Perhaps best known these days as the setting for the book and movie “Under the Tuscan Sun,” gorgeous hillside Cortona has a long history dating back even before its time as an important Etruscan center. Top attractions include the Duomo (Cathedral), the small Museo Diocesano across the piazza with its superb art collection, and the fascinating Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca with its assembly of Etruscan and Roman era items. Cortona is also bursting with splendid churches spanning many periods.

From an early age the twins:Alessandro and Sebastian learned with attention to details, the secrets of the trade.With the specific knowledge of fashioning precious metals and accentuating with gemstones,they continue to create their exclusive designs."Our grandfather passed his craft on to our father, who in-turn taught us. With an enduring devotion to evolve our skills and invest in the future, we at DelBrenna cultivate this birthright... which inspires our distinctive style that continues to be handcrafted, one piece at a time, at our family studio in Cortona - Tuscany"
I was looking for a special present and the beautiful Lucia helped me decide between all the lovely pieces that caught my eye. Lucia understood perfectly how the different pieces would play out in my wardrobe and either at work or a social night out. A wonderful experience, thank you for spending the time with me !

Gino and Robi Vadi's workshop is in Ronzano, a small village near Cortona, where they create terracotta works following the antique techniques of hand made productions.The wide sample line has been enriched in time by fountains, floors and chandeliers. The high quality is given by the use of the Galestro of Impruneta, a kind of clay that not only gives a typical colour but also durability in time.
