Making Toys In St Ulrich From One Generation To Another
Miss Amelia B Edwards notes in Un trodden Peaks the craft of St Ulrich families who carve and paint wooden toys. Magdalena Paldani carves six animals with steady skill, turning out nearly a thousand yearly without patterns. Families preserve the craft through mothers and grandmothers, while others carve skulls and crossbones for crucifix bases or rocking horses and dolls.

A good painter can finish 12 dozen horses daily, each about a foot long, earning 55 soldi per pair.
