The oldest millinery workshop in Rome
Once I was strolling down a little street in Prati neighborhood in Rome and a particular shop window captured my attention, nested between a tourist guide shop and a coffee shop. There were beautiful hats hanging around but what really struck me were the racks of hat wooden shapes I noticed through the window.
I thought it was a lovely display and I immediately wanted to see more behind that door.
Inside, the shop leads to the workshop on the back and it opens to a millinery heaven.
