Siena Ricama

Frommer's Review
Signora Bruna Brizi Fontani is a bundle of energy and full of stories in her little embroidery/needlepoint store, Siena Ricama, Via di Città 61 (0577-288-339). She spends so much time amiably gabbing with visitors to her workroom and shop, I wonder when she finds the time to finish all the wonderful lampshades and other objects--every last one stitched by Fontani herself. They're inspired by medieval Sienese art: the Duomo floor, illuminated manuscripts, the frescoes of the Lorenzetti brothers, and anything else that catches her fancy from art history books and the local museums.
