STELLADAMBRA COLLECTION: A UNIQUE SELECTION OF ONE OF A KIND ITALIAN ITEMS – LA DOLCE VITA BY Alessandra Tamburini
Stelladambra Collection aims to promote Italy’s rich artisanship and craftsmanship by creating a contemporary Marketplace that goes beyond time and tradition.
Like a travel diary, the Collection takes you on a passionate journey through the rolling hills of Tuscany and Piedmont landscapes, the magic floating city of Venice and the trendy shopping streets of Milan.
A fascinating mix of atmospheres that best express Italy’s artistic and cultural heritage. Behind every product there’s a story deeply anchored to Italian Values: culture, innovation and originality.
From artisans who practice historical traditions such as Murano glass, to organic farmers who apply sustainability in order to improve quality and environmental wellbeing: most of Stelladambra brands are led by female entrepreneurs who are successfully using their talent to launch new projects or to perpetuate the legacy of the family business.
INSIDE STELLADAMBRA COLLECTION: EACH STORY SHOWS DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF ITALIAN CHARACTERS AND HISTORY
Discover Fattoria La Maliosa, an organic farm set amongst 165 hectares of wild and unspoiled nature in Southern Tuscany Maremma. It’s here that Italian entrepreneur Antonella Manuli has implemented a project entirely based on quality and environmental wellbeing, with complete respect for the territory and its originality. La Maliosa has quickly become Italy’s leader in sustainability and has gained several international prizes for its organic extra vergin olive oil.
Stelladambra Collection takes you then to Piedmont to explore the green valleys of Turin and Biella, where Pasticceria Massera began her story 100 years ago. Its founder, Luigi Massera, used to take the famous Torcetti – their typical heart shaped biscuits – out of the oven for the village festivities. Since 1920 Pasticceria Massera has become a flagship of yet another history of sustainability, extraordinarily rich in taste and fantasy, receiving prestigious awards as the Label of handicraft excellence by Piedmont Region.
Not far away, on the hills of Serra, the perfect combination of a favourable ecosystem, purity of air and wild flora promotes beekeeping and leads to a very special honey production by the Lissi Salussoglia family. Their laboratory, created in 1983, has been awarded for the past three years the absolute first place at the prestigious national competition “Tre gocce d’oro – Greatest Italian Honeys”.
Aside from those authentic food experiences, Stelladambra introduces you to the talent of a young fashion stylist who, at the early age of 25, has created her own brand around her biggest passion: hats. Hand embroidered and made with love in Carlotta Progida small artisanal atelier in Milan, these gorgeous hats promise to make your wardrobe stylish and ready for all occasions.
Craftsmanship and innovation are ultimately right at the heart of Il Giardino di Pippo, art & design studio nested 50 meters away from Ponte di Rialto in Venice. Everything – from jewellery to decorative vases and fine wooden objects – is entirely designed by the Manin family of architects, and skilfully produced by Venetian craftsmen experts, glassware blown by Maestri Muranesi, ceramics hand-painted from Deruta and foulards manufactured in Como’s silk factories.
