Italian
Country Home and Kitchen offers exquisite crafts from Tuscan
ceramics to beautiful table linens all against a backdrop
of rare rustic Italian antique furniture dating from the 1600's
onwards. Francesca Carmichael and her husband Roderick
are the owners. The Italian connection comes from
Francesca who was born and grew up in Cremona, Italy. Cremona
is a beautiful medieval town located in the north of Italy and
is most famous for its violin making tradition with Stradivarius
its most famous citizen . Francesca makes frequent trips to
Italy to buy directly from small suppliers in her hometown
as well as from many different parts of Italy. Francesca has in
fact known many of the suppliers from her Childhood.
Therefore, the authenticity of antiques and the high quality of
the home furnishings and gift items are assured. Suppliers
are mostly smaller artisans who do not typically have
representation in the United States, which adds to the originality of the shop.
