"Fiesole is a town in the Tuscany region of Italy, on a famously scenic height above Florence. By the 14th century, rich Florentines had countryside villas in Fiesole, and some of their more famous residents have included Gertrude Stein and Frank Lloyd Wright. Such is the inspiration for the bucolic scene central to the design of the Fiesole collection by Richard Ginori, one of their top selling patterns. Note the delicate 24 carat gold garlands and border decoration with blue accents, making this a breathtaking collection for a country estate or the most sophisticated city setting. less
