First off- Thanx for the info on the hinge eye bender. Is it best to always start with pre-cut blanks?

Second- I'm soon off to Italy for several weeks and plan on conducting my own 'blacksmith's travel album'. While I have not seen the book that goes by that particular title, I would like to ask:

1. Who was the Italian Art Nouveau master and which cities are his works in?
2. Any other 'must see' areas, piazzas, towns, etc. 

Mucho Grazie,

Steve Howell

Lucky dog. "Wrought Iron in Architecture" by Gerald K. Geerlings has a
chapter on wrought iron highlights that were available to be found in
Italy during the 1920's. Most of the work is identified well enough that
you can track it down yourself. If your local library doesn't have a
copy  you can get one from Centaur.  While you're at the library check
out the excellent article on iron in art in Encyclopedia Britannica. 
The Britannica article breaks down the evolution of the art by country
and century and identifies specific examples and locations.  Happy
hunting!!
