Villa d'Almè, nestled on the banks of the Brembo river a few kilometers from Bergamo, is the cradle of a centuries-old tradition, that of Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale which for over 150 years has intertwined the stories of local families with those of flax and hemp, in a combination of tradition and innovation. From the artisanal process, the passage of the industrial revolution transformed know-how into manufacturing excellence thanks to linen machinery and continuous research. The journey of linen and hemp begins in the fields and ends with the production of fine yarns. Each phase of this process is handled with skill: from sowing to flowering, from harvesting to maceration, up to scutching and classification. The machine room, the beating heart of the company, is the place where the raw material is transformed into high quality yarn. Linificio is not just a company, but a heritage of knowledge and traditions. Today, Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale is recognized as one of the most important producers of linen yarns in the world, B Corp certified and included among the 100 Italian Excellences.
