Silkworms are bred and silk is spun in NIDO DI SETA, the Silk Nest. A 2-hour guided tour shows you the history in the museum located in the old castle, takes you to the field where mulberry trees grow and where you can watch the breeding of caterpillars and the production of silk. A unique experience.

Calabria is the only region in Italy where the entire silk industry survives. In San Floro there is a museum that tells the story of silk spinning. And a group of young people opened a cooperative a few years ago that has restarted silkworm breeding and silk production.
