How we evaluate the Italian authenticity?

Italian Authenticity

Made by Italians is an independent trademark that recognises authentically Italian enterprises operating abroad in one of the four traditional industries: food, fashion, furniture, and mechanical engineering. These are known in Italy as “the “four As”: Agroalimentare (food), Abbigliamento (fashion), Arredamento (furniture) and Automobili (automobiles)

Authentically Italian

In order to be awarded the authentic Made by Italians trademark, it is necessary to comply with the five criteria below.

The employees pro quota (proportional share of Italians employed in the business, including the owners).
Italian techniques, traditions and methods used (for example, authentic and traditional Italian recipes).
Italian spoken with customers (which can be offered by native Italian employees or others who speak Italian).
Italian ownership pro quota of the business (proportional share of Italian owner of the enterprise).
Italian products (for example that is, majority produce of Italian origin).

It is imperative for Made by Italians that the application process is transparent and trusted. Hence it has the five criteria parameters that the Made by Italians Evaluation Board will evaluate from an application form and supporting documentation.
