Hi! We’re Antonella & Lisa! For us, ANYWAYS ITALY isn’t just a project, it’s a way of staying connected to Italy, wherever we are.
After years living abroad, with Italy always in our hearts, we’ve learned to see it with new eyes.
We realized that Italy is loved, desired, and dreamed of around the world, but often through an incomplete story that shows only its most famous side.
Between postcard images and iconic gestures, the most authentic part of Italy is often lost:
the one made of people, stories, accents, and small everyday moments.
Pizza, pasta, mandolins, Dolce Vita…
all true, but only a small slice of the real Italy.
From this desire to share a more genuine Italy, ANYWAYS ITALY was born:
a project that brings the beauty of real Italian experiences to the world, lived with slowness, passion, and humanity.
To do this, we tell Italy in many different ways:
💚 through sensory experiences and workshops with artisans and local producers,
🤍 through tastings of typical products,
❤️ through our adoption projects,
💚 through Italian language courses and study trips,
🤍 through special events, and
❤️ through books.
Every project is a different way to share the Italy we love and that’s where our name comes from:
ANYWAYS ITALY — many ways to tell our Italy.
