Ntrizzi
Weaving and handmade pasta workshops, yoga in the Sila
Weaving together
In the Longobucco dialect, “Ntrizzi” means braiding, weaving. In 2022 eight friends from seven different countries bought an old house in the village that had stood empty for years, looking out over the mountains.
The ground floor has become a workshop for local crafts, talks and events: the workshops are led by local artisans and creatives and take place in the Ntrizzi house.
The workshops
At the loom, following the principles of traditional weaving, you make a small tapestry from recycled fabric scraps and coloured threads. In the kitchen you learn to make ferretti, Calabria's fresh pasta rolled by hand around a thin rod, with tomato sauce and Signora Maria's secret recipe.
For wellbeing there is outdoor yoga, in a meadow looking out over the forests of the Sila National Park: 45 minutes of restorative vinyasa and 15 of sound healing.
