Traditional handicraft was born from necessity: the need to create what you need. This is why our ancestors began using natural materials they found locally, then traded these handmade objects for foodstuffs, tools and garments.<\/p>\n

In those days, people gathered at the onset of the new farming year in order to sell items they had made during the winter months: thus, traditional handicraft fairs originated from these regular gatherings. <\/p>\n

What was Aosta\u2019s Fair of Sant\u2019Orso like at the beginning? Very different from today: it lasted just one day and at that time the climate was milder, in fact, 31 January marked the end of the cold season.<\/p>\n

The fair was also smaller: it thread its way from the Arch of Augustus to the Praetorian Gates, and fewer artisans took part.<\/p>\n

The Fair of Sant\u2019Orso is a historical, yearly appointment that has been repeated for over a thousand years. To mark each fair, a different pendant is made and worn around the craftsman-exhibitor\u2019s neck, and often becomes a sought-after collectors\u2019 piece \u2013alike to the posters advertising the event. <\/p>\n
