1. Max Mara
After more than 50 years at the top of their class in women’s wear, the Maramotti family’s prêt-à-porter fashions are more vibrant than ever.

2. Alessi
Tea kettles, silverware settings and other gorgeous items crafted by the top names in international industrial design, all manufactured in Lombardy.

Florentine cobbler Salvatore Ferragamo raised footwear to a modern art form when he shod Hollywood stars from Greta Garbo to Sophia Loren. There’s now a full clothing line.

4. Mario Buccellati
Since 1919, no two Buccelatti jewels have been the same: each gemstone and silver filigree is hand-crafted by skilled artisans.

5. Etro
Etro’s trademark paisley and Pegasus icons abound on silk, cashmere and the finest wools.

Among the highest quality linens in all of Italy: drapes, pyjamas, sheets and pillows.

The mating “G”s that once decorated the leather goods of this firm, founded by a Florentine saddlemaker, are a thing of the past, but the quality’s still topnotch.
