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.

 

IT CONTAINS :

 
  • One Italy Rare leather suitcase
  • Under dishes and support for candle in Alabastro
  • One vase in RCR crystal
  • Two little tablecloths, napkins and "centrini" in "bisso" of linen embroidered "a tombolo
  • One candle

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.
Each product is numbered and recorded in his personal book by the Master.

 
Under dishes and support for candle in Alabastro

More than two thousand years have passed since the Etruscans began to carve alabaster and despite numerous difficulties the stone is still worked in Volterra, even if it no longer represents the main economic activity of the city as was the case in the recent past. Alabaster still constitutes an im- portant cultural and historical aspect of Volterra.
Today the small number of artisans who still work in the historical city centre conserve an important tradition. These craftsmen work to insure that this precious tradition will be preserved in the future.
 
One vase in RCR crystal

 

It is just those important details that add warmth and prestige to your home, those finishing touches that make each home that little bit special, and ... elegance springs from discretion.

 
Two little tablecloths, napkins and "centrini" in "bisso" of linen embroidered "a tombolo
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...
 
One candle

 

Entirely hand-made with natural bee's wax. The high quality of the raw material allows the candle to burn slower, completely releasing the inner fragrance.
