The important production of woven fabrics in Umbria dates back to medieval times. In fact, the tablecloth depicted in Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Last Supper is Umbrian.  Montefalco and Spoleto produce exquisite  fabrics,  decorated with traditional medieval and Renaissance motifs, for making tablecloths, towels, bedspreads, curtains and other home furnishings. The area around Lake Trasimeno is famous for lace and needlework. 

Umbria also has numerous small industries that produce fine cashmere, wool, silk and cotton wearing apparel for international fashion designers,  many of which are open to the public.
