San Pellegrino

San Pellegrino is exported all over the world from Italy. The company was founded in 1899, but it wasn't until 1932 that Enzio Granelli first mixed orange juice with the famous sparkling water; creating the aranciata. In the same year, the new flavoured San Pellegrino drinks were launched in their now famous clavetta glass bottles, with a rounded base and glass which imitated the lightly textured peel of oranges. A popular variation of the drink is gassosa e vino, a combination of lemon San Pellegrino and red wine. Delicious! After trying spritzers with both white and red wine recently, and thoroughly enjoying it, I will have to track down some San Pellegrino in New Zealand and try this out too.

Campari
Campari, a bitters, was invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari in Novara,
Italia, who dyed it with carmine from crushed cochineal insects. Sesto
San Giovanni saw the first production plant of the drink in 1904, and
Gaspare's son, Davide Campari, began to export the drink overseas. Campari is an alcoholic aperitif made from herbs and fruit such as
chinotto and cascarilla, infused in alcohol and water. Mixed with soda,
wine, or citrus juice, it is used in cocktails
Campari Soda is a popular drink in Italy, with a distinctive bottle designed by Futurist artist Fortunato Depero. Depero had initially stated he would reinvent the whole universe, but, needless to say, he is yet to have achieved this. The iconic Campari Soda was first launched in 1932 in a cone-shaped bottle like an upturned drinking glass. Campari Soda is product that mixes Campari with soda, and has a 10% alcohol level.
For the 80th anniversary of Campari Soda earlier this year, Matteo Ragni, an architect and designer from Milano, redesigned the cone-shaped bottle, a contemporary tribute to the original.
Magic Collant
Magic Collant advertisement for tights that do not run.
This is one of the most ridiculous advertisements I have ever seen. My friend linked this infomercial to me on Facebook for the fact that tights without ladders would be an incredible invention, but also just because the video is all in Italian. Fifteen minutes of hilarity.
