Article by Eva Lovett describing the Scuola d'Industrie Italiane, a lace and embroidery school for Italian immigrant girls at 28 Macdougal Street, New York, modeled on the Industrie Femminili Italiane schools in Italy. It covers the founding of the school, Carolina Amari's role, the Burano lace revival, working conditions and wages, and the stitches taught (punto reale, punto riccio, reticella, punto traforo, filet darning). It closes with a short history of the move from embroidery to reticella and pillow lace. Illustrated with photographs of reticella covers, pillows, bags and a copy of a Roman blouse.
