In Italy when you are introduced to someone you might say "piacere" - "pleased to meet you". I'm very happy that you have chosen to visit our web site and spend some time getting to know Cositutti and our related partners and web sites. We hope to offer a unique perspective on the country that brought you the Renaissance, "la dolce vita", the eternal city, violin and piano. Not to mention delicious food and memorable wines.
Following is a list of some of my favorite things. I thought I would share this list with you so you can get to know the person behind the picture you will see on many of of my postings.
Molto Grazie e Piacere, Pamela Marasco, (Fondatrice ) The Cositutti Group
Company Profile : Learn more about what we like and how we think
I like both ancient and modern design. I'm inspired by the Renaissance and vintage Italian and enjoy working with independent artisans and generational producers who are committed to preserving the culinary and cultural traditions of Italy. Relentlessly authentic with attention to our sources, I admire the Italian way of placement and packaging and try to incorporate thoughtful details in products available through our on-line shop (CosituttiMarketPlace) and in our tasting events.
