THE ACADEMY
Accademia d'eccellenza dell'artigianalità e del rimaglio
(Craft and Linking Excellence Academy)
The enhancement of the art of knitting
Supporting the talents in the fashion industry
Tradition in a new light, projecting as a protagonist into a future dominated by the values of craftsmanship and Made in Italy workmanship. It is from these premises that Maglificio Gran Sasso created the Accademia d'eccellenza dell'artigianalità e del rimaglio (Craft and Linking Excellence Academy). Aimed at talents in the fashion industry and those seeking employment, this initiative provides an opportunity for the valorization and enhancement of the art of knitting, which has always distinguished Maglificio Gran Sasso and contributed to making the firm a synonym of Italian artisanal quality worldwide.

The purpose of the Academy
The purpose of the Academy, therefore, is to pass on the secrets and techniques of craftsmanship, in a continuous combination of tradition and technology, so that craftsmanship and "rimaglio" (linking) could earn full recognition as forms of art and Italian excellence. This gives rise to unique garments characterized by high quality, creativity and personal skills: the elements that make up authentic craftsmanship.

Made in Italy, a vital resource
The excellent results achieved so far - at the end of the first year of the Rimaglio course, with almost all the participants employed by the company - have once again highlighted the strong bond that ties Maglificio Gran Sasso to the territory in which it operates. Made in Italy is indeed a vital resource for manufacturing high-quality garments, and the artisanal tradition is a value that must be passed down from generation to generation.
