English: San Michele Manufactory started in 1710 as a workshop in the Hospital San Michele in Rome at the instance of Pope Clement XI, who engaged tapestry weaver, Jean Simonet of Paris, Andrea Procaccini the painter, and three other skilled workmen. From the year 1717 until 1770, Pietro Ferloni was the director of the papal manufactory. Victor Demignot was the principal weaver and later he became director of the Turin workshop. Ferloni died in 1770, leaving Giuseppi Folli as successor, while Felice Cettomai was papal tapissier. Philippo Percoli became director in 1791. Another director, Pietro Gentili, wrote a history of Italian tapestry.
