The fridges are painted with provincial symbols and medieval scenes in celebration of Italian craftsmanship.
The fridge collection will go on display at world furniture exhibition Salone Internazionale Del Mobile from April 12 to 17 in Milan.
This is not Smeg's first collaboration. The Italian brand previously worked with Swarovski to build a gold, crystal-adorned fridge as well as collaborating with BMW to create a Mini Cooper-inspired fridge.
