Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chat with Federico Bricolo | Vinitaly, Wine Tourism & Italy's Global Vision
Q: How has your career shaped your leadership?
The interview touches on leading Vinitaly through international expansion, aligning with government and trade networks, and building a year‑round presence to promote Made in Italy wine globally, while balancing growth with support for producers in new markets.
Trading Burnout for Balance: Dustin & Luigi's Move from Canada to Italy
Q: What's the biggest challenge you faced during the move and how did you overcome it?
Language barriers and bureaucracy were the main hurdles; we leaned into learning Italian, sought local community support, and accepted that patience is essential because processes move differently here, which ultimately helped us settle.
Trading Burnout for Balance: Dustin & Luigi's Move from Canada to Italy
Q: What initially made you decide to move to Italy from Canada?
A combination of missing the sea, the warmth of family, and a growing desire for a simpler, more grounded lifestyle led us to consider Abruzzo as a place to recreate balance away from the ' hamster wheel' feeling of big-city North America.
Italian Heritage in Canada | Daniela Sfara on Identity, Tradition & Slow Food
Q: How has the Italian Canadian experience evolved over the years?
There's been a merger with Canadian culture by assimilation, followed by a revival as younger generations seek to reconnect with Italy and bridge Italian-Canadian and Italian communities.
Italian Heritage in Canada | Daniela Sfara on Identity, Tradition & Slow Food
Q: Can you share how Italus started and what drives it today?
Italus grew from a desire to preserve disappearing Italian regional traditions, collaborating with artisans and using digital platforms to connect the global Italian diaspora with authentic practices.
