Parma, Italy, may be best known for its parmigiano reggiano cheeses. But the region is also famous for its glassmakers, including the Luigi Bormioli company. Founded in 1946 by Luigi Bormioli, the company today manufactures a wide range of crystal glassware known for its affordability and style. Homeowners looking to add Luigi Bormioli glassware to their dining tables are fortunate. The company makes a wide variety of glassware, most of which is available in department and home stores in the United States.

Michelangelo

The company's Michelangelo collection of glassware is known for its classical sense of styling. Including everything from tapered water pitchers and glass serving bowls to traditional glass juice, goblet and beer glasses, this collection is appropriate for both casual and more formal dining.

The company's Magnifico line is an unusual one. It is made up of the same design rendered in five different sizes of wine stems and a champagne flute. The design here is made of elegant bowls and long, thin stems. The staffers at Luigi Bormioli recommend this collection of glassware for more formal occasions.

Luigi Bormioli manufactures glassware for families of all types. The Lucia collection is designed as a starter collection for families who have just purchased a home. This collection of everyday glassware includes tumblers, wine glasses, goblets and traditional beverage glasses.

With a growing number of families trying to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle, it's little surprise that Luigi Bormioli has introduced its Green collection. The glassware in this collection does boast a green tint, but each piece in this collection is also made from 100 percent recycled glassware. This set includes tumblers, dip bowls, goblets and a three-section divided bowl.

Despite its name, the company's Gourmet collection is actually designed for everyday use. However, if guests drop by unexpectedly, the Gourmet collection tumblers, goblets and wine glasses can double as an elegant servicing choice.
