Roberto Rossellini, famous Italian film director and icon of neorealism, would have been 100 years old on 8 May 2006. Isabella Rosellini, offspring of the Bergman/Rossellini cinema dynasty, herself a film star, author and celebrated photo model has dreamed up a very special hommage to her father on the centenary of his birth.

"Sweden's wealth of folk costumes, which bear witness to the dress styles of the rural population long ago, continues to fascinate us and cause us to reflect on times past. Many people today seek to root their style of dress, their color sense, indeed in many cases their very identity, in tradition and traditional practices. For those involved in folk music or folk dance in Sweden, the old costumes are a natural part of the scene. And abroad, Swedes are constantly asked about the appearance of our folk costumes and whether they are surviving. In this booklet, Ingrid Bergman, PhL and former head of the textile department at Nordiska Museet, briefly familiarizes us with the meaning of the term folk costume in our country."--Sweden Bookshop Website.
