Notes | This is one of a group of watercolours by Estella Canziani in the Birmingham Collection. They are particularly valuable in providing documentary information on the clothes and associated lifestyle of the local people living in remote villages in Northern Italy.
'At Scanno the plaited thread which is put round the wrist or neck at Cocullo is used as a devozione, and is put on before pilgrimage. The peasants touch the statue of St.Domenico with it, and then the priest blesses it.' (Abruzzi, p242-243)
| | Presented by Estella Canziani, 1931. |
