At the heart of Elizabeth Bolognino’s newly renovated kitchen stands the 36-inch Dual Fuel Range from Officine Gullo’s Dolce Vita collection. “I first found Officine Gullo while flipping through a design magazine on a train in Italy,” Bolognino says. “I quickly realized Officine Gullo is the Ferrari of ranges—every range is handmade in Florence and of the utmost quality. I knew they would become the crown jewel of my kitchens.”
The Dolce Vita 36-inch Dual Fuel Range combines form and function, featuring a setup that includes three professional burners, three high-powered sealed burners, and a 5.7-cubic-foot self-cleaning oven with dual convection with meat probe for precision cooking. With an industrial steel aesthetic paired with the signature elegance of Officine Gullo, it elevates any kitchen, whether classic or contemporary.
In designing her kitchen, Bolognino aimed for a thoughtful evolution of her home’s original charm. “Our home is traditional, so we wanted to honor that while updating the overall look, but in a respectful way,” she explains. “The boxes of my kitchen cabinets are original; I didn’t see the need to rip something out that was so well-made and in excellent condition.”
To bridge past and present, she chose a burnished brass finish for the range, paired with a custom hood. A mix of Farrow & Ball Skimming Stone and Benjamin Moore Cashmere Grey balances warm and cool tones, highlighting the Calacatta turquoise island and backsplash. These materials create what Bolognino calls a kitchen that feels “effortlessly chic, usable, refined, glamorous but underspoken, quiet.”
Bolognino praises the Dolce Vita’s clever design touches: “I love the black surface beneath the burner grates—it’s a subtle detail but brilliant for hiding everyday mess. The mix of metals adds character, and the precision I have over the flame is unmatched. Investing in a range like this means investing in your lifestyle—it changes the way you cook and live.”
