quadretti

Updated: May 20, 2025

Here, under the shadow of the monastery, booths and benches stand in rows, arrayed with the produce of the country-villages, shoes, rude implements of husbandry, the coarse woven fabrics of the contadini, hats with cockades and rosettes, feather brooms and brushes, and household things, with here and there the tawdry pinchbeck ware of a peddler of jewelry, and little quadretti of Madonna and saints.
