A 1905 illustrated magazine article describing the lace school founded by Countess Cora di Brazzà at Santa Margherita (San Vito) in the Friuli region of Italy. It covers how peasant girls learn bobbin lace, their earnings, the moral and cleanliness training, the annual prize day, and the national cooperative society Le Industrie Femminili Italiane, which sells women's lace and other crafts. It also mentions a summer school for women established that year. Photographs show the lace school, pupils at work, the village and park, and a detail of a linen tablecloth with imitation Genoese lace border.
