THE SPINNER OF CARAGLIO

Built between 1676-1678 by silk entrepreneur Giò Gerolamo Galleani, the Filatoio Rosso in Caraglio has survived without undergoing substantial changes. It is organised in regular shapes around two internal courtyards and is characterised by its cylindrical corner towers located on the sides of the facade and by the rich decorations in stucco and terracotta, an exceptional feature for this kind of building.

The Filatoio will be open until March 1 on the following days and at the following times for guided tours: Thursdays and Fridays at 3:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays at 10:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m., 4:30 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.
