A 1914 article from International Studio by Elisa Ricci, translated by Miss C. Macfarlane, on the revival of lace-making and needlework in Italy after the mid-19th-century decline. It traces the revival of Burano point lace in Venice in 1872, the Aemilia Ars society in Bologna and its reticello lace, and the Industrie Femminili Italiane cooperative founded in Rome in 1903. Illustrated with photographs of needlepoint lace, coverlets, cushion covers and crochet from the Aemilia Ars, Beccadelli and Maraini workshops.
