Welcome

Benvenuto!

Back in the early 1900's, our grandparents left their homelands in Europe and arrived in America, bravely embracing this new land.  They took hold of the many new adventures they found waiting for them here, as they faced alike the difficult struggles as well as the promising opportunities.  Amid all that was new and challenging, though, they continued to hold tightly to the cherished values and beliefs that defined them.

Today, two generations later, we find ourselves embarking on our own type of adventure into "new land" as we go ONLINE!  For us, this offers the tremendous opportunity to open the doors of our shop to customers near and far, no matter where they might be.  Yet even as our shop's "boundaries" expand, we intend to follow our grandparents' example and keep to the time-honored values, traditions, and beliefs that we cherish.  This means that, despite the "impersonal" aspects of online communications and transactions, we will continue to value each customer as an individual, and will strive to offer each of you our personal consideration and attention.

We are astounded that so many of our in-store customers have actually visited Italy!  They are usually brimming with excitement as they tell us about their experiences.  We of course love to listen to their stories, but we are also deeply gratified that so many of them joyfully exclaim that our shop and our products stir up wonderful memories for them!

Whether or not you yourself have had the good fortune to visit Italy, we are delighted that we can now welcome you to our website -- hopefully we can bring a little bit of Italy to you!  Enjoy your visit, and please come back to shop often!
