Forty years ago this May, Lee Gravely took her two daughters, Frances and Susan, on a trip to Italy. That trip changed their lives, and the backdrop for and reason behind that transformation was Positano.
Positano is a village of color, of smiles and relaxation, a place to dream and have dreams come true.
“I remember my first time driving through the hills from Naples toward Positano with Momma and Frances, and the breathtaking clearing in the trees as we approached a small winding road overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. We all agreed we must have died and gone to heaven because we had never seen anything so beautiful.”
- Susan Gravely
The three women were captivated by the cheerful, handpainted designs they saw on the dinnerware at Il San Pietro Hotel. After a few days exploring Positano’s ceramic workshops and factories, they knew that the area’s artistry and craftsmanship was unlike anything they had ever seen elsewhere. They quickly decided they wanted to sell that unique, joyful dinnerware in America, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Campagna
VIETRI’s flagship dinnerware collection, Campagna, has brought irresistibly Italian style to tables and lives for forty years. With handpainted animals, a varied and cheerful color palette, and a gently ruffled shape, the collection is still Founder Susan Gravely’s favorite after all these years.
“We made sure that whatever was pulled from the cupboard created a feeling of joy. Campagna: It is still my favorite pattern.”
- Susan Gravely

Beautiful handpainted designs meet practicality in Melamine Campagna. The collection’s durability makes dining al fresco or with little ones stress-free without any sacrifice in style.
Papersoft Napkins
Edged in the cheerful colors of Campagna, these napkins are highly absorbent and made of a fibrous material (spunlace) in Italy. Luxurious and practical, they elevate every meal and add joy to your celebrations big and small.
Positano
With joyful colors and handpainted handles, Positano flatware was designed in honor of the Campagna dinnerware collection, and it brings cheer to each bite.
Amalfitana
The Amalfi Coast’s joyous explosion of color is celebrated in the brilliant blues, sunwashed reds, and saturated yellows of Amalfitana. Color is king in this part of paradise, and this collection livens up any table with vibrant, cheerful style. Crisp stripes and traditional Italian splatter designs are meant to be mixed and matched to create unique and lively looks.
Limoni
Maestro artisan Gianluca Fabbro hones his unique craft of handsponging vibrant, picturesque lemons reminiscent of the Amalfi Coast. One can imagine strolling through the streets of Positano or the isle of Capri and stopping to soak in the scent of the brightly lit coastline overgrown with robust lemons.
