Region and Artistry
Stefano Roselli – Stefano Roselli was born in Italy in 1957. He got his artistic start in 1972 when he began to mold candle and wax. After gaining many years of experience and learning from other master molders, he transitioned to ceramics and began working at one of VIETRI’s dearest factories. Stefano quickly learned the details and nuances of various clays and ceramics. He was soon recognized as an exceptionally innovative and gifted molder, and in 1989, he became a maestro molder himself. Now, he leads the creative design process for many of our collections. A true artist, Stefano’s work is also his passion. He is most at home when he has clay on his hands and his sketches for possible designs scattered across his workspace. During his free time, he sculpts Renaissance and Roman-inspired bas-reliefs for his home.
Tuscany – A region in central Italy, Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, craftsmanship, and influence on culture. The birthplace of the Renaissance, Tuscany is often called the art palace of Italy, and many of the world’s greatest works of art come from this region.
VIETRI
VIETRI’s story is a love affair… When Susan, Frances, and their mother, Lee Gravely, took their first trip to Italy in 1983, they fell in love with the Italian culture. During their stay at the San Pietro Hotel in Positano, they went to lunch and found themselves captivated by the hotel’s colorful, handcrafted dinnerware. The next day they arranged to meet the artisans at a nearby factory in the town of Vietri sul Mare. As they watched the artisans paint, glaze, and fire each piece by hand, they were inspired to share the treasure they had discovered. The Gravelys returned home with an array of pieces with mixed patterns all related to nature. The collection would become known as Campagna, VIETRI’s flagship dinnerware.
Italian artisans have handcrafted VIETRI collections with the highest-quality clays and glazes from the soil of the Italian countryside. As they expand and create new products for the table, home, and garden, they are continually inspired by the beauty of Italy — the countryside and the cities, the culture and lifestyle, the history and traditions.
Curate your collection with pieces you love most, while mixing and matching your favorites to create your own personal style. VIETRI’s products are made to last with durable clays and high-quality glazes. The majority of their collections are dishwasher and microwave safe, so they’re convenient for everyday use.
