Christmas Markets

Semiprecious stones are the most beloved material for the artisans in the last years. Specially because it's possible to find the stones easily. In many cases, you find just common pieces that come from the Asia. Sometimes, they are beautiful, other times -as we are just accustomed to see them. But in the far villages, in these godforsaken corners, there are still very interesting local artisans. They offer their works during the feasts like Christmas markets.

 I visited  one of these markets some days ago when partecipated on trekking long the streets of little medieval villages over Sorrento. It is really very hard for those artisans that have to earn their bread with this work. It is difficult in great centers -imagine how hard is the life of those who lives so far from the beatten paths.

In any case, when you find these markets, look at the objects with attention: it's possible that you will find special and very interesting pieces.
