Basilicata, Marianna d'Aquino_FENDI Baguette hand in hand 2_02


The hilltop city of Matera is home to the Italian artist Marianna D’Aquino, who practices the art of decorative hand-knotted pile carpets, an artform that has existed for millennia. For her Baguette, D’Aquino worked on a frame loom to create a playful two-tone surface of red knit with stripes of white tufted wool.
