us to the beauty
of the art and tradition of the weaving of Metsovo. A final section
includes detailed drawings and descriptions of the decorative
motifs and designs used in the woven textiles.
