Palm Beach Welcomes the Excellence of Made in Italy on March 24
Palm Beach is preparing to host one of the most iconic events celebrating Italian excellence for the very first time in the United States. We’re talking about Gala Italia: an event conceived and produced by All About Italy. The event was initially launched in 2012 and became quickly successful in Europe, particularly in Munich. Now, it makes its way overseas and will be hosted at the exceptional Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach.
The event is set for March 24, 2026, the eve of the official opening of the Palm Beach International Boat Show. It’s anticipated to be an exclusive evening of art, music, culture, and lifestyle. The event will showcase the very best of Made in Italy through an immersive experience designed for a high‑profile international audience.
For nearly thirty years, All About Italy has been a leading reference in international publishing, dedicated to promoting Italian excellence around the world. Founded in 1997, the magazine, published in English and German, has become a true ambassador of Italian craftsmanship and culture. It has a strong presence in the United States and in the world’s most strategic markets. Today, the refined, elegant Gala Italia represents the editorial’s cultural mission
“Bringing Gala Italia to the United States for the first time is both a symbolic milestone and a deeply emotional moment for us,” says Paolo del Panta, Publisher of All About Italy. “For nearly three decades, we have shared the story of Made in Italy with an international audience, building bridges between cultures, countries, and people. Palm Beach is the ideal stage to continue this mission and to present a project that unites beauty, quality, and vision—an Italy that inspires the world and reveals its true excellence to the global stage.”
Echoing this sentiment, Simona Gazzaniga, President of Global Marketing, highlights the strategic and cultural significance of the event: “We are proud to bring Gala Italia to the United States, in such a prestigious and international setting. This event is not only a celebration. It is a living, contemporary narrative of Made in Italy. It is a way to share the elegance, creativity, and excellence that make Italy unique in the world with a select audience.”
The exclusive program of Gala Italia Palm Beach weaves together music, art, and the finest Italian hospitality, featuring a special collaboration with the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation and an exceptional culinary experience curated by BiCE Restaurant, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. It will be a sensory journey through the pillars of Italian identity—from design and fashion to automotive, yachting, and food & beverage—offering a refined and coherent portrait of the Italian lifestyle.
The choice of Palm Beach is no coincidence: it is one of the most exclusive communities in the United States, a reference point for the international stage, and a true crossroads for entrepreneurs, collectors, and opinion leaders. With its strong philanthropic tradition, it provides the ideal context to elevate and affirm the cultural and economic significance of Made in Italy on one of the world’s most influential stages.
With this American debut, Gala Italia and All About Italy reiterate their role as a cultural and relational platform capable of bringing together brands, institutions, and leading figures of Italian excellence— all while offering a contemporary, authoritative, and deeply identity‑driven narrative of Italy at its best.
