Weaving history: traditional willow basket-making. Just a few kilometres from Bagni di Pisa lies Casa Gentili, an age-old residence on the banks of the River Serchio. Here you’ll learn the secrets of traditional willow basket-weaving. This timeless skill will take you back thousands of years and teach you how useful, beautiful objects can be crafted from a humble material. Spend the day in a place where time stands still, amid historic rooms and wonderful gardens. Break for a buffet lunch made with locally-grown produce, then finish off your day by taking home a basket you’ve woven with your own hands.
