Marilyn Wolf writes: Transyvaniacs met again in Budapest under the intrepid guidance of 'Il Professore', the ever-scholarly Alberto Boralevi, the indefatigable Stefano Ionescu, and aided by the wonderfully erudite Professor Ferenc Batári. Some 22 Italians and three Americans continued the on the trail of the "Hungarian" Transylvanians during 14 - 17 November 2004.

We were privileged to search the storage of the Applied Arts Museum, where we saw some beautifully conserved and maintained Transylvanians. We saw the breathtaking "Crevelli" on view at the Nagyteteny Castle and marvelled at the Transylvanians on public view at the Hungarian National Museum.

The rugs were sublime and we were pleased to join our friends once more.
