The Boccaccio Family Gift Shop is located in the Connecticut Children's Medical Center on the 2nd floor between Dunkin' & the cafeteria in our new tower. The Boccaccio Family Gift Shop stands in tribute to Santo and Marianna Boccaccio, who came from humble beginnings to provide a better life for their children. It reflects the desire of all parents and grandparents, who bring their kids to Connecticut Children’s, to help them achieve their healthiest, happiest, best possible futures.
