Hidden in the shadow of the Molino Stucky, within a former red brick convent called San Biagio, lies a secret garden that gives access to the workshops where Mariano Fortuny's patented machinery is still in use. These spaces, hidden from view by large curtains, are the secret heart of the textile maison that is now the last factory in operation in Venice. Here, the public can see materials, designs, fine fabrics, and fashion accessories on display. To safeguard the secret processing techniques developed by Mariano Fortuny, visitors are not allowed inside the factory. However, the showroom is open to the public on weekdays, and the factory gardens can be visited by appointment.
