If you think of Italian dishes as gaudy, Baroque serving plates and bowls painted with tomatoes, olives and basil, think again.
Artist and design duo, Thanos Zakopoulos and Katia Meneghini, recently created Monumentale, a collection of dinner plates that were designed to celebrate classic Italian architecture, such as the Pantheon and the Rotonda Del Brunelleschi. Each white plate is decorated a gold or silver pattern around the outside that corresponds with the floor plan of one of four historical Italian buildings.
“The collection aims to promote cultural knowledge and the familiarization with Italian heritage around the table through a series of different designs,” they say.
