Where is Casa Cenina?
Casa Cenina is in the Tuscan countryside, not far from Arezzo and close to the Foreste Casentinesi National Park. You will probably find some pictures in the pages dedicated to meetings we have organized. |

How was it born?
Three people with very different background and experience met and started this site in the hope to create a different way to express their creativity. Some were cross-stitching fiends, others were computer wizards; they wanted to start a community for passionate people. While the first version of the site was being built the idea of a shop came up as they realized that there were very few on-line sites dedicated to this beautiful art of embroidery or they were lacking something. Soon they realized that lots of interesting products were made outside Italy and were difficult to get here. With the right amount of arrogance and irresponsibility -necessary for every new enterprise to take place- they decided to transform the Community in a true online shop. |

Who is Who at Casa Cenina?
- Cristina (crys@casacenina.com): she is no doubt the cross stitching expert (she is so daring as to teach workshops for perfect backstitching!) Not contents of this she additionally breeds Norvegian Forests cats and plays role-playing games on line. She is no doubt the one to contact for technical tips. One only problem, you can find her at night but not during the day!
- Monica (monica@casacenina.com): The lover of beauty. Together with Crys she looks for novelties and choses the majority of our products. In addition of being the Lady of the House at Casacenina she handles a large part of the shipping and gives birth to promotional initiatives with Giovanni. If you write to her don't expect to receive a prompt reply - she claims mail trouble all the time!
- Giovanni (aka: ciofina): He is our technical and organizational engine. After traveling the peninsula for years chasing the latest technological invention, he has "retired" at Casa Cenina where he cares for our site in addition to a few others. He may be in charge of computer science but he is getting more and more involved in our cross stitching world. He is always very available to help people solve procedural or technical issues he has now enough cross stitching knowledge to reply to most questions on fabric and yarn as well.
- Federica (federica@casacenina.com): She is the one mediating between the crazy world of an internet business and the people in acconting. Without her experience it would not be possible to send the smallest packet. She has partially abandoned the other occupations and we hope to convince her to get involved with us full time.
- Elena (elena@casacenina.com): She handles accounting and shipping problems for a business growing esponentially more complex every minute. If you have comments that are not compliments she is the one to address them to (nicely!). She was the only one, with Cristina, to actually embroider before Casacenina was born!
- Daniela (daniela@casacenina.com): The ultimate box filler, packet maker and warehouse organizer. She loves playing soccer on her time off and like a coach she directs and instructs her children from afar with her cellphone.
- Caterina (aka: cirillina): She makes beautiful scubidùs (each of us at Casacenina has one of Caterina's hand made key holders) importing the necessary materials directly from the United States. She does not like the idea of selling them on the site (we hope to eventually change her mind) but if you are interested she'll be happy to answer to your questions. She is the actual owner of Casacenina however, therefore the last person to whom you want to address your criticism!
- Marisa (aka: Mary Poppinz): She manages her tiny-weeny store (Angolo del Punto Croce) in Rome where you can pick up your Casacenina orders if you live there. Go visit her!
