Italian Food Map Copper Backsplash — Hand-Hammered Kitchen Wall Art
A map of Italy, hand-hammered in copper relief, surrounded by the foods that define each region — pizza from Naples, pasta from Bologna, cheese from Parma, wine from Tuscany, olive oil from Puglia. Every province rendered in raised copper, every iconic ingredient given its place on the map. The most Italian thing you can put on a kitchen wall, and the only one made by hand in copper.
Hand-hammered from flat copper sheet in our family workshop using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The map of Italy is worked in full dimensional relief — the boot shape, the regional borders, the food illustrations rising from the surface with the depth and texture that only hand-hammering produces. Available in all 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made and installed.
Make It Yours
- Change the finish — Natural Copper for a warm, classic look; Brown Copper for an aged map feel; Silver–Copper Details for a two-tone effect with the relief in warm copper against a silver background; Black Copper for maximum drama
- Highlight a specific region — emphasize a particular province, city, or region that means something to you — your family’s hometown, a place you love
- Add a name, date, or phrase — a family name, a year, or a phrase in Italian worked into the border or composition
- Change the map — request a different country or region: France, Greece, Spain, Sicily alone, Tuscany alone, or any geography that belongs on your wall
Note your request at checkout or reach out before ordering — we’ll send a digital preview before production begins.

Installation & Care
Installation & Care
Installation — three methods:
- Adhesive — stick directly over existing tile, drywall, wood, or stone using any standard construction adhesive. Most popular method. Most customers install in under an hour.
- Screw mount — for large, heavy, or outdoor panels. Ships with screws and decorative caps included.
- Hanging wire — for wall art, signs, and removable installations.
For multi-piece panels: install the central piece first, borders second.
Care:
Wipe with a soft damp cloth. For grease or cooking splashes, warm water and mild dish soap. No polishing, waxing, or re-sealing — ever. The finish you receive is the finish it keeps.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
Free shipping across the US. Production approximately 3 weeks. Delivered to your door within a month. All-inclusive price — no hidden fees.
As every panel is made to your exact specifications, it cannot be returned or exchanged — but if it ever falls short of what was approved, we remake it at no cost.
