Each product available on the platform is listed and sold by a partner seller identified on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is made by the seller, who becomes responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is managed directly by the partner seller. The package is sent from the seller's warehouse or logistics network and handed over to the courier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by the party with actual availability of the product.
On the product page, you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information based on the data provided by the seller or producer, namely the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend carefully checking the product page before purchasing and contacting the seller with any specific questions.
The platform was created to promote Italian food and make it more accessible. We select sellers in the food e-commerce sector with consistent catalogs and transparent information. Each product is associated with an identifiable seller and a complete information page: we want shopping here to mean buying with confidence.
Delivery times and costs depend on the seller and destination. At checkout, you will always find an updated delivery estimate before confirming payment. For international shipments, times may vary depending on the country and courier.
The book: Sicilia, o cara is Giuseppe Culicchia's journey as a child, a journey preceded by his father's stories and, above all, by the imagination those stories sparked. And so we have the arrival at Turin station, the train cutting Italy in two, the fog clearing, the landscapes beyond the window, and the first hints of smells and colors. When little Giuseppe arrives in Sicily, fairy tales come to life, and stories become faces, cities, and words. Palermo, Trapani and finally Marsala, where his relatives welcome him with a phrase that becomes a ritual formula: «But you're Peppe! Peppe like your grandfather Giuseppe Culicchia! Pippinu! Pippinu Piruzzu!». The horizon opens onto the sea and Turin seems to belong to another life. Giuseppe Culicchia draws on his own memory and entrusts himself to the gaze of a child—innocent, curious, full of wonder—to tell the story of a journey he has not yet completed. The author: Giuseppe Culicchia (Turin, 1965), a former bookseller, is the son of a Sicilian barber and a Piedmontese factory worker. He has published 24 books with major Italian publishers and has been translated into ten languages. His long seller Tutti giù per terra was made into the film of the same name. His latest novel is Il cuore e la tenebra (Mondadori, 2019). He has translated, among others, Mark Twain, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Bret Easton Ellis. For Einaudi he translated American Psycho and Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis and published Ritorno a Torino dei signori Tornio (2007) and Mi sono perso in un luogo comune (2016). In 2017 Einaudi republished Il paese delle meraviglie with a new introduction by the author, and in 2018 Tutti giù per terra, also with a new introduction by the author.
