DescriptionThe dining room was another work area for the family. Here the family and the boarders were fed, also in this room, Maria picked silk on a frame, examining the bolts of broad silk brought from the mill for imperfections. This was another task to bring income to the household. Maria used the sewing machine to make clothes. The table reflects a setting for the family or boarders, placed with hotel type dishes, silver-plated utensils, and a condiment set. The sideboard, high chair, table chairs, and sewing machine are family pieces. The small painting shows sheep, which provided the wool upon which textile manufacture was based, against the backdrop of the Alps, and the large sketched portrait of Pietro Botto in later years was produced by his grandson and professional artist, Richard Botto.
