I spent two years living in Italy and moving back to the states I really missed the culture and beauty of Italy. I found a little piece of Italy at Bellagio Interiors in Lake Oswego. I spotted a carved alabastar lamp in their front window that was exactly like one I had in Italy but had to leave behind. I went inside to check it out and purchased it immediately but was pleasantly surprised to find many Italian lamps, lighting and artwork. I felt like I was in Italy again. Ornate gold-leaf chandeliers, gilt mirrors everywhere and beautifully carved alabaster and marble. Heavenly Italy right here in Lake Oswego! From the red and gold banners in their front windows to the Carnivale jester perched high in the store, Italy was everywhere in this store. Now I have a little retreat when I get homesick for Italy. My purchase from Bellagio are helping me turn my northwest home into my own little Italian villa. Bellagio should be visited for the cultural experience alone.
Pros: Real Italian decor!
