On a freestanding or deck-mounted tub, every extra object competes with the silhouette. The Giotto Plus rim-mounted group answers with a disappearing act: two mixers, a spout and a retractable hand shower, all in satin AISI 316L stainless steel — and when the hand shower is not in use, it sits back into the deck, leaving four quiet circles of steel and nothing else.

The trick is not a gadget; it is discipline. Giotto by Cea Design, designed by Natalino Malasorti, builds the entire faucet collection from the pure form of the circle, so even a four-piece bathtub group reads as one composed line rather than a row of equipment. The satin steel keeps reflections low and lets the tub and the tiled wall remain the protagonists.

Around the bathtub, the collection covers the rest of the room in the same language: washbasin and bidet mixers in progressive, dual-handle and thermostatic logic, shower groups, wall-mounted remote controls, the single-lever Giotto Plus line and a matching accessories collection. La Mercanti delivers and follows the project across the United States.

FAQ

Which Giotto options exist for a bathtub without a wall behind it?
Two: the rim-mounted progressive groups GIO112 and GIO113 of the main collection, and the Giotto Plus deck group with two mixers, spout and retractable hand shower.
What material is the Giotto collection made of?
AISI 316L stainless steel throughout, offered in satin and polished surfaces plus the special finishes Black Diamond, Bronze, Copper and Light Gold.
Can the shower controls be placed away from the shower head?
Yes — Giotto includes a wide remote-control family: thermostatic groups and mixers, a diverter plate, progressive mixers and shut-off valves, wall- or deck-mounted.
What is the single-water faucet in the Giotto range?
The GIO47 delivers one water only, with no mixing: the collection's simplest piece, drawn with the same circular geometry as the rest of the range — typically specified where cold water alone is required.
How are Giotto lead times handled for US projects?
Delivery times are confirmed in writing at order confirmation; La Mercanti coordinates production and shipping to the United States for each project.

How to check a Giotto delivery before installation day

Five verifications that take twenty minutes at receiving and save weeks later, for any Giotto order arriving on a US job site.

Reconcile boxes against the Giotto order list
Match every carton to the confirmed order lines — codes, quantities, versions. A Giotto range can mix basin, shower, deck and remote-control items that look similar when packed.
Verify surfaces in daylight
Open each Giotto piece and check the confirmed surface — satin, polished or a special finish — under natural light, before the plumber's schedule depends on it.
Group the pieces by room
Sort the delivery into per-bathroom sets: basin mixers, shower groups, deck-mounted parts, remote controls. Mixed pallets are where single Giotto components go missing.
Photograph and report on the spot
Any transport mark on a Giotto surface gets photographed at receiving and reported immediately to La Mercanti, while the packaging is still available.
Store handles and visible parts separately
Keep the Giotto handles, rosettes and spouts in their protective wrapping, stored dry and flat, until the final installation pass — they are the last pieces to go on and the first to be seen.
