An Italian State of Mind 🇮🇹✨

Italy always finds a way to seduce — with a perfect espresso, a special outfit worn with a wink, or a glass of Prosecco pressed into your hand just because.

This week, our contributors reveal their favorite Italian indulgences, from surf breaks to hidden gems.

We begin in Amagansett, with Lazypoint's Claudja, whose Ottod'Ame pieces embody that effortless Italian chic.

In Southampton, Barryville General holds the East End exclusive on BSBEE, another Italian find - loose, flowy button-downs that feel hippie-ish but elevated.

Then it's off to Forte dei Marmi, where Salty Sessions' James McMahon points us to The Pier Surf School and some Mediterranean waves.

From there, the table fills: Chef Jason Weiner discovering civilization at Bologna's Drogheria Della Rosa, ONDA urging us toward rigatoni and gnocchi at Rome's Maccheroni, and culture editor Laura LaVelle curling up with Patricia Moyes' Dead Men Don't Ski — a Dolomites mystery that doubles as armchair travel.

Add a Negroni in Florence, Como's lakeside elegance, a hipster cocktail in Milan, a yoga studio in Rome, and a true Venetian secret or two — and you've got a little taste of Italy, Wonder Shuffle–style: personal, flavorful, and always a little hidden.

Enjoy -- and cin cin,
