Woven basket from the Aspromonte area in Reggio Calabria

This woven basket from the Aspromonte area tells the rural story of Reggio Calabria, where daily life is shaped by work in the fields and the rhythm of the seasons. Made from natural fibers such as reed and wicker, it began as an agricultural tool but preserves artisanal knowledge passed down from generation to generation. Its simple yet sturdy structure reflects a deep relationship with the land and the materials it provides. Taking it home means preserving an authentic fragment of Aspromonte culture, where coast and mountains intertwine into a single identity.
