other info

• Rodenstock are one of the oldest and most successful
  
  optical companies in the world, they started in 1877.
  
  One of their milestones was to develop the first
  
  photochromic lens in 1968 (however Corning claim to
  
  have done the same a year later). Palermo - besides
  
  being a beautiful city in the Mediterranean - is most
  
  renowned as the birthplace of the Cosa Nostra. Perhaps
  
  it was these men of honour then, that inspired this design.
  
  Whatever, if you get these made up in your lenses, you'll
  
  be sure to get connected. NB: the temples on this pair are
  
  only 125mm, so despite the large size of the frame, it
  
  could suit any Carmela Sopranos out there, too.
