“For my project in St. Helena, I wanted to
use custom architectural bronze windows and
doors that CoorItalia imports from Italy.
After visiting the factory and having met the
artisans, I was convinced that Alessio could
provide the high quality that I was looking
for to meet my client’s expectations.
In addition to the windows and doors, the
project included antique roof tiles and French
limestones for the interior floors.”

“The fireplace that I designed (pictured on

CoorItalia successfully executed for my client’s
dream house.
Alessio organized a tour in Italy to visit
locations where the client and I chose the
materials to use, met some artisans, and
visited a travertine quarry. With this trip,
we also discovered a few architectural antique
elements, which were used throughout the
project.
Three years later, CoorItalia supplied
25 containers of building materials from
antique roof tiles, Tuscan travertine pavers,
and dimensional pieces to the carving of the
featured magnificent fireplace in Vicenza
limestone.”

My latest project in Sonoma is the Jacuzzy
Winery. When I saw the Italian roof tiles,
the Tuscan travertine cobblestone, and the
new and reclaimed terracotta pavers that
CoorItalia supplied, I was impressed with
the quality of the products and the timing
of delivery.
Our project was on a very sensitive schedule
and the decision by the owner to purchase
materials from overseas could have meant
delays. Instead, CoorItalia delivered on time
and all the material arrived in excellent
conditions.
