This distinctive Italian wall hanging is a beautiful way to toast your family':s heritage or the heritage of a special Italian friend or family. The Italian toast is written in elegant calligraphy and reads "May your life be like a good wine Tasty Sharp and Clear And like good wine may it improve with every passing year" and ends with "SALUTE" which is an Italian toast for "health" or "well being". Under glass, the mats of the Italian toast are hand cut double beveled and feature a lovely bright teal green color. A woven beige tapestry ribbon runs down the side of the blessing and complements the teal mat giving the Italian toast plaque a pleasing coordinated look. Framing the Italian toast plaque is a one inch gold colored decorative wood frame which gives the plaque a finished size of 13 by 16 inches. The Italian toast plaque would make a perfect anniversary, wedding, housewarming or Christmas gift and comes gift boxed so would be easy to present to the special Italian people you are gifting.
