THE TYPES
The Ollolai weavers produce a variety of baskets: from the corves to the cherrigos (one metre in diameter with 20 cm sides), from canisteddas to the small coinzolas.
The baskets that today we regard almost exclusively as artistic-handicraft objects, were and are used to carry food like sweets, bread, pasta and legumes.
