The new workshop is situated in via Gaspare Aselli, n° 79/83.
Situated in via Gaspare Aselli at n°88, in a 17th century building,
originally used for cloth-dyeing , and still today you can find some of
furnaces used for boiling the dyes, on account of this the ancient name of the street in via Tintoria ( dyers'street ).Right under the workshop runs a very old acquaduct named "La Cremonella" from Roman time which is still accessible by a stairway found at the end of the courtyard and most probably was the access to water for those workers and residents of that courtyard , such as for laundry .
Directly behind the workshop is to be found the house or more precisely the work-place of the famous family of architets "Campi" ( as seen on the map). The panelled wooden ceiling remains well preserved , each panel containing thematic illustrations with different animals (sometimes monstrous) birds and humans dating back to mid 15th century.
