Over the course of several years, we’ve discovered a multitude of wonderful websites, some Italian-centric, some not. All of the links you see below are “simpatico” with either our aesthetic or interests. We’re happy to share these with you to make your experience here a richer one. Caveat: some of the sites are “in Italiano” only, particularly those in the design resource section.
