CAISSA | The Chess Beach Towel

Our CAISSA Chess Beachtowel is here to make your days at the beach or the park more fun, while challenging family and friends to a game worthy of the ancient gods.

The name Caissa refers to a mythological nymph or deity introduced in an Italian poem called Scacchia Ludus, published in 1527. In this story, we hear about a game of chess between the Roman gods Mercury and Apollo.
Later, in 1763, a poem written by Sir William Jones makes her officialy become the Goddess of Chess. To this day, Caissa is still referenced by chess players, who play the game in a careful and specific way, in order to avoid the wrath of the Goddess.

Made in our Roman Atelier using 100% premium italian cotton sponge and headstock cotton on top.
