Great story--- and the work is incredible. Maybe it's just my experience, but Elena and Margherita's progression-- leaving to pursue professional opportunities in Milan, London, etc. but then at a certain point returning to the family's artigiano business-- seems much more common in Italy than in a lot of other countries, the US included. It's a beautiful thing really, because they bring not only new energy but a fresh aesthetic perspective as well.
This article was wonderful. I am a stained glass crafter and love seeing glass artisans creations.
Thank you for sharing their passion and website info!!

Yes, that does seem to happen often in Italy! I’m always fascinated by those stories.
