ciao!

I'm Valentina Trentini, the creative force behind Brushetta Signs.

Born and raised in Italy, I grew up surrounded by a culture where craftsmanship, history, and artistry are part of everyday life. That heritage continues to shape my work, inspiring me to preserve traditional techniques while giving historic objects, places, and stories a second life.

Since 2017, I've specialized in hand-painted signage, traditional gold leaf, and period-correct automotive liveries. I combine centuries-old craftsmanship with a modern design perspective to create bespoke work for collectors, restoration specialists, businesses, and brands that value authenticity.

Whether restoring a vintage racing livery, recreating historic lettering, or hand-painting a custom sign or mural, every commission begins with research, respect for history, and meticulous attention to detail.

Based in Los ANgeles & Boulder.
Commissioned Worldwide.

Based between LA, California and Boulder, Colorado, I collaborate with collectors, restoration specialists, luxury brands, architects, designers, and businesses across the country.

My work spans everything from concours-grade vehicle livery restoration and period-correct graphics for vintage cars to hand-painted signs, genuine gold leaf, luxury storefront signage, and custom murals. Every project is approached with the same commitment to authenticity, precision, and timeless craftsmanship.

My automotive restoration work has appeared on collector vehicles shown at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and Monterey Car Week, where historical accuracy and craftsmanship are held to the highest standard. Along the way, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned Porsche restoration expert Rod Emory of Emory Motorsports, contributing to projects that celebrate authenticity and automotive heritage.

Whether it's recreating original roundels and race numbers on a vintage racing livery, hand-painting a Scuderia Ferrari shield, or capturing the spirit of a collector car through paint, my craftsmanship helps keep these stories alive.

While my studio is rooted in Los Angeles and Boulder, my projects regularly take me throughout California, Colorado, Wisconsin and beyond. I'd be honored to bring your vision to life - wherever you are.
