Porte Italia, based north of Venice in Ronchi dei Legionari near Trieste, has roots reaching back 25 years, thanks to the entrepreneurial mind of Enrico Lenarduzzi, assisted today by his wife, Claudia Toso, and their son, Emilio.

In the beginning, Ann Graham, an American artist, conceived the idea that it could be possible to re-create furniture that in the past had enlivened Venetian interiors and would be appealing to discriminating clients worldwide.
Since then the horizons have expanded to include painted doors, panels, mirrors, sofas, chandeliers and even ceramics.

The process is an on-going team effort that involves talented frame-makers, carvers, metal makers, mirror experts, and artists under the guidance of Ann and direction of the Lenarduzzi Family.
Almost any piece of furniture that might be desired is either in the Porte Italia catalog or subject to a client's specification, including beds, chairs, armoires, tables, chaises, chests, secretaries, cupboards, wall units, light fixtures, desks, vanities, as well as bed linens and hangings.

These exclusively Made in Italy products are appreciated by renowned actors, directors, conductors, singers, and designers around the world. They love the color and elegance afforded their villas, grand homes, exclusive hotels, and resorts from Hawaii, Hollywood and New York, to London, Russia, United Arab Emirates, and back to Switzerland and France.
