In search of Pietro Bossi: The Italian craftsman shrouded in the mystery of his life in Dublin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Having spent an extremely enjoyable evening at the new Conor McPherson play, The Brightening Air, in the Gate Theatre on Friday, I made my way the following morning to Avondale in Co Wicklow for a visit to the ancestral home of Parnell.
