Festa on June 6 2006

How – With Good Friends. Good Food. Good Fun. Great Products. An Italian Shopping Extravaganza!
Why - One day Lee said to me, “I’m bored,” and I answered back to her “Since I was 20 and lived in Italy, I wanted to create an Italian business around the beautiful art products of Italy. Would you like to help me”? And a few months later we were on an airplane to reconnect with artists from Venice to Florence, Volterra, Sorrento etc. I was driving though I did not want to do it! It was the beginning of a dream come true for me, returning to Italy to work with the people and not as a tourist.
Please join us to celebrate Gioia’s birthday, Lee Marie's special birthday, and many Gemini birthdays this June 5 and experienceFesta Gioia Grand Celebration. Aperitivi, Antipasti, Chicken Parmesan, Biscotti from several of our friends' Italian bakeries, including Café’ Prosecco. Lots of visiting around the table and special discounts on products.
