What happens when you mix age-old traditions with the passion of modern entrepreneurs? Join us as we uncover the inspiring story of Miriam Pugliese, co-owner of Nido di Seta, who left the bustle of Milan to breathe new life into Calabria’s ancient silk industry. Miriam, along with her partners Domenico and Giovanna, transformed a forgotten silk museum and mulberry orchard in San Floro into a thriving hub of traditional silk production, blending historical techniques with sustainable practices. Their mission is to show the world that Calabria is a land brimming with potential and opportunities.

Discover the intricate process of silk production, from the life cycle of silkworms to weaving on ancient looms, and learn how you can experience this firsthand at their museum. This episode is a treasure trove of personal stories, regional beauty, and the untold history of Calabria’s once-thriving silk industry.
