<\/figure>The young and flexible olive branches, in particular, were worked, intertwined and twisted to make baskets, bread racks, baskets. Containers used for the collection of fruit and vegetables, for drying figs and tomatoes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In many of our historic centers it is still possible to admire the skill of the craftsmen who create small works of art with a very poor material.

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFortunately, there are still many people who use the art of weaving, thanks to the renewed interest in typical craftsmanship and the enthusiasm with which many young people approach this tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, in Minervino Murge, Enza Tricarico, a young and enterprising basket maker, has taken up the ancient art of braiding to create unique handmade products: baskets, boxes, bags ... all manufactured with great creativity and the smart use of raw materials found in her own land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, in Minervino you can admire and buy baskets of all sizes from Vincenzo Carlone's Cesteria Rurale artisan workshop, a true institution in the art of braiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
