Perfect item to represent Italy

Hi all,

Could anyone suggest an item which I could buy to best represent Rome and Venice to bring back home after my trip?

Thanks!

I am a big believer in "knowing it when I see it". Something will surely "speak" to you. Buon viaggio.

We buy Christmas ornaments on our travels, and every year when we put up our tree we remember all the places we've been. We found some great ornaments in Rome.

I bought a pretty pair of earrings made of glass in Venice.

Just one thought bottlenoss, a beautiful tablecloth would be a good reminder of Italy. Often the markets sell them. If interested bring a small tape measure with you so that you buy the proper size. Easy to pack in your luggage of course. Just one of many thoughts. As bfrac said "something will speak to you". Have a wonderful trip and enjoy keeping an eye out for the perfect purchase.

Glass bead seriously worth while (though doubt if NY will exchange) paper or marbled paper and Damascene knives
