                    Anna and Laura Tirocchi built their dressmaking business in 
                    Providence, Rhode Island, and maintained a passion for beauty 
                    and excellence which is expressed in the remarkable garments 
                    they produced. Their story is intertwined with those of their 
                    family, workers, and clients, and it parallels the history 
                    of twentieth century fashion, art, and design.
