THE TRADITION OF PORTOFINO LACE
The age-old tradition of making bobbin lace still survives to this day in Portofino. Rent a Jaguar in Portofino and explore the streets to find the makers of this beautiful craft. Search under the arches and in the small quaint stores. From young girls to old women, you will find them sitting under the ancient arches in front of their three-legged stands and working at high speed, bobbins flying over the pillows creating the most intricate and magnificent lace creations. Seek out the display of finished items that drape window sills, old bridge railings and lamp posts. Bargain and buy a souvenir to take home! It will become a keepsake to be passed from generation to generation.
