F&B Italian Excellence Lab

“Beautiful, good and well made”, these are the basic principles of the Italian Contemporary Essence which are the main focus of study and research of the SDA Bocconi F&B Italian Excellence Lab.

The basis for the international success of Italian food and beverage brands lies in the distinctive traits such as aesthetics (style, design and good taste in beauty), excellent quality (raw materials, craftsmanship and the handing down of productive wisdom) and creativity.

The aim of the research conducted by the F&B Italian Excellence Lab is to give value to these success factors to provide businesses within the sector continuing stimulus for discussion and attentive oversight of today’s most important management topics.
