The Amazon Made in Italy Award event – The Faces of Italian Excellence in E-commerce – successfully concluded at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy headquarters, Palazzo Piacentini. An evening dedicated to celebrating Made in Italy and Amazon’s storefront, along with the protagonists behind its success.
By the way, which companies were awarded?
Well begun is half done: the youngest of Made in Italy
Let’s go in order and start with the first category, reserved for companies led by entrepreneurs under 30, who recognized Amazon and the Made in Italy storefront as the ideal place to test their startup.
Part of this category are:
- Fler World by Allegra Violante, a brand specializing in the production of refillable razors and sustainable packaging
- ilGustonline, which used Amazon to sell porchetta online, among other things.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained: the renewing Made in Italy
With the second category, Amazon aimed to reward the courage of those who revolutionized their lives to follow a passion. Two initiatives were recognized in this category:
- Dafne Italian Design, an Abruzzese brand founded by Stefania Tollis who, after closing the Milan chapter of her life, returned to Sulmona to start a high-quality furniture company
- D’Annata, a brand of oils and bitters from Campania created by Anna D’Elia to revive her family’s olive groves.
Different countries, same Italy: the global Made in Italy
We now come to the third award, which identifies companies that, thanks to Amazon, found their target audience among international customers.
Included in this category:
- Remo Sartori, who brought his tailor-made ties from Puglia to a global audience
- Mobili Fiver, a family-run business that expanded to the United States with its own logistics facility.

Creative minds: unusual and successful products
The fourth category concerns companies offering unusual products that one wouldn’t expect to find on Amazon.
Identified in this cluster:

- Biotica, a circular economy startup from Sicily that ships humus and worms for gardening.
Blood will tell: generational development
Finally, we conclude with the fifth category, which brings together companies with a traditional history, now revitalized by new generations.
Among these:
- The Lucchetta family, which sells handcrafted jewelry from Vicenza worldwide
