Dear readers of We The Italians we will be following in the footsteps of our friends Gianluigi Di Lorenzo and Carmelo Caruso founders of Kefa, on an overseas trip that will take us to the evocative SIN CITY. In the glittering and always awake LAS VEGAS, at the gateway to the Nevada desert, from June 2 to 5, 2023 at The Venetian Expo facility was he...
The Marche region is one of what I consider one of the lesser discovered regions of Italy. Located in central Italy surrounded by the regions of Umbria, Emilia Romagna, Abruzzo and touching Tuscany and Lazio. It’s located along the Adriatic Sea with hills and mountains that roll down to the sea. This varied geography creates a unique microclimate....
The Natural Park Dune Costiere near ostuni in the Province of Brindisi, Puglia, includes a stretch of sandy coastline, characterized by a system of contiguous wetlands, behind a strip of dunes. In a few places this band has the typical juniper vegetation: Red juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus) and Phoenician juniper (Juniperus phoenicea). In other place...
Dear friends, I was about to write this editorial when the flood situation in Emilia Romagna has become dramatic. The photos and videos we see are devastating and make us suffer so much for our brothers and sisters in that beautiful region, where I personally have my roots, although in the part less affected by this horrendous catastrophe. We partn...

In the United States, May is National Strawberry Month, and I love to celebrate with Strawberry Tiramisu. Usually made with prepared ladyfingers biscuits, it’s hard to believe that the lady fingers themselves were once considered extravagant.

If soccer is almost a religion for nearly all Italians, there is one city where from the time you are born your parents teach you to pray under a blue altar, almost always with the image of their messiah who in the 1980s arrived from Argentina, a land where millions of Italians live. The messiah's name was Diego Armando Maradona, venerated in every...

Traditional clothing is built upon fabrics, whose realm has always spoken the language of wool. Knowing that no season is superior to another, as the qualitative perspective deems the difference itself to be more important than any individual term, the Classic man particularly loves winter for the variety of styles and fabrics in which wool still r...
There is no clear indication of the precise moment when olives were first cultivated on the land around Garda. Some writings mention a climatically favorable period between the 3rd century BC and the 3rd century AD, to which an initial, slow but progressive introduction of olive growing can be traced. This is confirmed by various plant residues dis...
Ninety years ago, on April 9, 1933, one of the brightest stars of Italian cinema was born: Gian Maria Volontè. His legacy lives not only through his incredible performances, but also thanks to the artistic contributions he left to his successors, in particular the prestigious film and acting school in Rome that bears his name which to this day nurt...
