A Partnership Born from Passion

What began as conversations between two like-hearted friends living with their families in Rome grew into something extraordinary. Shazia Naqui and Guenola Bramucci’s shared passion for Italian cuisine and hospitality turned casual recipe exchanges into inspiring journeys across Italy, seeking out exceptional local producers and artisans.

Their decades-long experience in international and tourism business, and international sales and marketing for luxury brands, respectively, they honed her talent for recognizing and sharing Italy’s finest offerings with the world, celebrating the art of Italian living.

Together, Shazia and Guenola discovered that the finest ingredients were more than just components of a meal—they were expressions of territory, tradition, and craftsmanship.
Today, with over fifty years living in Italy and a rich heritage spanning Persia, India, France, and Italy, they welcome guests to Italy. Through thoughtfully curated experiences that awaken all the senses —where the finest ingredients, carefully chosen friendships, and the joy of gathering around a table come together in perfect harmony, they celebrate the heart of Italian living -Vita Italiana!
