For generations of girls, the fabled glass slippers of the Cinderella story have captured the imagination. Only something so delicate, so unyielding and so spectacular could possibly add a touch of magic to the story.

It's a well-known fact that the Cinderella that we know is based on the Charles Perrault fable that was penned in 1697. In Perrault's tale, Cinderella's slipper is made of fur (vair), which was later mis-translated to glass (verre) in the English versions.

But a recent find in Italy may call that assumption into question.
