What you'll find in this section
Easter is an occasion that brings together the table, gift-giving and, often, spring ceremonies: christenings, first communions and confirmations fall between April and June, and Easter decorations themselves lend themselves well as an insert for wedding favours or as a centrepiece for the celebration. For this reason L'Arcolaio — a 5,000 sqm shop in Pignataro Interamna, just a few minutes from Cassino motorway junction on the A1, open Monday to Sunday — has selected products that cover all three of these needs: decorating your home, giving something sweet, and setting up a ceremony.
The section features 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 widest range is from EDG Enzo De Gasperi (since 1970), which for Easter offers three distinct product families.
Hanging eggs — The mirror eggs in polycarbonate (H 10 cm, D 7.5 cm) are available in light blue, aqua and other pastel shades. The ribbon eggs for hanging come in three sizes: H 16 cm, H 20 cm and H 28 cm, all in assorted multicolour versions. The hand-blown glass eggs (H 13.5 cm, D 9.5 cm) are available in lavender and blue. They pair well with dried branches, natural garlands or centrepieces: just a few pieces are enough to give character to a table or shelf.
Decorative bunnies — The Twist Bunny (H 37 cm, D 10 cm) is available in four colours — blue, lavender, pink, orange — with movement and integrated LED lights. It's a statement piece for anyone who wants a decorative corner that stands out. The line also includes plush bunnies (H 28 cm) in pale pink, more understated and suitable as a gift for children. Baskets with a chick (H 23 cm, D 12 cm) complete the selection with a festive element to display.
Sitting hen eggs — Set of 12 pieces in mini format (H 4 cm), matte and glossy, available in lavender. Useful as place cards, to fill bowls or baskets, or as an insert for wedding 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, suitable for those who prefer an interior design style rather than a festive one. Four references in the catalogue, easily matched with vases and arrangements already in your home.
Maxtris sweets and Sal de Riso specialities
For the sweet section, the selection includes:
- Maxtris: light blue tin egg with assorted foil-wrapped candies (80 gr) — a simple and colourful gift, also suitable as a gesture for children during a spring ceremony.
- Sal de Riso: ricotta and pear dove cake (1 kg), milk chocolate and gianduja egg, chocolate ceramics with Easter decoration. Products for those looking for something more refined, suitable as a gift for adults or as an edible centrepiece.
If you're looking for glass jars and vials to package Maxtris eggs neatly, you'll find that separate section with containers also suitable for ceremony wedding favours.
How to choose the right Easter egg
To decorate your Easter table — The EDG hanging mirror eggs are the most versatile starting point: they're affordable, work with any style and can be placed in bowls or hung on branches. For a more impressive display, the LED Twist Bunny is the showstopper that needs nothing else around it.
For a sweet gift — Maxtris tin eggs with foil-wrapped candies are an affordable gift, suitable for children and adults alike. For a higher-level gift — someone you really care about — Sal de Riso chocolate ceramics or the ricotta and pear dove cake have a character that makes them stand out from the crowd.
For a spring ceremony (christening, first communion, confirmation) — Mini sitting hen eggs EDG (set of 12, H 4 cm) work well as an insert for sweet bags. Combined with Maxtris eggs in an organza sachet, they become a simple but refined Easter wedding favour. For the Christmas decorations EDG Enzo De Gasperi and other occasions throughout the year, you'll find dedicated sections on the website.
For a minimal style — The Floral Egg Fade eggs (13.5 × 16.5 cm) in green, blue or pink are the alternative for those who want something understated, without mirrored finish and without LED. They work well on shelves, bookcases or as an accompaniment to a bunch of real or artificial flowers.
