Ferrari on Sunday rolled out its first in-house fashion collection, offering fans of the Ferrari brand and its supercars a touch of “couture” within a contemporary clothing range. The launch marks a major step in Ferrari’s new brand strategy, one of its biggest investments outside the car business, which the company wants to account for around 10%...

The first four months of 2021 closed with a clearly positive sign for Chianti Classico PDO sales. The historic Tuscan wine denomination’s bottles sold amounted to about 11 million (+31% compared to the same period of the previous year). During the first year of the pandemic (2020), the consumption of the “Black Rooster” label wine recorded a contai...

There's no question that the foods of Molise remain just as under the radar to non-Italians as the region itself. Molise sits partly on the Adriatic, south of Abruzzo, west of Puglia, east of Lazio, and north of Campania.  It's a shame, really, because Molise proffers up excellent delights that are just as palate-pleasing as the bounty of the other...

Probably one of the best Ferraris designed by Pininfarina was the very first collaborative project - the 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter. With production only kicking off in 1952, the Inter was the first car to leave Modena’s assembly line sporting the Pininfarina moniker on its flanks. Often referred to as the first ‘production’ Ferrari, the 212 was nevert...

When my father Pietro starts stacking wood in the fireplace and announces that his friends will be over for dinner, I know what’s coming. As his guests arrive, he’ll welcome them with glasses of deep and tannic Nero di Troia. He’ll chat with them about one thing or another as he checks on the fire. And then, as the thin outer layer transforms into...

Even though some of us may not want to admit it, we love Italian cars. Despite their bad track record for reliability and inferiority compared to some of their other European contemporaries, Italian cars have verve and a personality that other automakers simply can't match. We tend to look past their flaws and appreciate them for what they are, alt...

With hundreds of distinct wine regions amidst a plethora of native spirits and cocktails, there’s no shame in being a little intimidated by the world of Italian drink. As vaccines continue to flow and the possibility of international travel begins to appear on the horizon, now is the perfect time to acquaint yourself with some of the nation’s most...

The Italian powerhouse is not in the habit of making this or that model for long, or in vast quantities. Take the Mondial, for instance. Introduced back in the early 1980s, it was around for a little more than a decade until something better came along. As with any Ferrari, the Mondial was made in small numbers, a little over 4,000, in four variant...

Italy and sports cars go together like wine and cheese, or any other combination of two things that pair well with each other. But until recently, the thought of an Italian manufacturer that only makes electric sports cars sounded sacrilegious. If we've learned nothing else in the last year, it's that absolutely anything is possible, even if it sou...

Once characterized by a quantity over quality approach, the wines of Puglia today have all the credentials to warrant flattery and praise – especially the rosés, which are among the best in Italy. It's no coincidence that Italy's first national rosé wine, the Five Roses by Leone de Castris, was bottled here as early as 1943.  This aptitude is due t...
