Whether your cantina is filled with wine, stacked with jars of tomato sauce or has salami hanging from the ceiling, this is usually Nonno’s favourite room in the house.

 

2. A Corno Necklace

For good luck and to protect from malocchio.

 

3. A Few Hundred Euros

From that vacation to Italy a few years back. We keep them for when we book our next trip there.

 

4. A Cross

Usually hanging over our beds or somewhere around the house.

This is what we look forward to each morning.

It could be a cologne, bag, wallet or belt. If we have an item from an Italian designer we treat it like gold.

 

 

7. A Rosary

Usually found hanging off a rearview mirror or in Nonna’s purse.

 

8. A Piece of Clothing That Represents Italy

We wear them loud and proud. (Especially during a Euro or World Cup)

Big or small, most of us Italians love our wines.

We don’t like to waste these. We will reuse them for everything.
