COLONNA

Our Colonna flatware is handmade in Italy of 18/10 stainless steel and has handles shaped by inspirations from the stylish Colonna piazza in Rome’s political center.

Colonna is available in multiple colors with geometric handles to match any of our ceramic patterns. Four of the colors inspired by the tortoise, tiger, zebra and diablo add a contemporary look and feel with a wonderful depth and texture. A variety of serving pieces will round out your entertaining needs.

CONDOTTI

Our Condotti flatware’s handles are tipped with stainless steel ridges reminiscent of the Spanish Steps in Rome. Handmade in Italy of 18/10 Stainless Steel, Condotti is available in multiple solid colors including lightly stained wood with decorative handles to match any of our ceramic patterns.

Via Del Condotti leads off into the ancient city center from the foot of the Spanish Steps. This is not only one of the richest streets in Italy but also one of the best for shopping in Rome. The Spanish Steps are constructed using 138 steps that are a mix of curved and straight flights, vistas, and terraces. During the 18th century, the Spanish Steps became a meeting place for both artists and poets, and today is where local and tourists all come to take in views overlooking the city.

 

MICHELANGELO

Smooth, simple, rounded handles with a touch of decoration, our Michelangelo collection is as versatile and accomplished as its namesake. Named after the Renaissance Man, this collection is a celebration of the classical. Functional, beautiful and in multiple colors, it offers the versatility to pair with either a casual or a more elaborate table setting.

 

RAFFAELLO

Our most formal flatware comes in the form of our Raffaello Collection. Perfect for palatial entertaining, the simple ivory handles are embellished on both ends with stainless decoration. Don't just set the table, set it apart! Inspired by friezes and capitals of Italy's most historic and noble palaces, this collection of cutlery turns the act of eating into an art form. Classic in look, modern in materials for pure practicality.

 

TREVI PERLATO

Our Trevi Perlato Collection is one of our more formal flatware collections with the handle shaped in a gentle silhouette inspired by the romance of the Trevi Fountain. Handmade in Italy of 18/10 Stainless Steel, Trevi is available in seven pearlized colors with a delicate handle to match any of our ceramic patterns.

VIA VENETO

The ultimate blend of fun and function, our Via Veneto flatware is meticulously created to be durable yet beautiful. While the gentle curve of the handle looks graceful, the bright colors are the exclamation point on this collection.

The gently curving handles of the Via Veneto collection were inspired by Via Vittorio Veneto in Rome. Via Veneto is one of the most famous, elegant and expensive streets in Rome, and is named after the Battle of Vittorio Veneto, a decisive Italian victory of World War I. The 1960 film La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini immortalized the romance of life on the Via Veneto, home to some of Rome's most renowned cafés and five star hotels.

Handmade in Italy of 18/10 Stainless Steel, Via Veneto is available in multiple pearlized colors with handles that have a gentle yet geometric curve combining the contemporary with a delicate flair. A variety of serving pieces will round out your entertaining needs!
