<strong>di</strong>dattico<br />
del<strong>la</strong> <strong>Seta</strong><br />
<strong>Como</strong>
Aperto nel 1990 il <strong>Museo</strong> è<br />
stato voluto a giusta testimonianza<br />
del<strong>la</strong> storia del<strong>la</strong> seta<br />
a <strong>Como</strong>, segnale tangibile <strong>di</strong><br />
una continuità fra passato e<br />
presente <strong>di</strong> una industria che<br />
mantiene il primato rispetto<br />
al mondo intero. Si estende su<br />
una superficie <strong>di</strong> ca. 900 mq<br />
ed è situato nello stesso stabile<br />
del<strong>la</strong> scuo<strong>la</strong> tessile <strong>di</strong> Setificio.<br />
Nell’atrio si è ricreato l’ingresso<br />
<strong>di</strong> una fabbrica, esponendo<br />
preziosi orologi timbracartellino.<br />
Nel<strong>la</strong> sa<strong>la</strong> centrale, dopo un accenno all’allevamento<br />
del baco e al<strong>la</strong> trattura, si possono ammirare strumenti<br />
<strong>di</strong> preparazione al<strong>la</strong> tessitura: macchine per <strong>la</strong> fabbricazione<br />
<strong>di</strong> licci in cotone e <strong>di</strong> pettini, foracartoni,<br />
duplicatrice, or<strong>di</strong>toio a sezione.<br />
Un interessante piantello a pancia in fuori del 1870<br />
con 288 fusi testimonia <strong>la</strong> fase del<strong>la</strong> torcitura.<br />
Nel<strong>la</strong> sa<strong>la</strong> tessitura campeggiano due te<strong>la</strong>i a mano,<br />
uno jacquard e uno a doppia ratiera con lettura del<br />
<strong>di</strong>segno ad assicelle, un or<strong>di</strong>toio per cimosse ed un<br />
lisage dell’Ottocento; <strong>la</strong> presentazione si conclude con<br />
il te<strong>la</strong>io meccanico Omita del 1922.<br />
Successivamente si entra nel<strong>la</strong> sa<strong>la</strong> controlli e misure<br />
che presenta un’interessante collezione <strong>di</strong> apparecchi:<br />
<strong>di</strong>namometri, torcimetri, bi<strong>la</strong>nce <strong>di</strong> precisione, aspatrice<br />
e provinatrice.<br />
Quin<strong>di</strong> si passa al <strong>la</strong>boratorio chimico,<br />
fedelmente ricostruito con<br />
mobili e strumenti d’epoca.<br />
Si accede poi al locale de<strong>di</strong>cato<br />
al<strong>la</strong> tintoria dove trovano spazio<br />
una barca per tingere i tessuti,<br />
una piro<strong>la</strong> in rame per i fi<strong>la</strong>ti, vari<br />
attrezzi ed un cavigliatoio.<br />
Nel<strong>la</strong> stamperia si incontrano <strong>la</strong><br />
cucina colori, il doppio fondo, utilizzato<br />
per cuocere gli addensanti<br />
e misce<strong>la</strong>re i coloranti; un tavolo<br />
da stampa a tampone con una vasta<br />
collezione <strong>di</strong> p<strong>la</strong>nches in legno<br />
e metallo; un tavolo da stampa a<br />
mano con quadri, luci<strong>di</strong> d’epoca<br />
e attrezzi per <strong>la</strong> fotoincisione. La<br />
stampa a cilindri è rappresentata<br />
da partico<strong>la</strong>ri macchine per campionature,<br />
da cilindri in legno e<br />
in rame finemente incisi. Un’a<strong>la</strong> è<br />
riservata ai modellini <strong>di</strong> macchine<br />
per stampa a quadri e rotativa.<br />

L’ultima sa<strong>la</strong> è de<strong>di</strong>cata alle operazioni <strong>di</strong> finissaggio<br />
dei tessuti: <strong>di</strong> grande interesse un’antica macchina lignea<br />
per <strong>la</strong> realizzazione dell’effetto moiré su seta, una<br />
plissettatrice e un imponente palmer del 1932.<br />
The Silk Museum opened in<br />
1990 to present, while there<br />
was still the opportunity, a<br />
true account of the history of<br />
the silk industry in <strong>Como</strong>. It<br />
is a tangible sign of the continuity,<br />
from past to present,<br />
of an industry that operates<br />
an absolute world-wide monopoly.<br />
The Museum covers<br />
an area of about 900 square metres and is located<br />
in the same buil<strong>di</strong>ng as the textile school, the<br />
Setificio.<br />
The Approach to the Museum is reminiscent of<br />
the entrance to a factory, with<br />
an evocative collection of works’<br />
time-clocks.<br />
In the Main Hall, reference is made<br />
to the art of silkworm bree<strong>di</strong>ng.<br />
Also on <strong>di</strong>sp<strong>la</strong>y are machines that<br />
were used during the stages prece<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
weaving. They were variously<br />
employed. One knitted the<br />
cotton heddles, through which the<br />
warp is passed in the loom. The<br />
next made the punched cards for<br />
Jacquard patterns. Another made<br />
sectional warps.<br />
An interesting piantello, a double<br />
deck twister used from 1870s, with 288 bobbins,<br />
facilitates the twisting phase.<br />
In the Weaving Room we can see two hand-looms.<br />
One is for Jacquard method of weaving. Here the<br />
instructions, for the figuring of the silk as it is<br />
woven, were given by means of punched cards.<br />
The other is a<br />
doppia ratiera,<br />
which reads the<br />
design through<br />
the use of wooden<br />
pegs. There<br />
is also a warper<br />
for making the<br />
selvage, which is<br />
the edge of the<br />
fabric, and an<br />
18th Century rope lisage that made piped edges.<br />
The presentation ends with the 1922 mechanical<br />
loom from Omita.<br />
We enter another room de<strong>di</strong>cated to the control and<br />
measurement of yarns and fabrics. Here we are presented<br />
with an interesting array of fine instruments:<br />
dynamometers, twist counters and ba<strong>la</strong>nces.<br />
Then we come to the real heart of dye-printing, the<br />
Chemical Laboratory, faithfully reconstructed using<br />
original furniture.<br />
When we enter the Dyeing Room we see a dye vat for<br />
fabrics, a copper kettle for yarns and a number of<br />
tools, inclu<strong>di</strong>ng one precious dowel.<br />
In the Printing Room we meet with the doppio fondo,<br />
the Colour Kitchen. This was used to blend the dyestuff<br />
for thickening and to cook them. We can also<br />
see a printing table with a wide selection of wooden<br />
and metal printing blocks and a hand printing table<br />
with screens, transparent foils and engraving tools.<br />
Roller printing is represented by machines for making<br />
samples and by engraved rollers in chromed<br />
copper. A further section is reserved for the <strong>di</strong>sp<strong>la</strong>y of<br />
models of small mechanized machines for f<strong>la</strong>t printing<br />
and for roller printing.<br />
The <strong>la</strong>st room is devoted to the special finishing of<br />
textiles. Of particu<strong>la</strong>r interest is a pleating machine,<br />
an old wooden machine which created the moiré effect<br />
on silk, and the important 1932 palmer.
