Campolmi Filati has its origins in the haberdashery shop opened in the 1930s by Emilio and Ida Campolmi, while their son Giampaolo decided to specialise in yarns in 1954.
The shop is located in the old kitchens in the former Santa Maria Nuova Hospital, founded by Folco Portinari, father of the famous Beatrice sung by Dante Alighieri, in 1288.
The ground floor, intended for sales, is characterised by a single room furnished with wood and metal furniture, displaying the products.
The Campolmi company has been continuing and handing down the ancient tradition of the Art of Wool for generations, producing its own yarns for the knitting industry, for the loom and for hand knitting.
