Summer of Shopping: Italian Style

Alisa Barry was inspired by the Italian tradition of celebrating the art of food when she created Bella Cucina Artful Food. The company makes all of its products by hand in small batches using the highest quality farm-grown produce. From harvest-dated aromatic olive oils and award-winning pestos such as artichoke lemon, walnut sage and roasted eggplant, to beautifully packaged farmhouse lemons, they are creating the New Mediterranean Pantry (right here in Atlanta)! You can visit the shop in Virginia-Highland at 1050 N. Highland Avenue, (404) 347-6476; or, online at bellacucina.com. When it comes to fashion, folks turn to the runways of Milan for inspiration. For of-the-moment style in home design, Bizassa is top of the list of many style arbiters. The companyís mosaic tiles are about as fashion-forward as anything on the catwalk. Available through select EXPO Design Centers, expo.com. Roswell chef John Wilson's self-published tome, Tales from a Tuscan Table, recalls his 10 years of class misadventures and culinary mayhem in glorious Tuscany as the owner of Culinary Vacations, Inc. "The names have been changed to protect the guilty," says Wilson with a laugh. Tales from a Tuscan Table also features recipes from the region. Exclusively for Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles readers, Culinary Vacations is offering a 20 percent discount for trips to Tuscany this fall. The dates are Sept. 30-Oct. 5, Oct. 7-12 and Oct. 14-19, 2007. For information on the book and tours, call (770) 998-2073 or visit culinaryvacationsinc.com. Cooking, Italian style, doesn't get much closer to home (literally) than with Cucine Lube. The cabinet company's U.S. headquarters is located in Alpharetta. Visit cucinelubeusa.com for showrooms.
At Bella Italia in Virginia-Highland, itís all Italy, all the time. All of the storeís productsófrom the colorful ceramics to the organic saucesóare made to order and not mass-produced. Many are exclusives to the U.S., found only here. Favorite finds include Busatti linens and LíErbolario bath and body products. 1403 N. Highland, (404) 249-6688; bella-italia-atlanta.com. The colors of Bertazzoni's 36-inch Professional Series are inspired by the wonderful produce and culinary traditions of Emilia Romagna, the heartland of Italian food and where the ranges are engineered and built. This model is in verde, but we also love the rosso and giallo (yellow). Available through select EXPO Design Centers, expo.com; bertazzoni-italia.com. Europeans have long juxtaposed cutting-edge kitchens amid historic chateaux and charming cottages. And Pedini is one of those contemporary cabinet lines that's as much at home in a Midtown loft as it is in a classic Shutze-designed mansion. Pedini of Atlanta, (404) 817-3313; pediniatlanta.com. At Space in Midtown, contemporary Italian style is everywhere. And since so much of Italy revolves around eating and drinking, an Italian table is a must for every home. The Palermo table by Emmemobli is modern in design, but its organic shape makes it appropriate for a variety of spaces, traditional or otherwise. Space, (404) 228-4600.
