The windows of Pasticceria Marchesi for Christmas 2017 capture the anticipation involved in the run-up to the big day.
An Advent calendar is the main feature of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and Santa Maria alla Porta shops, with small windows opened day after day, revealing traditional Christmas creations.
The windows of Via Monte Napoleone, meanwhile, present a fairy-tale setting, with frost-adorned miniature Christmas trees and decorations providing the backdrop for decorated pandoro and panettone, which recall the special range of pandoro and panettone, covered in almond paste and embellished with handmade royal icing decorations, available inside the store.
The Christmas catalogue has also been expanded, with a new calza della Befana (Christmas stocking) and a selection of rare Grand Cru teas sitting alongside the traditional Marchesi 1824 Christmas collection, comprising pralines, gianduiotti, marron glacé, nougat, fruit jellies, jams and dragées.
