I am very cloudy myself on what they were doing in Venice/Burano between the great period of Gros Point and the revival. I know Levey claims that they were making ecclesiastical lace for a while in the Gros Point/Venetian needlelace tradition but then that the industry died out. But Cencia Scarpariola, the elderly lace maker who was the last survivor and passed down the skills to the revival industry must have been making something in her youth. What did it look like? Devon
