BY FABiO PiCCOLi or a magazine like ours, which we wanted to call Italian Good Living, being “Italian” brings with it not only a long series of values butF also responsibilities. It’s very important that our values are clear, the values of the so-called “Made in Italy”, because only by knowing them in depth, and also managing to give them a precise hierarchy, will it be possible to defne a serious and useful promotion plan. It is precisely in these diffcult months that the theme of the promo- tion of Made in Italy around the world has returned to the fore, particularly, but not only, in relation to our agri-food productions.

Thank you from deep inside our hearts, our eyes and our minds. Thank you for more than 40 years: we have been doing this since FAI, the acronym for the Italian Heritage Fund, was created as an act of love and respect for Italy. It is a precious and irreplaceable non-proft insti- tution, which has been recognised by the Italian state, which protects and enhances the incredible and unique historical, artistic and landscape her- itage of our country. ITALIAN HERITAGE FUND FAI BY ANDREA MATTEUCCI Now, even more than before, it is almost imperative to defend and promote its beauty, which provides inspiration for unique suggestions almost every- where. Let’s start from here with a discussion with the current president of FAI Andrea Carandini, who is a world-famous archaeologist and enlightened character devoted to the enhancement of our artis- tic and landscape heritage.

HOWEVER, AS YOU HAVE ALSO iNSiSTED THAT THiS iMAGE STiLL REMAiNS REMARKABLY SOLiD, iN WHAT TERMS DO YOU PLAN TO MANAGE THiS REPOSiTiON- iNG PROCESS? Enit – the body entrusted with the task of promoting tourism – is already lending its hand, in conjunction with Mibact, with its own structured strategic vision. We work closely with regions, munici- palities and tourist destinations to agree on timeframes and meth- ods of recovery. INTERVIEW 17 GIORGIO PALMUCCI ENIT PRESIDENT BY PIERGIUSEPPE BERNARDI We have intensified the dialogue with those who are in- volved in the Italian system abroad, in particular with diplomatic representations, and the other institutional players that promote the Italy brand in the world, aware that it is a challenge that must be won together and to get the sector moving again.

THEIR MEN’S CLOTHING HERITAGE SPANS CENTURIES AND IS RENEWED GENERATION AFTER GENERATION. IN LIVORNO, AS EARLY AS THE MID-1800S, THE FIRST DESCEN- DANTS OF THE DEL MARE FAMILY WERE SELLING FABRICS AND MEN’S APPAREL. IN THE 1900S, THE DESTINY OF THE SECOND GENERATION CROSSED PATHS WITH THE FAMOUS FACIS GROUP AND MOVED TO TURIN. AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR, THINGS CHANGED AGAIN: FACIS WAS ACQUIRED BY ANOTHER GROUP AND THE DEL MARE MOVED TO MILAN. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT THE FIRST SINGLE-BRAND STORES WERE OPENED, PROJECTING THE FAMILY’S SIGNATURE STYLE ONTO THE CITY OF MILAN. WITH A HISTORY THAT HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN FROM FATHER TO SON FOR OVER 100 YEARS. RENOWNED FOR HAVING WRITTEN THE HISTORY BOOKS WHEN IT COMES TO MENSWEAR, TODAY DEL MARE 1911 IS FOCUSED ON CONQUERING THE ITALIAN AND FOREIGN MARKETS THANKS TO ITS CONTEMPORARY PRODUCT RANGE THAT COMBINES PREMIUM QUALITY WITH THE NEEDS OF THE GLOBAL MARKET.
