Craft

Leather processing is one of the typical artisan activities you can find in Tolfa, including saddles, such as the Maremma bardella, horse harnesses, horse-riding accessories, and the popular bag Catana.

This bag, which became fashionable in the 70s as the ‘Tolfa bag’, dates back to the herdsmen tradition. It was the haversack used in the countryside including all the ingredients necessary for making acquacotta.

Pottery is another well know craft here, also thanks to the projects with the Scandinavian communities in Tolfa.
