Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah held an evening reception to celebrate the end of it's 14th Annual Cultural year at the Al Americani Cultural Centre last Wednesday. Guests were invited to explore the lovely historic building and discovered presentations related to Dar Al-Athaar's past, present, and future. My favourite sections were: 1) the old photos installation of AMH, as shown in the above photo. And the Mezzari exhibition shown in the below photos.
The Mezzari showcased ancient Italian artistic fabrics, dating back to the late 18th and 19th centuries. ''Mezzari" became popular by the middle of the eighteenth century, when in Genoa women used them to cover themselves or as headdresses.
