With shelves lined with brightly hand painted Ceramics, Biordi Art Imports has a museum-like attraction. The secret of Biordi's success is to maintain a clientele with taste and fond appreciation for Italian Renaissance style Maiolica: exquisite objects d'art finely crafted; dinnerware handsomely hand painted; unique decorative accessories and much more. To achieve our goal we always have searched and selected the best artisans from old traditional Maiolica centers of Italy: Deruta, Faenza, Montelupo, Siena, Caltagirone, Castelli, Pesaro, Vietri.

Today, Biordi Art Imports, like the contents lining its shelves, is a business of true craftsmanship. It is the place where our customers would send their friends telling them, "You can buy me anything in that store and I would love it!" This statement may be true, not just for the beauty but also for the functionality of our selection. Renaissance, after all, was a form of lifestyle.

We do not advertise. To reach our customer, once a year, we send our beautiful Maiolica catalog the same catalog we now have on-line.

When in San Francisco, please visit our store at 412 Columbus Ave in the heart of famous North Beach. Here you will find a dazzling display of unique items, too many to be in our catalog. We also encourage you to regularly browse our website, www.biordi.com to check for new items, not yet shown in a printed Biordi Catalog.
