Creating quality handcrafted designs
for the garden and home - timeless offerings evoking antiquity.
Campo
de' Fiori derives its name from a small piazza in Rome where
owner Robin Norris' mother used to buy fresh flowers and
vegetables for the family home, Palazzo di Campitelli. Literally,
Campo de' Fiori means "Field
of Flowers" and the combination of flowers and the elegance
of classical Rome combined to inspire its current incarnation.
Before living in Rome, Robin also had the fortune of growing
up, as he puts it, "in a small village where our elders
were an eccentric bunch, given to inspired works and ramblings.
We were blessed with beautiful woods, wonderfully odd homes,
wild and tamed gardens, a mix of whimsical and practical objects
and an irreplaceable sense of belonging."
In the Berkshires, he
met his wife, Barbara Bockbrader, a highly respected horticulturist
and plantswoman. Between Robin's classical eye for design
and Barbara's sensuous plantings, something happened seeds
were sown and from them Campo de' Fiori has come to life.
Their hope is that many will also feel that "irreplaceable sense of belonging" and
find a home in Campo de' Fiori.
