Spanning 2023, the project aims to increase the perceived value of Italian wine; strengthen the image of Italian foods; and educate the American audience on the variety and importance of Made in Italy products. Key markets include New York City, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.

"By educating American consumers on how to best pair their favorite Italian products with lesser-known gems originally from the different regions of Italy, the goal of this campaign is to increase awareness about the diversity of "Made in Italy" products. With the support of Stuntman, we aim to teach consumers how to recognize authentic Italian food and wine products and showcase their intrinsic qualities, versatility, authenticity, and culinary techniques," says Trade Commissioner and Executive Director for the US, Antonino Laspina.

Furthermore, the campaign will develop positive dynamics toward the chosen U.S. market targets and will raise informed purchasing awareness, encouraging consumers to choose protected products over counterfeit and deceptive ones.

"While many chefs, consumers, and home cooks are familiar with Italian cuisine, we look forward to raising awareness and correcting misconceptions regarding the astonishing array of Made in Italy food and wine excellences," says Stuntman PR Founder & CEO Neil Alumkal. "There's a wealth of history and important details of traceability that many in the U.S. aren't familiar with yet."
