From the heart of the Mediterranean to the heart of your home…

Benvenuto! Welcome! After several trips to Italy, I found inspiration in the cultural focus on home and family. Each day seemed to culminate in a wonderful celebration around the dinner table with friends, neighbors and family alike. It was this experience coupled with several years of representing Vietri, the largest importer of exclusively Italian handcrafted products that I realized how passionate I was about the Vietri product - its incorporation of trends, use of colors and textures – but mostly, its mission to bring family and friends together to celebrate heritage, traditions and most importantly life!

During the summer of 2008 my passion became Abbellimento ~ a boutique store offering fine tabletop, décor and gifts. Located in charming downtown Lake Geneva, WI, a community that was recently listed as one of the top distinctive destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Abbellimento has the feel of stepping into a shop in downtown Florence Italy. And of course I chose Vietri as the store’s key product line – offering a vast array of Vietri’s beautifully handcrafted and hand-painted tableware, drinkware, garden planters and furnishings collections. Abbellimento offers the largest representation of Vietri in the Midwest, creating a unique opportunity for my customers to see and touch each handmade piece while hearing Vietri’s fairytale inception story and where each collection is made.      

Abbellimento ~ Italian noun for ‘embellishment’ will inspire the soul and mind, igniting creativity with beautiful, hand-selected Italian merchandise. My staff and I will help you transform your home into a place where you can relax and immerse yourself in the spirit of carefree Italian lifestyle. From European tabletop and linens to candles and artful food, we’ll help you present the perfect table to incite warm and heartfelt conversation with family and friends. At Abbellimento, you'll find exquisite home décor, wonderful gift ideas and gift baskets. You’ll love browsing through the shop - or visit us on-line. You’ll always come away inspired to create your own lasting memories of home and family.

Tanti nelli cose per la famiglian che mangia insieme!
(Blessings to the family who eats together!)
