Inspiration Behind Vietri

The inception of Vietri was inspired by a mother's journey with her two daughters to Italy, where their fascination with Italian dinnerware sparked a dream. Vietri's design and craftsmanship amplify the American lifestyle while celebrating the irresistible allure of Italy—a passion for life, community, nature, and joyful living. We honor the moments shared with family and friends through the beauty of handcrafted Italian designs for the table, home, and garden, emphasizing the importance of cherishing life's joyful occasions.

The Old St. Nick Collection

Vietri's signature holiday collection is a heartfelt tribute by maestro artisan Alessandro Taddei, inspired by his childhood memories and his mother’s tales of Babbo Natale, Italy's Santa Claus. This whimsical Old St. Nick collection embodies the spirit of Christmas, emphasizing tradition, hospitality, and the warmth of creating a cheerful home for loved ones.

With a style that is whimsically rustic, the Old St. Nick collection invites you into the magical holiday adventures of Santa. Join him as he prepares for the festivities—gathering firewood, traipsing through the woods, delivering gifts, and relaxing after a long day’s work. He is deeply rooted in nature, taking only what he needs from the earth with gratitude, and is often accompanied by friendly birds and squirrels, including a favorite cardinal that visits him regularly.

Craftsmanship by Alessandro Taddei

Alessandro Taddei, with over 30 years of experience in ceramics and an education from the prestigious Montelupo School, is the mastermind behind this enchanting collection. He has been painting in the same Tuscan factory since 1991 and has received numerous national awards for his exceptional talent.
