botega
In Italian, a shop; in the history of Italian art, the workshop in which an artist of reputation, having usually assistants, made and offered for sale, or made to order, decorative furniture, carvings, painted armorial shields, painted panels for chests, door, shutters, tabernacles, shrines; and, in short, art works of any sort from mural paintings of importance to toys, weapons, utensils, etc. Each botega gained a reputation for a peculiar class of work.
