Mission Statement
The mission of Life in Italy is to provide English speaking people with
interesting and informative articles
about Italy and Italian lifestyle.
Any subject from Food, Wine, culture, Interior design, Real Estate,
Tourism, Entertainment, Fashion and Style are covered.
What is it all about?
This web site is not quite Italian, not quite American, not Italian American, Not English... either...so what's the point?
The philosophy of this web site is to give all sort of fresh information on how modern life in Italy effectively is. This hopefully will give the opportunity to Italian American and English speaking to keep up with the style of life and the news in modern Italy - It should at the same time help American and English speaking
persons who decide to visit or go to live overseas.
Fresh discussions about todays food, travel, traffic, lifestyle, interior design,
etc...should accomplish both goals. Anybody who has something to say and is familiar with modern Italy is welcome to add his
and her comment or article, here or on our forum.
Life in Italy as Made in Italy
Life in Italy. Authenticity Guaranteed:
The following products featured on Life in Italy
are guaranteed
to be hand made in Italy by Italian artists. Before I include a new artist or artisan on Life in Italy, I
visit them personally, meeting them at their workshop or company to make
sure the product is made exactly as we represent on the website. I also
take special attention in getting to know personally all the artisans.
Unfortunately, in recent years, many products identified as "Italian" or
"Italian design" are being made in other countries where the cost of
production may be lower due to the significantly lower wages paid to the
artisans. Often, the quality of the work suffers. Life in Italy ensures
that our products are made entirely in Italy. This ensures the
consistency of the quality and that the buyer is getting what he / she
paid for -- Italian art. We believe that a fake Rolex is not as good as
the authentic Rolex and Parmesan cheese made in Argentina does not taste
like the one made in Emilia Romagna. The same is true for ceramics: the
copies tend to chip more easily and usually the workmanship is not as
detailed or accurate.
We also guarantee that that the following companies have very
competitive pricing since we work directly with the artisan.
Lifeinitaly hosts and acts as a U.S. point of contact for the following
Italian companies:
-
MOD Ceramics www.derutaitaly.com Ivan and Grazia Ranocchia
- BeB Affreschi www.italianfrescoes.com Sergio Bonometti and Giovanni
Bressana
- Boccini Ceramics www.deruta.us Nicola and Luigi Boccini
- Frammenti Art Mosaics www.frammentiart.com Tiziana Mondini and Corinna
Notaro
- Sergio Valeri Terracotta www.lifeinitaly.com/terracotta Sergio
We believe buying authentic Italian art (such as a beautiful piece of
Deruta ceramics) is in your best interests as these artworks can be an
investment that appreciates in value with time.
