Mario Talarico and his nephews have turned the humble umbrella
into a work of art. Sought after by international heads of state, each piece is a one-off,
complete with mother-of-pearl buttons, a horn tip and a handle made from a single tree
branch. While top-of-the-range pieces can fetch up to €300, there are more-affordable op-
tions that will keep the budget-conscious singing in the rain.
