"FLORENTIA" is a global collection designed by Akira Minagawa, following "SPERANZA," released in 2017, and "GAIA," released in 2018. The Vecchio shape, which is Richard Ginori's signature shape and which means "city of the flower goddess" and from which the name Florence is derived, is adorned with a lovely design of branches and small flowers painted by Minagawa in the new Ginori blue.

The space that opens out from the center to the outside is designed to resemble the scene when food is served, and the delicate shading created by the brush tip gives a sense of warmth.

Minagawa commented, "For this theme, 'Florentia,' I imagined Florence, the city where Richard Ginori is located, and created a world in which flowers seem to gush forth like a fountain within the plate. I imagined the positioning of the food on each plate and arranged the images in a way that would give the dining space a soft sense of dynamism and a refreshing breeze."
