LA DOLCE VITA

Because we dream of farniente, the Mediterranean, gastronomy, art and jewelry, let us take you on a journey under the Italian sun with our designers from Milan, Solonghello and Florence!

 We're used to offering you City Guides, but when it came to Italy, the choice was far from easy... it's all so beautiful!

Finding gems is WHITEbIRD's raison d'être, and it's not just about jewels... So why not put together a Travel Guide of our favorite vacation spots in Italy?

From Rome to Naples, passing through Milan and Tuscany, we’re delighted to share our selection of addresses and Italian designers to satisfy your eyes, taste buds, and, of course, your jewellery box.

One of the Best Pizzas in Rome 

Dar Poeta, Vicolo del Bologna 45, 00153 Rome, Italy 


The typical “mom and pop” restaurant you'll find only by getting lost in the maze of streets (or by exploring this Travel Guide): this little pizzeria that doesn't look like much makes the best pizzas in Rome! The perfect opportunity to visit Trastevere, one of Rome's most picturesque and festive districts, with its narrow streets, trattorias and large, bustling squares

ISCHIA, A VOLCANIC ISLAND IN THE GULF OF NAPLES 

Ischia, a jewel in the Tyrrhenian Sea, is renowned for its natural thermal springs and verdant landscapes. Less crowded than neighbouring Capri, this Italian island offers fine sandy beaches, rich history, and exquisite cuisine—promising a serene and picturesque escape. 

TUSCANY

A REAL-LIFE DREAM 

The Tarot Garden, Garavicchio Pescia Fiorentina, 58011 Capalbio, Provincia di Grosseto, Italy 

Tucked away in the Tuscan greenery, the Tarot Garden is a fantasy-filled maze where art meets the divine. Conceived by artist Niki de Saint Phalle, this mystical garden is home to colossal sculptures inspired by the tarot’s arcana, inviting visitors on a journey between dream and reality. 

PIENZA, A RENAISSANCE GEM 

Pienza, a papal dream come true, is a fairytale-like stop nestled in the rolling Tuscan hills. Strolling through its lanes, where each stone seems to tell a story, savouring the intoxicating scent of pecorino, and admiring the breathtaking panoramas that inspired Renaissance painters—a true hymn to beauty and serenity.

A SWEET TREAT IN MILAN 

Pasticceria Marchesi 1824 - Via Santa Maria alla Porta, 11/a, 20123 Milano MI, Italie

Established in 1824, Marchesi Patisserie is a Milanese institution. Tradition and refinement blend seamlessly here in every cup of coffee and delicate pastry. Our favourite: a raisin swirl paired with a delicious caffè lungo...
