About
At La Dolce Vita Gift Boxes, I specialize in curating exquisite Made in Italy welcome, wedding, and private celebration gifts, thoughtfully selected to bring the beauty and spirit of Italy to life.
My passion for gifting began long before La Dolce Vita. As a young woman, I created every gift for my eldest sister’s wedding, personally crafting each detail and writing handwritten notes in Italian for her guests. That experience stayed with me and taught me that the most memorable celebrations are often found in the smallest details.
My journey later took me to New York, where I worked in fashion design and went on to create curated, high-end shopping experiences for clients who appreciated distinctive style, authentic craftsmanship, and the beauty of Italian design. Today, as a resident of Cernobbio on the breathtaking shores of Lake Como, I am delighted to bring that same passion to La Dolce Vita—curating distinctive Made in Italy gifts that make celebrations feel personal, beautiful, and unforgettable.
Bespoke Curation & Sourcing
For celebrations that call for something truly personal, La Dolce Vita Boxes offers bespoke curation and sourcing.
Working closely with couples, wedding planners, and private clients, I can create a gift experience beyond our existing collections—sourcing distinctive pieces specifically chosen to reflect the couple, the destination, and the character of their celebration.
Whether you have a particular item in mind, a specific aesthetic, or simply an idea that needs to be brought to life, I personally research and source exceptional pieces from Italy to create a box that feels entirely your own.
From a single special request to a fully bespoke collection, every detail is thoughtfully considered, beautifully presented, and sourced from Italy.
A New Standard for Italian Luxury
Throughout a career spanning the United States, Italy, and Switzerland, I have collaborated with visionary figures like Stevie Wonder, Valentino, and Giada De Laurentiis across fashion, entertainment, and the arts. Creativity has never been merely about aesthetics; it is rooted in purposeful impact and community responsibility.
Today, that mission drives La Dolce Vita Boxes, redefining luxury through intentional giving. With every purchase, 5% of proceeds are managed directly by us as a dedicated contribution to the Italian Union of Blind and Partially Sighted People (UICI).
Whether a celebration unfolds on the shores of Cernobbio, the hills of Tuscany, or anywhere across Italy, this funding is explicitly designated for accessibility and inclusion programs, empowering local and national chapters to allocate resources where they are most urgently needed by the community.
Beautiful things carry their true weight only when they give something back to the world that inspired them.
