For Immediate Release Art & Accents, already famous for its Villa VIETRI and rich array of handcrafted art, tableware and ceramics that bring Italy from the store into customers’ homes, will unveil an extraordinary collection of Tuscany’s most handsome ceramics. Through VIETRI, Art & Accents will offer significant urns, vases, pitchers and covered boxes being seen for the first time in any store in the United States. Many of the shapes have historic roots. Some boast luxuriant paintings of flowers, vines, fruits and scrollwork that echo embellishments from the Renaissance. “Northern Italian artisans have created these unique pieces for VIETRI and we are thrilled that Larry Callichio, owner of Art & Accents, can offer them to his customers,” said Frances Gravely, VIETRI founder. “Larry’s knowledge and appreciation of Italy’s art and culture make him the perfect person to present these pieces. His store is already like a walk into Italy. Larry and his staff are guides into the wonderful lifestyle of Italy. VIETRI’s handcrafted products from over 140 artisans throughout Italy could not have a better showcase than Art & Accents,” added Gravely. The very special collection of large and luxurious home décor pieces from Tuscany via VIETRI will be available at Art & Accents, 7740 El Camino Read in La Costa (La Costa Avenue and El Camino Real), in the old Von’s shopping center. Art & Accents can be reached at 760-9943-8221 and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5:30 pm and 12 to 4 on Sundays. |
