BERTAZZONI!!



i have finally decided on a range!
i am so excited 
because i have been struggling with this decision...
i have a love hate relationship
with stainless steel...

it certainly is timeless but 
i am over the trendy BIG stainless steel appliances
that everybody had to have 10 years ago....
including me in the atlanta
house...

i have been looking at white and stainless
(like the white viking)



but it still seems a little bulky and a bit trendy...

i have discovered a beautiful designer
Bertazzoni...
and it's italian!

this range will give me just what i am looking for...
a sleeker more delicate look
that is also timeless...



i love the knobs! 
years ago i put a wolf in the atlanta house
because i just had to have those red knobs....

these are different and i love how small they are...


this is it! 
what do you think??

i have been reading about the company 
and i am just thrilled with my choice...



It all started in the late 19th century when Francesco Bertazzoni, founder of the dynasty, saw wood burning stoves arriving in his home town Guastalla on a new railroad that connected with the industrial centers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
These wood-burning stoves set Francesco to thinking, and with his son Antonio he decided to make stoves like the ones they had seen from the north – just for local use to begin with, and in very small quantities. So in 1882 the Bertazzoni company was born.
The new stoves were soon a success, and before long the Bertazzoni name become known across Italy. The family built their first factory in 1909, and expanded again In the 1920s making cooking stoves on a much larger scale.
Ranges, cooktops, ventilation hoods and accessories are mainly made from stainless steel as well as other metals, with few plastic parts. This means that 99% of materials we use for making our products, as well as the packaging it comes in, are recyclable.
All materials we use retain their composition when kept in contact with common food substances (like water and oil). Bertazzoni is RoHS compliant (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). That means our selected suppliers and materials are safe.
