Sorrento, Campania | | Date: 1931 | | Notes: Hand crochet place mats of Marisa Pastore's mother, Mrs. Immacolatina Guida (The wedding took place in 1931). The size of the place mats are similar to modern-day ones; however, the matching smaller ones (about 6 inches long by 4 inches wide) are no longer in fashion -- back in the 1930s guests placed their coffee cups on them.
