An original art book focuses on the rose window,a famous architectural feature sets on the façades of the most famous Gothic and Romanic churches in Umbria. Looking over the splendid photos and in-depth descriptions of each of them, everybody can appreciate the aesthetic dimension and the infinity of symbols and deliciously curious stories they conceal.

The publishing work is connected with an exhibition of a selection of a hundred items of the Caprai Collection, all of them related to the zoological theme. This is a study of the presence both in needle and in bobbin laces, in filet and in white work embroideries of real, imaginary or mythological animals, of birds and insects, to try to find logical, symbolic, historical, magical explanations.
