Impiraréssa: from the Venetian impiràr, to thread. Name given in Venice to the craftswomen who used to thread colored glass beads with long needles.

The impiraresse were unassuming women who worked from their doorsteps, often in small groups outside their homes.

Though this was an ordinary and humble job, it was important for the number of women it employed and for its economic relevance.

It provided a vital means of support for their families especially during times when men faced extended periods of unemployment. Besides, without these dedicated women, the local merchants would have been unable to market the exquisite Venetian beads in long, alluring strands.

The compensation for their work was not generous. In fact, despite requiring skill, patience, and keen eyesight, these women received rather meager wages. But there were no alternatives for them, so they still had to accept the job. Nevertheless, the most proficient among them devised clever strategies to maximize their earnings. They would use multiple needles, deftly threading beads on several strings simultaneously.

The impiraressa is the primary inspiration behind this podcast. The act of threading beads mirrors the art of storytelling, and using multiple needles becomes a metaphor for exploring a variety of topics.
