It's magic, and beautiful...

Beautiful! Thank you, CBS Sunday Morning

The digitized world of today's artisans leaves out the tactile sense that makes the process and products special. Creating by hand is more meaningful I think.

Donna Woodford true ! Hand made is gonna come back

I'd love to go back to Florence and hang out for at least a week.

[@angelicas152]

I love this. How the artist are still going strong there! I also love Lisa T Bergren book series River of Time and one of the cites prominently mentioned! The other being Siena.

In the 90's I worked for Blick Art Materials. We sold lists of that marble paper to scrapbookers, framers, and those who do various crafts.

AWESOME

[@debbralehrman5957]

Here's hoping they don't loose anymore and they there would be a Renaissance of new artist to learn and keep things going.

This is why Daniel Day Lewis became a cobbler in Italy

[@jeanneamato8278]

Could have been longer.

It's such a beautiful machine designed by Leonardo DiCaprio. How can people not know more about it, shame!
