Prato - book on textile industry

[LindaG]

Hello all,

A while back I read a book on the Prato textile industry (more interesting than that sounds). It is not the Merchant of Prato. I thought I had the book but I can't find it and can't remember the name. I've searched Amazon and other online sites with no luck. I am hoping someone else has read it or heard of it and can point me in the right direction.

Safe and fun travels, Linda

Perhaps this book...The Story of My People by Edoardo Nesi?

In ‘Story of My People,’ Recalling an Industry (and Way of Life) (Published 2013)

Edoardo Nesi, a former businessman turned author, tells the story of the textile industry of Prato, Italy, in a memoir filled with musings as finely woven as his company’s woolens.
