Isotta’s Sweet Bag
By Giulia Manfredini On 13 May 2014 In Giulia's Designs, Designs, Etsy Shop, Pillows and Sewing Sets
The designs, as well as the other Isotta’s pieces (Isotta’s Sampler Pillow, Isotta’s Strawberry Pincushion and Fob, Isotta’s Biscornu) were created for the International Show of Lace and Embroidery 2007, held in Rimini, Italy.
To honour the town and the show, I studied Rimini’s history and traditions.
Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta was the Seignior of Rimini from 1432.
He was not only a bold warrior, but also a poet and patron of arts.
He was in love with his third wife, Isotta degli Atti, whom he met when she was only thirteen.
