  • Impiraressa Marisa Convento, who establishes herself inside the Bottega with her own laboratory,
  • NasonMoretti glassworks
  • Ercole Moretti
  • Marsilio e Lineadacqua publishing houses
  • the ancient Toscolano 1381 artisan paper mill and other artisan realities that will be added little by little.
