Fresh embrace
Nothing better than the purifying carrying of the linen that knows of being cleaned up, after the shower or outside the bathtub. Embroidered and frayed like a time or simply smooth and pure, the towel in linen is the comfort of excellence.
Different from the classic sponge towels, that one in linen has numerous advantages: it dries the skin more quickly, it is soft, anti-allergic and fresh.
They dry themselves in a hurry, even if it remains more creased, but who loves linen loves also its folds. Indicated for the delicate skin of babies, for taking off make-up, after shaving and for those who have problems with acne.
Beautiful and elegant, an irrenounceable complement for furnishing modern bathrooms: real scenes with furnishings and searched details searched and wisely bounded together between them, in order to make every daily gesture unique.
A perfect table
To prepare means “to prepare the table for a meeting “and making it in the best way is a sign of respect towards our hosts. Or for an informal lunch or a supper for work, a table prepared with simplicity, taken care of the details and a touch of class, it will make you understand who’s seating with you, how much importance is given to this encounter. Here some suggestions.
The tablecloth is the Queen of the table; it can be linen, cotton, with designs or in united ink: the most important thing is that it is adapted for the type of reception, more or less elegant and that the agreements with the plates, but above all, it has to be to be perfectly ironed.
The alternatives for the tablecloth can be the American type of tablecloth, perfect for the meeting between friends and family lunches, or the runner (the “tête à tête” for the French people).
The plates, put down on underplates or put directly on the tablecloth, have to be placed in equal distance one with another; if they are decorated with designs, frieze, decorations, these have to be turned towards the edge of the table, so that the person seated can see them in their correct position. When the service is carried out by one or more waiters, a single plate is laid on the table (when there is also soup served with lunch, the deep plates or cups for the ‘consommé’ are also put on the table) and the waiters supply or change plates for the other courses. When instead there is no service, the table can be prepared with three plates, the appetizer, first and second; the others can be taken by hand, presented on a small table or an undercarriage; obviously the number of necessary plates varies according to the courses of the menu.
Also the number of cutlery varies according to the menu; their position is however fixed: on the left of the plate the forks, in this order: normal and those for fish; on the right the knives, normal and for fish, with the blade turned towards the plate, and the spoon for soup; the little spoons for dessert are offered horizontally in front of the plate, the fork with the handle face towards left and the spoon towards right; between those two can also be inserted a knife for fruit in the same sense of a teaspoon.
An alternative can be: carrying them according to the moment, supported by the saucer for fruit or dessert.
The glasses are slightly put to right of the plate in front of the knife; there must be at least two, one for water (the largest one) and, to its right, one for wine (the smellest one); if more wine is served, the number of the glasses increases, but they are always placed to the right of that one for water (in that case, for water you can also use a glass without stand, that varies from the others). For valuable wines the glasses must be absolutely without colour: the ink of the wine, its tonalities, its glares and its "body" must be transparent without uncertainties. The best form is the one of tulip, with the goblet, wide enough to the centre, so that the contact air-wine from which exhales the scent (bouquet) is found concentrated in the part with slightly more grip of the top.
The wine is served in its bottle, except that one aged, which will have to endure an oxygenation procedure (settling) and needs to be served in a carafe (decanter). It possible, before the dessert, remove all the glasses (only the ones for water) and add the one for the dessert.
The napkin is put down on the plate or side by the cutlery, if it has not found place on top of the underplate. Or it is placed on the left of the cutlery; some people put it on the right, others on the left; for less important lunches they can also be folded and threaded in a glass.
The bread is put on the table in appropriate baskets; sometimes, even if in Italy it is not very frequent, little plates are being used for the bread, put on the left of the plate in front of the forks.
On the table you cannot forget salt and pepper; for informal lunches a single salt shaker and a single pepper mill is enough, while for important occasions a small salt shaker and a peppermill is placed next to every plate or between two plates.
Other objects like the cheese bowl, the sauce boat, is put on the table only if they are necessary. On the contrary, ash tray and toothpicks are announced publicly.
The water, if mineral, is left in its original bottle, if it is tapped it has to be served in a carafe.
The centrepiece has to be simple and less cumbersome, and if with flowers, little perfumed. It is better low in order not to disturb the view of whom is in front. According to the occasions and the season, the flowers can be replaced by candles, also buoys, fresh fruit or vegetables.
Don’t ever commit the error to favour the lead table above the meal! This would mean frivolousness and excessive protagonism towards the head of the household.

Italy that seduces
" Today the reputation of Italy in the world is big for the seduction of its way of life, which is not codified in any book and which waits for a writer that collects examples of many lives, ancient and contemporary. Who has formed this reputation? Not the rhetorics, not men of letters, not political men, certainly not generals and admirals, not administrators and not even catholic priests, that are surely a genuine product of Italian civilization.
More than ever the reputation belongs to narrators, to poets, painters and sculptures and architects, to actors, cooks and tailors, sportswomen, skin-divers and air ones, to the women who fall in love and to the Italian lovers, the beautiful women of cinematography and to the guy of the road… the increasing mass of tourists represents an international voting in favour of the Italians. It feeds those Italians with a certain love without esteem, exchanged again by Italians with an exaggerated appraisal accompanied with a not too much love.
Italy of Renaissance, the unitary parenthesis of this disunited country, appears ended. But the universal Italy – the one that imports more - continues to occupy and to worry our minds for work of the single Italian individuals, always admirable get out of the way of embarrassment and correcting the painful and onerous situations in which their captains lead them. Their industry and their genius, their ability to resolve with a feature of astuteness or assiduousness of work, their personal problems never end from the harding in admiration”.

