Collegio alla Querce, Auberge Collection, has announced the addition of two new culinary offerings in collaboration with tableware designer Aquazzura Casa.

The partnership brings together the hospitality expertise of Collegio alla Querce and the design sensibility of Aquazzura Casa, led by Edgardo Osorio. Chef Nicola Zamperetti’s culinary approach is presented alongside Aquazzura Casa’s Secret Garden collection, created in a bespoke colour palette for the property and featuring delicate greens with references to 18th-century porcelain.

Afternoon Tea at the Conservatorio features teas from the ‘Inspired by Florence’ collection, which draws on the city’s cultural and artisanal heritage. Blends include Il Mistero di Venere with rose and pink pepper, Il Sogno di Michelangelo with citrus and lavender and Santa Maria del Fiore with Earl Grey and blue flowers. Sweet and savoury items created by the Collegio alla Querce team accompany the teas, with options such as Amedei hot chocolate, single origin coffee, Pol Roger Champagne and tea based cocktails also available.

Sunday Brunch at La Gamella follows a format rooted in Italian dining traditions, with fresh pasta prepared in the open kitchen and main courses served family style. The programme incorporates weekly collaborations with Tuscan wineries, each presenting a selection of labels that reflect regional character. Producers such as Ricasoli and Tenuta di Biserno will join upcoming editions, offering pairings that complement the culinary direction of the menu.

Both offerings are set with the Secret Garden collection, which provides a consistent design element linking Aquazzura Casa’s visual identity with the culinary approach at Collegio alla Querce.

“With this initiative we want to offer our guests an experience that goes beyond simple tasting,” comments General Manager, Lorenzo Maraviglia. “The dialogue with Aquazzura represents an authentic encounter between two Florentine excellences that share the same vision: celebrating beauty, creativity and Italian savoir-faire in every detail.”
