With its three Michelin stars, Da Vittorio represents one of the highest expressions of Italian gastronomic excellence on the international fine-dining scene. Set within the Da Vittorio Relais & Châteaux estate in Brusaporto (Bergamo), the restaurant is guided with passion by the Cerea family. Immersed in lush countryside – with well-tended gardens, playgrounds, and natural lakes – the estate offers an oasis of tranquillity. Every detail is designed to create an unforgettable experience: from the three-Michelin-starred cuisine of brothers Enrico and Roberto Cerea to the refined hospitality of the charming boutique hotel La Dimora.
The experience of taste is accompanied by a lighting itinerary curated by Catellani & Smith, which begins inside the Da Vittorio restaurant and continues throughout the estate. The restaurant’s rooms, with finely decorated ceilings, exposed beams, white boiserie, and Caravaggio-style paintings, welcome the guests among silverware and beautiful floral arrangements. On every round table, a custom Giulietta BE lamp, featuring the Da Vittorio logo laser-engraved on its base, provides a soft light that can be adjusted with a slight touch of the hand, enhancing the dining atmosphere.
The restaurant also hosts the elegant American Bar Da Vittorio, where the Giulietta BE lamp, thanks to its battery power, can be easily transported from the bar counter to the coffee tables. The perfect atmosphere for enjoying an excellent drink and engaging in pleasant conversation is made even more special by the warm light of Fil de Fer floor lamp, in the anodized golden finish, enhancing the dark wood of the boiserie and the bar display.
Next to the restaurant, yet fully independent, is the casual dining DaV Cantalupa, recently renovated by Joseph Di Pasquale Architects. Overlooking the park and swimming pool, the space opens to nature through large windows. Its spacious interiors are illuminated by a custom suspended version of Pòta!: brass rods intersect and house a handcrafted glass lighting unit that integrates modern LED filament technology.
On the marble tables, the portable Giulietta BE lamp is customised with the DaV logo. Beyond gastronomy, Da Vittorio Relais & Châteaux offers exclusive hospitality through La Dimora, a charming boutique hotel with a selection of rooms and suites defined by timeless romantic elegance. In the hotel’s corridors, the Light Stick lamp in a brass finish illuminates the spaces with refined minimalism, casting a soft, diffuse lighting along the walls thanks to the LEDs housed in its structure.
Catellani & Smith’s creations also find their place in the estate’s park. Along pathways surrounded by rich vegetation, many outdoor lamps like Fil de Fer, Syphasera, Syphasfera, and
Syphaduepassi shape the landscape with striking light effects. Each corner becomes an evocative scene, such as the pergola where a composition of More suspension lamps lights a convivial outdoor table.
