When i go into the local dealer that has alot of pellet stoves to choose from, i have had 3 different sales people steer me toward these stove made in Italy.
I have to admit, they look nice, and you cannot hear them run, very quiet, but i dont think they have been out that long..here in North America.. here is there web site

I have a Piazzetta Sabrina. So, what's your question? How long they've been here? I dunno, but it seems like people started posting in 2012 about Piazzettas, so I'm guessing they've been here 2 seasons. I bought mine in November.
The Sabrina is the larger of the two models my dealer had available, 47k btu, and they also have a smaller Monia, 37k btu. They both have a majolica option, which strangely changes their name. Here in Maine, the Sabrina seemed the obvious choice as my dealer offered the Sabrina for only $300 more than the Monia. The Sabrina also has a 66lb hopper, while the Monia's is only 35lbs I believe. For me, 66lbs is perfect as my average winter day, I burn 1 and a half bags, so I have an easy daily routine.
Pros= works well, contemporary styling, no prob running off my whole house generator.
Cons= mfr has not been here long, glass fogs up quickly, ash pan is the size of a teacup.
What else… I've never seen anyone on this site in my short time here, ask for help with a part failing. If you notice most threads here are from people asking for help or advice, so that's a good sign! Daily clean takes 5 mins. Weekly clean takes 20 mins. Get yourself a nice Powersmith Ash vac, and you'll have no probs with the small ash pan as it takes 5 secs to suck it out.
Oh, the Piazzetta, like many of the euro models has a control board with a lot of settings that you can configure from pellet feed rates to combustion air.
Forgot to add, in the last week or so I've learned that a lot of the euro stoves like Piazzetta, Ecoteck, Astroflamm and Palazzetti use common parts, like control boards, combustion fans, so that if one needs a part, there's a little less risk knowing that there are more sources for parts than just one foreign mfr.
