... see what Vittoria Grazielli is writing about Giovanni Grazielli`s family business:

"Before I present my different ideas for gifts, I would like to introduce myself and tell you why I started to work for our family company. Since I was a young girl, I’ve lived in Tuscany on my grandfather's winery. I really love the good taste of Italian food, especially the wine of Tuscany. I have always been interested in our good and special wine, so I decided to learn the basics of winemaking from my grandfather Guiseppe.

You can’t imagine all the beautiful memories I had together with my grandfather. It was really hard work, working all day in the vineyards, in the cellar, and a lot of wine tastings and on top of that, enjoying my grandmother Maria’s wonderful Italian cuisine. Imagine having the most wonderful pasta, her special "Polpettine della nonna" (Meatballs served in tomato sauce with olives and tagliatelle), topped by a variety of different cheese from the Tuscany. AND, of course, no lunch or dinner is complete without a good glass of wine from our vineyard.... but it was always clear.

Growing up in a family where design played such an important role, I’ve always known that I would inherit my father's business. I want to bring my good sense of design into our family company; Giovanni Grazielli's Gift Boxes. Giovanni is my father, and he decided to take a different path than my grandfather. He wants to bring the beautiful Italian design gift boxes to your home. I’ve always loved the vision behind our company; to make every gift with a simple, but elegant design more special to your loved ones. My brother Matteo also works in our company. He's responsible for Sales and Marketing.

Family life is everything to us, which means that my grandparents Guiseppe and Maria are the leaders of our "family clan". My mother Aurora stays in the background and makes sure that we can be as creative as possible.

We all maintain a good harmony in our family. As you may know, Italy is known for "Dolce Vita," so after a good working day, we maintain the custom of eating a homemade Pasta with sweet homegrown tomatoes and delicious olives, (Sooo tasty, you have to try it! Maybe I will let you know about my grandmother's TOP SECRET Grazielli Pasta Recipe) and topping it all off with a delicious homemade Tiramisu."
