Tessanda, St. Maria
The Tessanda is a hand weaving mill in Val Müstair. It has existed since 1928 and is one of the most important training companies in the valley.
A pastor called Rudolf Filli started the Tessanda in an attempt to stop the exodus of young people from the valley. Keeping to the traditional technique of the hand loom, the Tessanda tries to expand its product range to such items as silk goods.
