, 1/25 f/2.8, ISO 200, hand held. Venezia, Italy.

Verso la prima metà del 1600, gli olandesi divennero proprietari dell'isola di Manhattan. Questi proposero agli indigeni locali un certo quantitativo di perle chiamate "rosetta", prodotte nell'isola di Murano, fiorini olandesi e altri oggetti di scambio. Gli indigeni scoprirono subito che anche le perle potevano avere un grande potere apotropaico e accettarono di buon grado il baratto. Nella foto, il vetraio Gianni Moretti parla di quel baratto durante la proiezione di una foto di un indigeno che indossa le perle "rosetta".
