CESARE VILLARI
T
he Grande Impero Collection refers back to the
Imperial Style, which originated in France du-
ring the second phase of the Neoclassical period
(late 18th and early 19th centuries). Its slenderness of line,
sober elegance, and the subdued Romanticism already evi-
dent in its reinterpretation of the classical model fully vin-
dicate the principle of imitation on which these works are
based, making it a valid expression of Neoclassical taste
and style. These artefacts have been created using traditio-
nal techniques for both the modelling and the decoration,
every detail of which has been executed using precious
enamels and fine 24-carats gold. They are an example of
the high degree of taste and technical skill achieved by our
master craftsmen. To identify a genuine VILLARI artefact,
it is vital to verify its origin by checking the guarantee card,
the VILLARI trade mark, and the “Made in Italy” mark.
