Rome and Canada. The Food District looks to the world.
The Food, Development & Life District is expanding its horizons. Thanks to its membership in Federitaly — the Federation of Companies for the Protection and Promotion of Made in Italy Around the World — member companies now have access to an international network of events and promotional initiatives, often at no cost.
What is Federitaly and why join
Federitaly is the federation that brings together Italian companies committed to enhancing and promoting Made in Italy in national and international markets. Membership is free for the first year, with very low annual fees thereafter: from € 50 (supporting members) to € 200 for full membership with voting rights in all federal bodies. A concrete opportunity, at minimal cost, to join a network of national and international significance.
Two events not to be missed:
Made in Italy Day – Rome, April 15, 2026
The first event is Made in Italy Day, to be held at the picturesque Church of San Silvestro al Quirinale in Rome. Participation is free: the only commitment required of companies is to offer tastings of their products in the adjacent cloister, transforming the event into a showcase of excellence for the Molise region. Deadline for participation requests: March 20, 2026
Casa Italia in Canada – June 2, 2026
This second opportunity takes the District overseas. On June 2, 2026, to mark Republic Day, an event is scheduled at Casa Italia in Canada, featuring a dedicated meeting between Italian producers and numerous Canadian entrepreneurs. A valuable opportunity to present your products to potential business partners in a market of great interest. Again, there are no booth fees: participating companies are responsible only for logistics costs. Deadline for participation requests: mid-April 2026
€ 1,000 voucher for “100% Made in Italy” certification
A Federitaly call for proposals is currently open, offering a € 1,000 voucher to support companies in the process of obtaining the 100% Made in Italy certification. This is a concrete contribution to strengthening the credibility and competitiveness of member products in national and international markets.
Become a local representative for your province
Federitaly is seeking local representatives for the provinces of Isernia and Campobasso. Filling this role means actively contributing to the growth of the network in the region and representing local businesses within the federation. To apply or receive further information, please contact Dr. Fuoco at: distrettodelcibosviluppovita@gmail.com
Let’s take advantage of these opportunities
As President Pasquale Colitti points out, there are already those in our region who have benefited from these initiatives at no cost. Participating means investing in business growth and in the visibility of “Made in Molise,” seizing opportunities that are unlikely to arise again under the same conditions. For any questions or information, the Distretto del Cibo Sviluppo & Vita is available to all members.
