Dear All,

I endorse Gianni Ferrari's comments about the
shop in Trastevere.  I have visited it several
times and it is quite unlike any other shop
that I have ever been in.  The owner has a
quite extraordinary selection of fascinating
items for sale.

There is a (small) market for reproduction
diptychs.  Many years ago in East Berlin I
bought a nice reproduction David Beringer
diptych.  The leaflet inside explained that
it was a copy and where the original was.

The most astonishing thing was its price.
There was certainly no attempt to pretend
that this was a genuine Beringer diptych
and I paid one EAST German mark!

I think I was given a discount but I can't
remember why!
