Dear Readers,
With this edition, we introduce Live in Luxury, a new section of Live in Italy Magazine shaped by a simple observation: the relationship between Italy and the United States continues to deepen, not only through culture, but through trade, design, real estate, and shared ways of living. From our vantage point in Miami—a city that has become an international crossroads for art, design, and global exchange—we see that connection strengthening in real time.
Luxury, as explored in these pages, is not about excess. It is about intention, authorship, and long-term value. It is found in thoughtful design, in architecture shaped by human experience, in places that invite connection, and in work rooted in legacy rather than trends. Italy has long spoken this language, and today its influence resonates across global markets and cultural institutions.
This inaugural Live in Luxury edition brings together voices who embody that dialogue. From architecture and design to real estate, art, and investment, each conversation reflects a shared commitment to quality, continuity, and meaning. These stories are not isolated moments; they are part of a broader exchange—one that strengthens professional ties and reinforces Italy’s enduring role as a reference point for excellence.
Miami Art Week offered a timely lens through which to observe this exchange in action. Across Art Basel Miami Beach and satellite fairs, the presence of Italian galleries, artists, designers, and institutions revealed a living ecosystem—one where heritage and contemporary practice move forward together. That same spirit carries through our interviews and features, connecting people, places, and ideas across borders.
As Live in Italy Magazine continues to reach a growing international audience—and to be recognized among the leading Italy-focused publications—we are proud to expand our editorial vision with Live in Luxury. This new section reflects the evolution of our readership and the global conversations shaping Italy’s presence today.
My sincere thanks go to our contributors and partners who helped shape this first chapter with insight and integrity. Your perspectives make clear that luxury today is defined not by scale, but by substance.
We look forward to continuing this conversation in future editions, and to further exploring the evolving relationship between Italy and the world—one built on trust, creativity, and shared values.
Warm regards,
Lisa Morales
