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.
ROME

ROME’S BIGGEST VINTAGE MARKET
Mercato di Porta Portese, Piazza di Porta Portese, 00153 Roma RM, Italy
Every Sunday, Porta Portese vintage market unveils its treasures: retro clothing, jewellery, and unique art objects. Nestled in the bustling heart of Rome, it’s an essential stop for those wishing to discover the hidden gems of the Eternal City.
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
NAPOLI
L’ Antica Pizzeria da Michele, Via Cesare Sersale, 1 – 3, 80139 Naples, Italie
THE MOST FAMOUS PIZZA IN NAPLES
L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele, Via Cesare Sersale, 1 – 3, 80139 Naples, Italy
If you’re stopping by Naples, you can’t miss the city’s most iconic pizzeria! Legend has it that Julia Roberts rediscovered the joy of life right here... Yes, this is the famous pizza from Eat, Pray, Love!

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.
MILANO

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...
