You’re invited into the world of 12 Italians. Where you’ll meet wine and cheese makers, herbalists with an elixir, famous bar and restaurant owners, a teacher, a bureaucrat and of course, Luigi the Mechanic – it’s Italy!

The kind that create stories used to introduce each interview to you – a world full of artisans, where work is the passport to serenity. Where family, tradition, magic and campanilismo shape these people’s lives. Formed by the mountains, they’re tough and industrious and they’re also worth reading about.
Come meet the Alchemist, the Wizard, the Goddess and Dragon Slayer. Read and feel bewitched in Olmo Gentile. ‘Legends’ may read like a fairy tale – yet it’s their reality. Make it your own.
