It was during the Renaissance that Italian embroidery was famous throughout Europe for its meticulous detail and technical proficiency. Under the patronage of the Medicis, Florence became an important centre for embroidery. Prominent artists such as Raphael, were commissioned to make designs to be stiched by such men as Antonio Pollaiuolo, whose embroideries were recognised as important examples of Renaissance art. In Venice, typical openwork evolved into lace, removing threads and replacing them with stiches. Casalguidi is known for another distinct form of white linen embroidery and in Florence expensive silk and woollen threads were worked on canvas in a technique known today as "Bargello work" after the palace there.  1, record 1, English, - Italian%20embroidery

Le travail se fait sur métier, avec du fil de coton ou de soie blanc sur une fine toile blanche. Le point de chaînette a été le premier point utilisé et pratiquement le seul jusqu'au milieu du XIXème siècle. Il était souvent combiné avec de la dentelle à l'aiguille. Puis il a été remplacé par le passé plat et le point d’armes pour les semis ou les légers remplissages de fleurs et de feuilles, les applications et le plumetis créant l'effet de relief qui est devenu la principale caractéristique de la broderie d’Appenzell.  1, record 2, French, - broderie%20d%27Appenzell
