Italy is universally renowned for its tradition of hospitality, which has made it one of the country’s most admired strengths. Whether welcoming fellow Italians or international visitors, the Bel Paese has always considered hospitality a cornerstone of its culture. At the heart of this tradition is a figure synonymous with expertise, professionalism, and warmth: the concierge. This essential role, with its deep knowledge of the local territory, guides guests in discovering local marvels, from culinary delights to artistic, cultural, and musical experiences.
To further enhance luxury hospitality, All about Italy has launched a new partnership with Les Clefs d’Or Italia. The initiative is designed to celebrate and highlight the unique features of Italy, involving concierges from the most prestigious hotels across the country. Through this collaboration, the Les Clefs d’Or association will have the opportunity to share recommendations, insights, and untold stories in All about Italy’s publications, offering international guests exclusive, unforgettable experiences in Italian destinations.
This partnership goes beyond a mere editorial project. All about Italy and Les Clefs d’Or Italia are committed to fostering cooperation across other iconic sectors such as food & beverage, design, fashion, and automotive. Together, they aim to elevate luxury hospitality through new growth opportunities for concierges and all professionals in the hospitality industry.
Paolo Del Panta, President & CEO of Iscoa Group and Editor in Chief of All about Italy, commented on the newly formed joint venture: “I am proud to launch this initiative with our friends at Les Clefs d’Or, which will showcase the best of our beautiful Italy and its unique features. Thanks to the expertise, know-how, and unwavering commitment to quality that the representatives of this prestigious association bring, we can offer tourists and guests a truly unique immersion into the culture and beauty of our country.”
The President of the Italian Union of Hotel Concierges, Vittorio Talvacchia, stated: “It is a great honor for Italian Les Clefs d’Or to participate in this project, which allows us to bring the culture and knowledge of our country directly into our guests’ homes, even before they arrive at our establishments. This is a new way of conceiving hospitality, and we are ready to be part of it. Welcome to Italy!”
Les Clefs d’Or Italia, the association representing the world’s most prestigious and skilled concierges, epitomizes the excellence of Italian hospitality. Recognizable by the crossed gold keys on their uniforms, these concierges hold the privilege of “holding the keys” to Italy’s cities, offering invaluable advice, authentic experiences, and exclusive access to local treasures.
