Sustainable Silk Scarf 45 Optical Albèri II

Every item in the We Wear Art collection is a marriage of sustainability, innovation and traditional craftsmanship completely Made in Italy. This project brings to life the immense breadth of Italian cultural expression and history in silk scarves certified GOTS. 

This design is the reproduction of a Fresco present in the Albèri Library in Orvieto, Italy. The studio of Archdeacon Antonio Albèri in Orvieto was inspired by the Piccolomini Library of Siena, both adjacent to their respective Duomos. These two academic havens constitute a unique and singular example of libraries attached to a cathedral. The cycle of frescoes, made between 1501 and 1503, are attributed to the workshop of Luca Signorelli. Albèri’s library housed around 300 volumes in its impressive book collection, unfortunately dispersed over the centuries.

Scarf in 100% Italian organic silk certified GOTS with hand-rolled edges. As this scarf is hand-rolled, the dimensions indicated may vary. 

A percentage of each purchase will be donated to the Opera of the Duomo of Orvieto, thus contributing to the preservation of its priceless assets.
