De Soto Shop Transports Visitors to Italy
De Sota, KS – What happens when an architecture student who studied in Siena, Italy, and a student who studied Italian at a Florence language school meet after they return to the United States?
Their common love of all things Italian results in marriage, another trip to Italy and an enormous purchase of Italian decor and architectural artifacts.
This was the beginning of Mercato Italian Antiques & Artifacts, a cozy retail space that Mary Lies now operates on a quiet commercial street in De Soto. Mary’s husband, Tim, remains an enthusiastic business partner behind the scenes.
