I grew up crossing the border on Sunday mornings to go to the Italian market with my grandparents. We never knew what we'd find. But we always knew we'd find something beautiful, well-made, and unlike anything back home.

Years later, I moved to Italy. And I understood why.

Here, people take the time to talk to each other, to eat well, to craft things properly. They call it sprezzatura. We define it as the time to craft, the discernment to appreciate, the intelligence to smile. I fell completely in love.

I became the person my friends called for the good address, the hidden restaurant, the brand nobody knew yet. I loved finding these things. I loved sharing them even more.

So I created a rendez-vous.

Every week, we find the best of Italy: makers, farms, ateliers, designers... and we bring them directly to you. For a few days only.

That feeling used to require a border crossing. Now it's just a tap away.
