Tuscany linen

Tuscany linen – Maximum attention to detail and careful selection of materials, are the two values ​​that guide the company LINO UNA PASSIONE, in Tuscany, in the production of home linen.

The two sisters, work together to offer a customizable tuscany linen product, precious but sober, made out with sophisticated materials and workmanship.

Their workshop of Viareggio in Tuscany is a private home that welcomes interested appointment only maintaining the privacy and exclusivity of the precious goods.

Inside, set in everyday, beautiful furnishings textiles born from the same workshop: the pieces of the collection, all unique, linen and hemp blend with antique lace, embroidery stitch old and counted thread.

Everything is extremely artisanal, hand embroidered personally by the two women, who tell their job with passion, the silent, patient waiting, curiosity and careful observation of the material, the enthusiasm of the result, when there is, and regularly THERE IS! And in any case compare themselves with the gap between subject thought and object made.

The tuscany linen creations are embellished by playing on contrasts between the thickness of the linen and the refinement of lace and fringe work, creating glimpses of light with inserts or bobbin tatting, with sfilature and plots.

“We are often offered old kits passed inheritance” tell “is a thrill to approach drawers and trunks!”

We feel a great shame in approaching things so intimate that speak of romantic dreams of young women not yet wives, fearing fantasies of old aunts and hands of nuns, who have designed a precious world.

But in the activity we only use materials not used, easy to be recognized by the large amount of “sarda”. We do not treat used linen, though beautiful.

Also we like to contrast the rustic beauty of the fabrics with linear designs in the name of practicality of maintenance: items that go in the washing machine for the most part and suitable for every type of furniture”.

Characterized by the natural colors of white, ivory, ecru, brown and gray, the linens used were woven with hand looms from the early twentieth century until the seventies. They are natural, healthy, not colored in line with the respect for the health and enhancement of the Tuscan territory and its resources and traditions.

Cantuccini biscuit new recipes

Cantuccini biscuit new recipes: flavour, fragrance, crumbliness are the characteristics of the new line of cantuccini biscuits by Biscottificio Dogliani. They are a variation from the original recipe for the cantuccio with almonds (biscotto).

This is how they are born, from Dogliani’s mind, and they differ from the classic recipe because almonds have been replaced with chocolate chips, figs, lemon, anise seeds and hazelnuts to obtain tasty specialties and to give a new guise to the products.

It is a deep relationship which unites the Tuscan Biscottifico Dogliani with Tuscany and its flavours.

Angelo and Bartolomeo Dogliani took over a small pastry workshop in Carrara, at the foot of the Apuan Alps, in the 40s. Angelo, together with his brother Bartolomeo, left his homeland and his work as the production manager for a prestigious Piedmont company, but he brought with him a part of “sourdough” and the secrets to keep it through time, the gifts from his affectionate employer and master.

Nowadays, the company development has rewarded the effort and skills of Angelo and the ability of his son Franco to inherit the secrets of the ancient process to renovate the “sourdough” daily. That is why Dogliani products derive from old recipes, but the natural yeasts guarantee their genuineness and fragrance as the daily production guarantees their freshness.

For the design, the graphic creation of the packaging and the photographic campaign of the new gourmet line of the cantucci biscuits and other products such as the panettone, pandoro and focaccia dolce, Biscottificio Dogliani has trusted the Tuscan communication agency Danae Project srl.

Margherita Dogliani tells “We wanted to use the new packaging to tell some of the architecture wonders of historical centres among the most famous ones of Tuscany. Why is that? Maybe because our cantucci biscuits have us think of small bricks for their shape and consistency and also because we want to give those who buy them the chance of bringing back home a small piece of Tuscany…not only to eat.”
