Exhilarating watching a journalist nail a PM to the wall

LB — Fri, 15 Jan 2016 19:40:17 +0000

“Haste doesn’t live here,” says one sign on the door. Another inside says “Nothing in this room is for sale.” An Italian woman named Chiara Vigo is the last living master of the ancient textile tradition of spinning “baysuss” or silk produced from the fibres exuded by a giant mediterranean mollusc.
