So you’re dreaming of a European summer, but want to skip the crowds, the heat, and sheesh — those airfare and hotel prices? You’re in the right place. Think of this post as your guide to curating the idyllic, cappuccino-on-your-balcony Italian getaway, right in your backyard! We’ve rounded up the perfect summery pieces to turn that kiddie pool into the Cinque Terre escape of your dreams.
(1) Hand-Painted Crystal Spritz Glasses
If you know summer, then you know the infamous Aperol Spritz. One part Aperol, one part Prosecco, and a splash of club soda and orange slice that makes you want to say "Un altro, per favore!" With bold colors and delicate detailing, these gorgeous hand-painted crystal spritz glasses are your ticket to a sun-soaked escape - no passport required.
Something we love at My Italian Decor? Fabulous tableware. It reminds us of long, leisurely lunches under the Sicilian sun. Our table runners are hand-crafted in Italy, featuring vibrant designs that scream summer in Taormina.
After a long dinner of bruschetta, pasta pomodoro, and calamari, the only way to end a proper Italian meal is with a chilled shot of limoncello. Your at-home feast gets an instant upgrade with an Italian glass shot glass — bold, artful, and hand-painted. Choose from Murano Glass, or Hand-Painted Italian Crystal.
(P.S you should definitely try this homemade bruschetta topping from one our favorite food bloggers!)
(4) Florentine Carved Wooden Trays
And last but not least — no summery beverage or after-dinner aperitivo is complete without being served on one of our hand-carved Florentine trays. Timeless, lightweight, and effortlessly chic, they’re the final touch your backyard trattoria deserves.
