Before purchasing any kind of souvenir, I recommend you ask where it was made. Many items appear to have been made in Italy or Sicily, yet in fact, they were made somewhere else… far, far away. There are beautiful, handcrafted items that are made in Sicily, sometimes that were crafted following centuries’ old traditions. These items, like this linen place-mat with the needlework details, are the truly unique souvenirs–something you won’t find anywhere else, and that you’ll be able to talk about for years to come.
