The book Η ασημένια ζώνη [The Silver Belt] in Greek Braille was transcribed and printed by the Braille Printhouse Department of the Lighthouse for the Blind of Greece.
How then is the art of silverwork intertwined with the city of Ioannina? How did the silversmiths of the city become famous all over the world? And finally, how did this art take root in the daily life of the city's inhabitants influencing their social and economic status? The author, a music educator and ethnomusicologist, creates a vivid world of fairy tales with motifs and elements of well-known popular myths. Thus, we travel in time and find out the story of the sole silversmith in the walled city of ancient Ellopia, which is the area of Ioannina; the story of the wealthy stranger who arrives from the North to place an order for silverware with the famous silversmith; the story of the poor people who live around the lake, who in return for helping the silversmith ask to learn from him the art of his craft; the story of the wise old man who lives on the small island on the lake and, consulting his books, manages to "cure" the silversmith of his greed.
