Domenica Italiana

Carolina Venosi

Rome, Italy

The sweetness of dolce far niente

Carolina Venosi is an entrepreneur, architect and communication consultant born and raised in Rome, Italy.

After graduating in Architecture, Carolina worked for 8 years in marketing and communication in agencies, then became Marketing Director in a fashion company.
She later resigned to fully dedicate herself to her first project, Rome is More, which has now become a small business with a team of 4 people and its first flagship store in Testaccio.
Four years later, she has founded the brand "Domenica Italiana" to serve as a contemporary manifesto of Italian identity.

"I wanted to create something that would remind us every day of that special day of the week, dedicated to love and self-care, where time flows slowly and we seek for simplicity, like the gesture of lighting a candle" - she claims.

You might wonder...

The fragrances of our candles are designed by drawing inspiration from the dishes they are dedicated to and taking the main olfactory notes as a reference.
However, they don't smell exactly like the dish they represent, as that might not be pleasant to light in your home!
For candles with sweeter notes (e.g., Cappuccino, Tiramisu, Saffron Risotto, etc.), there will be a stronger resemblance to the dish of inspiration. For the savory variants (e.g., Carbonara, Margherita Pizza, etc.), a more conceptual approach was taken with the fragrance.

Try to believe!

Absolutely not. Domenica Italiana candles are made from high-quality vegan wax, completely traceable and sustainable, with the addition of a natural blend of soy and oils formulated to melt in a uniform and slow burn.

Value in the details

A product designed with re-use in mind

Every stage of the production process is carefully monitored, from selecting the wick to melting the wax and final finishing. Just like at the table, nothing goes to waste! The ceramic jars can be reused once the candle is finished. The packaging is designed to be cut to create a postcard.
