Italian Limoncello

Pallini Limoncello is made in Italy by the Pallini family

About Limoncello

THE HISTORY OF LIMONCELLO

Limoncello, the uniquely Italian liqueur, is the delicious result of an abundance of lemons and a dose of patience (lemon rinds, full of essential oils, are infused with sugar and alcohol, and macerate for several months). (more about this site)

Italy’s Favorite Liqueur

Pallini Limoncello, the liqueur we have chosen for our event on October 4^th, is made in Italy by the Pallini family. This refreshing lemon liqueur is crafted from an authentic family recipe created more than 100 years ago by the Pallini family. It is made with Italy’s finest Sfusato Amalfitano lemons that are hand-selected for optimal freshness and flavor.

Janine has created a gift registry at Christina’s Lingerie in Boulder, Colorado. We don’t have pictures for all the items on this registry—if you call Christina’s they’ll tell you about other items on the list.

Purchases can be made by calling the store. Shipping is estimated to be approximately $10, and you may ship to your home, to the shower location (address available on your invitation), or to Janine (address is on file at Christina’s). However, the ladies at Christina’s have offered to gift wrap all purchases (please request gift wrapping and hold delivery for Janine), and Janine has offered to drop by the store on September 25 to pick up the packages and bring them to the shower.

Remember, you can use the discussion board to coordinate purchases, transportation to the shower, or anything else!

Piazza Sempione

“Named after a street in Milan, Piazza Sempione was founded by husband and wife Roberto Monti and Marisa Guerrizio in 1991. Piazza Sempione was the street where the couple opened their first shop. Every garment and accessory is entirely produced and distributed at the headquarters in Milan.”

Nice little article about Piazza Sempione–Italian Luxury written by Kendrick Daye (contributor), October 9, 2007 in the broowaha Miami Edition.

“The designs and fabrics used by Piazza Sempione produce a look that declares timeless elegance, provides a flattering fit, subtly exudes quality and provides an incredibly comfortable wear; so much so that, like the Salvatore Ferragamo signature 2-inch heel sling back shoes, you could run in this dress if you wanted to.” Comment from regular customer Mona P.
