Every Artist or Artisan
must work for himself, to express himself,
to communicate, to transmit or receive emotions,
with the wish that his creation is appreciated
for what he had first imagined. With these
compositions, we wanted to help you in drawing
near objects and situations related among
them, to create the right atmosphere, collecting
them in a suitcase, like the fantasy contained
in a painting. |

| Italy Rare leather suitcase |
|
 |
This suitcase, unique object in
its kind, is made on purpose by
the Master Artisan Varetto
Boldrini to contain the nice
and precious things of Italy Rare
in respect for the age-old tuscan
tradition of the use of materials,
of the leather's quality and the
entirely manual techniques.

| |
|
| One Biondi Santi's
Extra Vergine Oil bottle |
|
 |
The oil is composed by olives coming
from Moraiolo, Frantoio e Leccino.
The harvest time is middle of november:
trhe olives are hand-picked and
ground within the three days immediately
following the harvest. Traditional
mil-stones are used. The Biondi
Santi oil is extracted cold
in an oil press.
|
|
| |
|
| One Giusti balsamic
vinegar bottle |
|
 |
For centuries, Giusti, Modena's oldest
producer of balsamic vinegar, has
been making their own product seasoning
it exclusively in woodden casks Supplier
to the Este Dukes, to the aristocracy
of the whole of Europe, from generation
to generation the Giusti family have
never stopped producing their balsamic
vinegar, with their method known as
the "Giuseppe Giusti recipe". |
|
| |
|
| One Cecchini's "Profumo
del Chianti" little pot |
|
 |
Dario
Cecchini, creator of the "scent
of Chianti"(sea salt with aromatic
herbs from Chianti), is surely one
of the most famous butchers in Italy....
|
|
| |
|
| One Franco Balducci's
pinzimonio set made of stonaware |
|
 |
Much of the Balducci's
work combines the coarse finish of
the stoneware with oxidised iron:
clay and iron - The two primal materials
wich, worked with fire, have been
fundamental to art and culture since
the dawn of time.
The red is a red copper in reduction:
it means that it is obtained from
the place impoverished of oxygen,
in the oven during the fusion. If
the enamel would be cooked in a oxidative
place would become light green, cooked
in reduction becomes dark red : I
call it "wine red" but among
ceramists it is known as "ox
blood". |
|
| |
|
| Two little tablecloths,
napkins and one "centrino" all
made of raw cotton and hand embroidered |
|
 |
The first embroidery
work-shops in Italy were opened in
Palermo by Saracens about the year
1000. A century later other work-shops
rose in Genoa, Pisa and Venice. .
In Renaissance, thanks to the prestigious
contribution of the painters of that
time embroidery gains the preciousness
of a work of art.
Since the 19th century, conditioned
by a changed direction of fashion,
the embroidery is oriented towards
a so-called " white embroidery"
used to decorate underwear and linen.
By now Nazzarena
Bastioni has been working for
years with stylists and architects
for the personalization of linen to
furnish villas and exclusive houses... |
