The book: "Hi darling, don't come back all worn out!" People often say that food is nourishment for the soul. Asking someone whether they have eaten means letting them know that we care about them, and all of us have a favorite dish that often comes from childhood memories and makes us feel at home even when we are far away. But there is a trick that especially students living away from home have devised to feel the warmth of their homeland and loved ones: the package from down south! It is a custom born in southern Italy, but "despite the name, there is no predetermined route the package must take in order to be defined as 'from down south'". The package from down south remains such even if it comes from the north, east, or west, for the simple reason that it has nothing to do with geography. It is a myth, an institution, a state of mind." With this delightful silent book, Chiara Spinelli illustrates the journey of a package in a fanciful and visionary style. Once it reaches its destination, the package can finally be opened by the loved one who is far away, and they will be overwhelmed by love and the flavors of home.

Every product available on the marketplace is listed and sold by a partner seller indicated on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is carried out by the seller, who becomes the party responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is handled directly by the seller partner. The package leaves the seller's warehouse, or its logistics network, and is handed over to the carrier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by those who actually have the product available.
On the product page you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information according to the data provided by the seller or manufacturer, i.e. the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend that you carefully check the product page before purchasing and contact the seller with any specific questions.
The platform was created to promote and make Italian food Made in Italy more accessible. We select e-commerce food sellers with coherent catalogs and transparent information. Each product is linked to an identifiable seller and a complete information sheet: we want buying here to mean buying with confidence.
Delivery times and costs depend on the seller and the destination. At checkout you will always find the current delivery estimate before confirming payment. For international shipments, times may vary depending on the country and the carrier.
