PLACE REPRESENTED: Montenars , Italy

ITEM: Wall Ornament

NOTES: A magnificent souvenir celebrating the town of Montenars in Italy’s northern Alpine region (in the Province of Udine in the Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia). The souvenir depicts a climbing pick and rope (naturally enough for the area) with a excellent inlay containing a picture of the town, assorted flora and a miniature traditional Alpino hat common to the area. Wonderfully evocative and from a time when souvenirs had a little thought.
