The images to the right illustrate the design with rounded edges and with pointed ones, the latter are more commonly called flame stitch.
No one really knows where Barello originated. It's an Italian word and the Italians are known for it. But there are scholarly hypotheses that the embroidered needlework technique was originally done in Hungary and that when a Hungarian married a Medici, the Florentines adopted the motifs. In Italian, Bargello is also referred to as Hungarian Point. There is a Bargello Museum in Florence. Wouldn't that be a fun place to visit!

He said that the French painter and designer Sonia Delauney(1885-1979) had greatly influenced his mother, Rosita and the Missoni designs which are fabulous examples of bargello or flamestitch like motifs. |