Sheets and quilts… the innovations for the summer
We will never get tired to repeat and to write how comfortable and healthy the linen is for the bed. With the arrival of the summer a sheet in linen can offer well-being, even if warmth overwhelms us, thanks to its elevated thermotransparant qualities, it helps to maintain the skin fresh and dry. The green of pistache nuts, the blue of the sea and the ecrù of the Sicilian earth. From these suggestions of colour the new read line Taormina draws inspiration. Colours that, bound together to the candor of the linen white man, which gives freshness and brightness to the bedroom. An irrenounceable pleasure for the warm season. In order to complete our collection we have created the Selinunte line: quilt light, light, rigorously in pure linen; perfect like summery and ideal bedspread for the fresher evenings.
Consumerism and waste
To someone it could seem unbecoming and ridiculous that a store draws the topic of the consumerism, but our philosophy wants to go beyond.
These days people buy more than really is needed, not really necessity or for pleasure, but for what an object represents, because it is a status symbol. Objects have become so invasive in our life to replace progressively to replace affections and human relations, to soothe insecurities, giving confirmations and feelings of being able and superiority. In the meantime our burn-up level erodes natural reserves of the planet and causes the risk for life on Earth for the future generations. The assets, that were once broken but could be repaired, are now replaced because economically it suits more.
Perhaps consumerism is a phenomenon born in the mature development of the western, sceptical, individualistic civilization, deprived of ideals and certainties. It’s a question of moderating or checking it and possibly finding a remedy for the disasters that it is producing. Already today the spread of a new sensibility is perceived: building more in the forefront orients itself towards bio-compatible materials, industry renews by reaching alternative energy forms like wind, water and solar. The knowledge that water, air and ground are precious resources, to respect and protect, is making a beneficially road a bit anywhere.
Continuing to acquire assets that last a few years or even a season, because fashion, that is imposing us or because the low price invites us to make it, what is and always will be, with disadvantage and stupid.
Often in fact, behind low prices insufficient quality is hidden, exploitation and lack of respect for the environment. The fact about the law under our eyes, but blind for the craving for buying pretending not to see. Convinced to have made a good transaction, we find again between the hands, a head that after little washings loses colour, softness or even becomes nearly unusable.
And therefore?
Our philosophy is also this: to sell a product that will last for many years, elegant classic and, with lines and colours without time, realized with woven natural with all respect for the environment.

Linen in the kitchen
It knows well, who not passes the transparency of crystals or the shine of porcelain and those who love to cook and prefer in marmalade syrups etc… Some time ago in fact, the kitcken towel in linen was of common use and was us
ed to filter marmalade or distilled ones like measles, walnuts, ratafià and many others. In the beginning of the ‘900 in the set of a young bride there were 30 towels for kitchen use and 30 dishcloths for the dust in linen or hemp. Don’t forget the , which are perfect to dry important glasswork, decanter and crystals, making them shining and immaculate; ideal to put aside fresh paste, ravioli or tagliatelle: it is not sticky and conservation improves, essential characteristic also for cheeses and salumi. Used in the production process of parmigiano reggiano, when it is still morbid, it’s colle
cted in a great linen cloth and transferred to the appropriate bands that will give it its characteristic form. More sophisticated cooks use it to filter the soup of the cooking of stew and roast.

Luxury
Luxury is free time ..... Between frenzy and daily engagement, the tyrannous time and the appointments of routine, luxury is a pause. A moment to dedicate to yourself while tasting a coffee, exchanging some words with a friendly person or to grant a whim for the pure satisfaction of a pleasure. Luxury is surrounding you with little daily pleasures or sharing with few intimates. Taking care of yourself with calmness and without haste…. A warm bath, a scent of spray in which dipping yourself, listening to a relaxing CD and to enjoy the intimacy of your own house. Playing in bed with our kids without taking care of time that passes… Simple gestures and little details: the washing of fresh linen, the softness of a sponge that sweetly wraps us after a relaxing shower, a plea
Sleep tight
To sleep well is the better way to recharge oneself in healthier and more natural way. The sleep re-establishes our balance and our energies, favouring the immune system. They are worth always the many extolled rules of gold, feeding, physical activity, etc, but to sleep well, to live better day by day, a good bed is indispensable, also as structure and as linen: bedspreads, pillowcases, sheets and eiderdown. For a natural sleep of quality the linen must be sufficient. In reality the sheet coincides with the linen: the word in fact, derived from the Latin: linteolum, linen cloth, and no other woven texture for the night is more hygienic and healthy. For the sleep, an essential moment in anyone’s life, a moment to relax and of liberation, nothing is better than linen: it is hygroscopic, which means it can absorb liquids till 20% of its weight. This means to maintain our dry and fresh body. It is thermostatic: during winter the linen sheet acts as heat conductor, because the capture from blankets transmitts it to our body. During summer instead, the pillowcase and sheet absorb the heat they disperse in the environment.
It seems that one Italian on five suffers from disturbances of sleep and 14% of chronic insomnia. But recent studies defined that insomnia is not a lack of sleep, but an unsatisfactory sleep, which is the lack of well-being which we should experience while awakening..
