Cultural heritage
Curiously there are no pictures of Erasme de Gònima (1746-1821), a leading figure in the textile industry in 18th-century Catalonia. The son of a wool weaver from Moia, he started off as an apprentice in a factory in Carrer Talleres and eventually became its technical director. Thanks to his good social contacts and ability for business, he ended up managing his own printed cotton fabric factory in C/ Riera Alta in 1783. The factory was bombed during the Spanish Civil War, but the house in Carrer Carmen was left unscathed and remains to this day.
