What are some good ideas for Italian theme centerpieces?

Question:I am putting on a Mothers Day Banquet and it is Italian theme. I need some ideas on center pieces. Thank you.

Answers:
A brilliant centrepiece is one that looks good but also can be used in the meal and taken away as gifts. I saw recently small potted herbs (simple cheap terracotta pots painted gold with little hers planted in them, really cheap, but 3 different types of herbs from nursery, plant in little 10cm pots and paint pot or wrap in pretty paper), this add great scent, look and an additive to the meal. put small chocolate around the base
