An article on the cross-stitch embroidery of mountain villages in central Italy, where girls embroider cotton kerchiefs with love-sonnet borders and symbolic motifs given by sweethearts. It describes the old "Santa Croce" linen samplers worked in red cotton, from which about 200 designs were collected, and lists common love and religious emblems. The scan also includes the end of a separate article on woven bags, with warp and color details.
