The Italian Trade Agency (ITA) is inviting the public to experience authentic Italian lifestyle and culture at its Madison Avenue townhouse in New York City. For the first time, the much-anticipated third edition of Italy on Madison will take place at the beautiful ITA headquarters.
On Wednesday, May 14th and Thursday, May 15th, 2025, more than 90 Italian brands—spanning fashion, design, beauty and wellness, food, and wine—will offer visitors a unique, immersive experience akin to a trip to Italy.
The ITA is housed in a historic five-story townhouse at 33 East 67th Street. Constructed at the turn of the 20th century, the neo-Georgian-style mansion was commissioned as a residence for Hugh D. Auchincloss, a prominent businessman and financier.
The showcase will recreate the ambiance of an Italian home and the rhythms of Italian life with a collection of more than 100 pieces by over 40 iconic Italian brands and designers.
Each room will focus on a different aspect of the Italian lifestyle. INTERNI, a leading interior design and architecture publication, curated the exhibition.
'With Italy on Madison, we are not just showcasing products,' says Erica Di Giovancarlo, Commissioner Director of the ITA in the U.S. in a press release announcing the event.
'We are inviting the public to experience the spirit of 'Made in Italy' in a deeply personal and sensory way.'
Recognized globally, the 'Made in Italy' brand is synonymous with excellence in creativity, quality and craftsmanship.
