Luisa Conventi strings glass beads as women in her family did for generations; she opened her shop in 1987, turned it into a small bead museum and won the Osella d'oro for craftsmanship in 2016 for keeping the impiraresse's work alive. Behind the train station, in a calle the station crowds never enter.
