Opening our store in the center of Trieste, has transformed a dream into reality.
We have long dreamed about establishing our business in this international, open and vibrant city.
When we first visited the store, located in a historic building in via Santa Caterina da Siena, it was love at first sight. After 14 months of projects, decisions, hard work and sacrifices we finally opened the doors of our new store in Trieste on the 15th September.
From that day, Trieste and our guests became part of this exciting new journey.
Friends and guests gathered outside the building where they toasted and chatted whilst being entertained by pleasant live music. The Mayor of Trieste joined the family and staff for the the cutting of the inaugural ribbon which was followed by Mrs and Mr Villini’s emotional speech.
The Mayor recalled that the city of Trieste is constantly thriving and becoming more attractive thanks to its beauty, quality of life, elegance and position. He then thanked the Villini family and wished them good luck in their new venture which follows the recent openings of prestigious brands, such as Sacher and Illy.
Silvana, Luca and the Villini team then proceeded to welcome guests into the new store with warmth and cordiality, as they always do.
And this particular family spirit was also felt through the presence of children.
Upon entering the building, guests were welcomed by stylish and contemporary interiors, featuring spacious and bright spaces with white and grey walls, a red counter and luminous display cases. To the upper left a glass wall revealed a mezzanine and part of the beautiful staircase which was embellished by eye-catching art pieces and sculptures.
Guests made their way upstairs to explore the unique features of the upper floors where they admired meticulous details, modern sculptures, luminous display cases framed by lacquered walls, like masterpieces in a museum, spectacular and unique jewels, prestigious watches, gilded accessories and precious crafted items.
The sleek and elegant layout of the store leads to adjoining rooms and spaces, interspersed with private lounges designed to offer intimacy and privacy whilst displaying the most prestigious brands, often exclusive to Villini.
Everything has been taken care of down to the smallest detail. A refined catering offered culinary wonders to relish and satisfy both the palate and the eyes of the delighted guests.
After admiring the interiors, many guests gathered outside to appreciate the facade of the building, the spectacular shop windows and the stunning architecture of the surrounding buildings and to compliment the Villini family, both for the design of their new store as well as for the warmth and elegance of the event.
On Saturday 16 September, the store finally opened to the public and the response from the city has been truly enthusiastic.
