This Tuscan hill town will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Siena's grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvelous marble floors. The Piazza del Campo, the main town square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horserace in the world. No goofy hats and mint juleps here—this is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones (so as you might imagine, it's quite dangerous). Siena is an easy daytrip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away.

The workshop production is based on artistic ceramics in typical siennese style, and many others conceived by Staccioli's family itself featured by decoration in a range of different shades of blue, green and salmon obtained by particular maxing of colours. Sonia's majolica's achieved their last touch by over glaze firing. Temperature ranges from 930° to 1050° Celsius. All the "Bianco e Nero" articles are totally hand made and completely lead free.
Be it a Christmas Tree ornament of complete serving set, you will be amazed at the craftmanship. The artist is there paining.

A most wonderful display of true artisan work in wax. Everything is unique from the smallest item to sunflowers, tulips, lilies, and candles of all shapes and sizes. The candles can be personalised as a lovely gift and if there is an 'o/0' in the name/date make it a heart. We will treasure the flowers and candles we bought along with the memory of the ladies in the shop and their passion for what they created.

From love for the earth and for its extraordinary products born SIENA TRUFFLES, a small but lovely shop of typical products based on truffles, opened right in the heart of Siena, on the corner of Piazza del Campo, the heart of Tuscany's most charming . After 15 years of passion for truffles, carried out in the forests of central Italy in the company of dogs faithful and well trained, we decided to give a home to what for me was a great passion, but which for many was and is always one of the highest peaks of Italian, so famous all over the world thanks to valuable products such as truffles. From the earth to the table in short, to satisfy the most experienced demanding, from fresh product just found (whether trifola or scorzone) to the various sauces made with truffles, creams, all 'truffle oil until the brandy truffle and traditional pasta, also obviously enhanced by truffle. All in the name of "Made in Italy", pursued with determination and conviction as a fundamental value.
We ordered a custom gift basket from the store in Siena Italy. I corresponded directly with the store owner, Alessandro, who helped me craft the perfect gift basket. He was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. The quality of their products are outstanding, and the presentation is fabulous! They also deliver 3 day to United States.

J'ai visité Sienna il y a plusieurs années à la recherche notamment de fruits en céramique afin de décorer ma cuisine. J'ai eu l'occasion de comparer plusieurs magasins et celui-ci fournit la meilleure qualité. Je me souviens d'avoir été accueillie en anglais par la fille de la propriétaire, Valentina, qui fut absolument charmante. Je lui transmets mes salutations. I visited this shop quite some years ago and was looking for ceramic fruits as a decoration for my kitchen. I had the chance to compare several shops in town and this one came across as the one providing the best quality products. I was welcomed in English by the daughter of the shop's owner Valentina, who was a charming lady. I pass on my regards to her. Hope that my pics do justice to the fruits ceramics. Cheers, Isabelle, France
