What you'll find in this section
Easter is an occasion that brings together the table, gift-giving and, often, spring ceremonies: baptisms, first communions and confirmations fall between April and June, and the same Easter decorations work perfectly as inserts for party favours or as table centrepieces for the celebration. For this reason L'Arcolaio — a 5,000 sq m shop in Pignataro Interamna, just a few minutes from the Cassino exit of the A1 motorway, open Monday to Sunday — has selected products that cover all three of these needs: decorating your home, giving something sweet, arranging a ceremony.
The section contains 77 active products from five brands: EDG Enzo De Gasperi (the largest part), Fade, Maxtris, Sal de Riso and Due Esse Distribuzioni for greeting cards.
EDG Enzo De Gasperi Easter decorations
The largest product line is EDG Enzo De Gasperi (since 1970), which for Easter proposes three distinct product families.
Hanging eggs — Mirror eggs in mirrored polycarbonate (H 10 cm, D 7.5 cm) are available in light blue, aqua and other pastel shades. Hanging eggs with bow are available in three sizes: H 16 cm, H 20 cm and H 28 cm, all in assorted multicolour version. Hand-blown glass eggs (H 13.5 cm, D 9.5 cm) are available in lavender and light blue. They pair well with dried branches, natural garlands or table centrepieces: just a few pieces are enough to add character to a table or shelf.
Decorative rabbits — The Coniglio Twist (H 37 cm, D 10 cm) is available in four colours — blue, lavender, pink, orange — with movement and integrated LED lights. It's a focal piece for those who want a decorative corner that stands out. The line also includes plush rabbits (H 28 cm) in pale pink, more understated and suitable as gifts for children. Baskets with chick (H 23 cm, D 12 cm) complete the selection with a festive element to display.
Hen eggs — Set of 12 pieces in mini format (H 4 cm), matte and glossy, available in lavender. Useful as place cards, for filling bowls or baskets, or as an insert for party favours.
Fade decorative eggs
Fade (since 1965) offers the Floral Eggline: decorative eggs in floral style, 13.5 × 16.5 cm format, available in blue, green and pink. A more understated and contemporary alternative to EDG mirror decorations, suited to those who prefer an interior design style rather than a festive look. Four references in the catalogue, easily paired with vases and arrangements already in your home.
Maxtris sweets and Sal de Riso specialities
For the sweet offerings, the selection includes:
- Maxtris: light blue tin egg with foil-wrapped sweets mix (80 gr) — a simple and colourful gift, also suitable as a keepsake for children during a spring ceremony.
- Sal de Riso: ricotta and pear colomba cake 1 kg, milk chocolate and hazelnut Easter egg, chocolate ceramics with Easter decoration. Products for those seeking something more refined, suitable as a gift for adults or as an edible table centrepiece.
If you're looking for glass jars and test tubes to package the Maxtris eggs neatly, you'll find that separate section with containers also suitable for ceremony party favours.
How to choose the right Easter egg
To decorate your Easter table — EDG hanging mirror eggs are the most versatile starting point: they're affordable, match any style and can be placed in bowls or hung on branches. For a more important arrangement, the Twist Rabbit with LED is the statement piece that takes centre stage without needing anything else around it.
For a sweet gift — Maxtris tin eggs with foil-wrapped sweets are an accessible thought, suitable for children and adults. For a higher-level gift — someone you truly care about — Sal de Riso chocolate ceramics or the ricotta and pear colomba have a character that sets them apart from the ordinary.
For a spring ceremony (baptism, first communion, confirmation) — EDG mini hen eggs (set of 12, H 4 cm) work well as an insert for confetti bags. Combined with Maxtris eggs in an organza sachet, they become a simple yet refined Easter party favour. For Christmas decorations by EDG Enzo De Gasperi and other occasions throughout the year, you'll find dedicated sections on the site.
For minimal style — Fade Floral Egg eggs (13.5 × 16.5 cm) in green, blue or pink are the alternative for those wanting something understated, without mirrored finish and without LED. They work well on shelves, bookshelves or as accompaniment to a bunch of real or artificial flowers.
