A traditional weaving loom stands ready in the TrasiMemo craft room of Palazzo Baldeschi. Palazzo Baldeschi in Paciano (Umbria) is more than a historic landmark – it’s a living hub of local artisan culture. This restored 17th-century palazzo houses the TrasiMemo “Bank of Memory” museum and workshop space, dedicated to preserving the area’s rich crafts heritage .
