Set Decorators
Expert set decorators bringing Italian interiors to life—from Renaissance palazzo splendor to contemporary Milanese design.
A set decorator selects and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and decorative details that bring a production designer's vision to life on screen. In Italy, this means working within one of the world's richest design traditions—from the frescoed villas of Tuscany and the Baroque palaces of Naples to the sleek modernism of Milan's design district. Italian decorative arts have shaped global aesthetics for centuries, and that heritage is reflected in the depth of local sourcing available.
We connect you with Italian set decorators who know where to source locally—from Cinecittà Studios' legendary prop warehouses and Rome's Via dei Coronari antique dealers to Milan's Brera design showrooms and Florence's artisan workshops in the Oltrarno. Our network spans the entire peninsula, with professionals experienced in dressing everything from Roman villas to Sicilian fishing villages.
