Made of Italy is a living, breathing community where tradition meets innovation, and where heritage becomes a bridge between the past and the future. We celebrate Italian culture in all its contemporary expressions, breaking away from stereotypes to tell a deeper, more authentic story.
We exist to connect: between newcomers and long-established immigrants, between individuals and institutions, and between culture and opportunity. At our core, we believe in the power of relationships to preserve heritage, inspire creativity, and build stronger communities locally and globally.

Meet our founder,
Andrea Pastacaldi
Originally from Tuscany, Andrea left Italy in 2010 and once relocated to the other side of the world, he quickly noticed the absence of a young and active modern Italian community, a gap that felt too important to ignore.
With genuine passion and determination, he decided to take action, creating connections and opportunities to bring people together, keep the community alive, and promote Italian culture in a fresh and modern way.
His constant and tireless commitment to supporting Italians abroad earned him the title of Cavaliere della Stella della Repubblica Italiana in 2023. A well-deserved recognition, and an even stronger motivation to continue his work.
Mission
To promote Italian culture abroad, create genuine connections between people and businesses, and offer practical support to those relocating, through events, collaborations and the Business HUB
Vision
To build a global community that celebrates and elevates Italian excellence worldwide, combining tradition and innovation while creating opportunities for individuals and businesses connected to the “Made of Italy” identity.

Running the clinic has been an incredible journey, and Made of Italy has been a key partner. Their network helped us expand our reach and even recruit a talented physiotherapist from Italy, enhancing our services and client base.
