Celebrate Summer with Italian Majolica Tables

Summer is upon us, and with it the desire to spend more time outdoors.  The nurseries and landscaping places are all jam-packed each weekend.  Flowers and mulch are being installed in backyards all over the country to welcome a new season.

And with all that work put into creating beautiful yards, what better way to enjoy it than with an al fresco meal on the patio? 

Villaggio has a number of beautiful, charming Italian tables made of hand-painted Majolica with simple materials from the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside.  These tables are a true heirloom that will enchant your family for generations.

Our Italian ceramic tables are made by L'Antica Deruta, one of the superior Majolica manufacturers for years. Established over 50 years ago, the l'Antica Deruta artisans continue to produce some of the best hand-assembled products using age-old techniques originated from Roman times of Deruta and Umbria.

During our visit with Georgio Moretti, third generation owner and current office manager, we discovered that the tiles used for the chairs and tables produced by l'Antica Deruta come solely from the Umbria and Tuscany countrysides. These tiles, used within the tables of the Cotto & Pietra collection, have already been tried and conditioned to withstand the test of the elements across time, and are suited for both soft indoor as well as rugged outdoor use.

The hand-made decorations and inlaid works are a testament to the procedures established by the Masters of Deruta, and are unique and exclusive. These vintage, classic pieces are available in a wide variety of styles, shapes and sizes to suit a multitude of uses and applications both indoor and outside.

Georgio indicated to us during our visit that due to the size and weight of his tables, transportation takes up to 2-3 months outside of Europe. However, after seeing these Italian Majolica tables first-hand, we are certain that each is well worth the wait as they will last many lifetimes!
