To use this Vietri Foresta Medium Tree with Gold Star, you can place it in a prominent spot in your home, like on a mantel or a coffee table, to add a touch of Italian winter charm. When handling it, be gentle as it's a hand - crafted piece. To keep it looking its best, dust it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it might fade the colors. If it gets dirty, you can use a slightly damp cloth to wipe it carefully.
