Commissioning and shipping to the United States
Consultations take place online, in English or Italian, at a time that suits your time zone. During the work you receive photographs of every stage; the icon arrives with its certificate of authenticity on real parchment and an explanatory booklet in English. Shipments to the United States require customs documentation and, because international rules and conditions change often, arrangements, timing, costs and any import charges are checked at the time of commission.
