From Elisa Ricci: Old Italian Lace, Vol. II London, Philadelphia 1913:

"At Sansepolcro in Arezzo, ten years or more ago, the two daughters of the village schoolmaster learned from an old foreign woman how to make bobbin-lace. To-day, by virtue of these industrious, clever girls, a lace-school of pure Italian bobbin-work flourishes exceedingly at Sansepolcro, being one of the best in the land. "
