“Textile artist and weaver working from an ancient mill outside Arezzo. Sofia's hand-loomed silks and linens blend centuries-old Tuscan weaving traditions with her own distinctive sensibility — creating textiles that are at once deeply traditional and unmistakably modern.”
THE STORY
Sofia Marchetti grew up watching her grandmother weave on a wooden loom that had been in the family since the 1840s. That loom — restored, restrung, and still in daily use — sits at the center of her workshop in a converted grain mill on the banks of the Arno, just outside Arezzo.
After studying textile conservation in Florence and contemporary textile design in Milan, Sofia returned to the countryside to build a practice that honors both worlds. Her textiles use only natural fibers — Italian linen, Tuscan silk, Casentino wool — and natural dyes drawn from the plants and minerals of the Valtiberina.
Every textile begins with the selection of raw fiber. Sofia sources her silk from one of the last small-scale Italian sericulture farms, her linen from the flax fields of the upper Arno valley, and her wool from Casentino sheep — a heritage breed whose fleece has been prized since the Middle Ages.
The fiber is hand-dyed in her workshop using plant-based dyes: walnut hulls for brown, pomegranate for gold, indigo for blue, and madder root for the rich Sienese red that has become her signature. Each batch produces subtly unique colors, ensuring no two pieces are identical.
Sofia sees weaving as an act of patience. A single table runner takes three days on the loom. A silk scarf, a week. She accepts this pace as the price of quality — and as the gift of a practice that connects her, thread by thread, to generations of Tuscan weavers before her.
