The Words of Things

A thoughtfully curated concept shop in Cocconato's historic centre — books, artisan objects, stationery and handmade gifts selected with quiet intelligence. The name, "the words of things," describes the philosophy perfectly: objects that mean something, chosen by someone who thought carefully about why. The selection is not large and is not meant to be — every item in the shop is there because it earned its place through some quality of making, material or idea that distinguishes it from everything it might have been instead.

One of those rare shops you enter without a plan and leave having found something you didn't know you needed — a book in Italian that you can't read but that will sit correctly on a shelf, a piece of stationery made from paper that feels the way paper should, an object with a use that is immediately obvious and a form that is satisfying to hold. Open afternoons; closed Monday. Fifteen minutes from Bric del Vento, and the right kind of thing to do with a quiet hour in Cocconato.
