Gran Galà ofMade in italy
...when visionary geniuses shape the world...
Italy has been a leading cultural, political and religious centre of Western Civilisation in history, from the Roman Empire to the Renaissance. Many visionary geniuses, through centuries, shaped language, music, art and science, generating every time in an endless universe loop a new vision of the contemporary world.
"Made in Italy" is founded on centuries of wise knowledge and skills transforming, beautifully and with care, ordinary objects in masterpieces of art, passing down traditional artisanal methods from generation to generation until the details of those ancient techniques have become so refined that today when we hold or wear a Made in Italy collection, it seems like a gift of human creativity.
Gran Galà of Made in Italy is not only focused just to highlight the beauty of Italy, but to discover the less known aspects of the wonders of Italy, showing stories able to withstand the test of time and now ready to be discovered again by the modern audience of the III Millennium.
Italian Cooking: A Shared Heritage of Humanity
Italian Style all over the World !
On December 10, 2025, UNESCO officially inscribed Italian cooking on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, marking a historic moment not just for Italy, but for lovers of food and culture worldwide. This recognition celebrates the rich tapestry of culinary practices that transform simple ingredients into something far greater: community, identity, and memory.
This recognition goes well beyond flavour profiles. UNESCO’s inscription describes Italian cooking as a “cultural and social blend of culinary traditions” rooted in practices that emphasize:
1) Close relationships with raw materials and respect for seasonality and sustainability, including anti‑waste recipes; 2) The transmission of skills and memories across generations, from parenting at home to formal education in schools and communities; 3) Shared moments around the table with the family, where meals are social rituals that strengthen bonds and express care and belonging.
