Food and wine and grappa
Made in Italy applies to food and drink as well—Italy is synonymous with great food that can be found anywhere.
Pizza, pasta, seafood, gelato, espresso, wine, grappa—that may seem ordinary in the US—are raised to a high level of creativity and quality. Italians had never given up on the importance of farm to table and local sourcing—it's not a trend, it's their legacy.
