Alessandra Branca, our Saturday speaker, was especially excited about Mercato... with the Italian thing, you know. We can always count on gorgeous Italian pottery and beautiful pieces from Mercato!

These sketches were magnificent! Morando Morandi was a professor of art at the famed Florence Academy of Fine Arts. All works are dated between 1895 and 1905. The drawings and watercolors certainly make up a fascinating and handsome collection...
