Our Favorite Italian Candles

Cereria Introna, or Introna Waxworks, is run by Vincenzo and Rossella Introna, sixth-generation owners of a truly remarkable family-run business. Candlemaking and the spirit of artistry must run in the blood of this family. As ideas formed for Fruit and Flower Shop and conversations began with the charming Vincenzo in Bari, Italy, we could not resist the line of fruits and vegetables.

It was a joy to unpack each candle and admire the detail of every piece. The coloring, texture and craftsmanship all reflect the hard work and skill of each generation who worked to build Cereria Introna.

There are so many special reasons to admire this line: the history of the Introna family, the Italian heritage and charm, the craftsmanship and detail, the light-heartedness of the very concept of the pieces, being somewhat kitschy while remaining timeless.

These candles can stand alone as artwork. Though, why not bring some Italian spirit into your home? Light the candles as a centerpiece to a feast, pour the wine and enjoy a convivial, candlelit evening with friends.
