Milan (Italy) July 23td 2001 - The first Vertical Web
Portal completely dedicated to tapestries, sponsored by the historical
manufacturer of tapestries and borders E. Dalla Benetta Srl of Cassago
Brianza (Lecco - Italy) finally has its English version, at the address:
www.edb-tapestry.com
The Italian portal, presented at the exhibition Proposte, held on May
in Cernobbio, has conquered the Italian press and Internet users, as is
demonstrated by the conspicuous number of published articles and daily
accesses to the site (www.edb-arazzi.it).
The Portal includes a rich collection of information about the tapestry's
world, including:
· Tapestry's history
· Jacquard manufacturing technique
· World wide events about tapestries
· Glossary of most common terms
· Do's and Don'ts
· Guide lines for evaluating the quality of a tapestry or a border
· Newsletter and Press Room
The Studio Magnaghi team who developed the site, was helped by the
deep experience and knowledge of Mr. Giorgio Dalla Benetta, General Manager
of the company, who supplied all the information about manufacturing techniques
and evaluation criteria about the tapestry's quality. The portal contains
also a rich tapestry gallery, collecting some traditional subjects typical
for Jacquard tapestries.
Within the next months, the portal will keep grooving, following these
main directions:
· Opening of a section about the tapestry Art: most famous works on tapestry,
a world wide map of museums which have the best collections of tapestry…
· Opening of a section about the interior design and furnishing: monthly
suggestions on how to put and rearrange the tapestry in our houses (which
sizes are the best, how to select the best subjects depending on our furniture…)
· New tips for the Do's and Don'ts section
· Creation of a community interested in discussing and meeting around
the beautiful world of Tapestries
The portal will also be part of the project "Art Valley", promoted
by the City of Florence, by BVE (Banca Virtuale Europea) and by Assointernet,
to describe the intersection e among the sectors of Art, Technology and
Economics.
