By Alessi Domenico Spa 

Alessi Domenico inaugurates Alessi Domenico USA, a new Miami-based branch that marks a new chapter in the Group’s international journey.

The opening of the U.S. office represents the consolidation of long-standing relationships developed over time with the American market, through a shared vision based on quality, reliability, and the promotion of Italian goldsmith excellence.

With more than eighty years of history, Alessi Domenico continues its international growth path by strengthening its presence in the United States at a significant moment for the global jewelry industry.

The project stems from the desire to establish a stable presence in the American market and to further strengthen relationships with partners and clients who have supported the company’s growth throughout the years.

The new branch will be located in Miami’s Seybold Jewelry Building and will include a dedicated stock for the U.S. market.

For Italian exporters serving the U.S. Southeast, cold-chain decisions are no longer limited to fresh produce alone.

Today, a wider range of products may require temperature-controlled routing, including cheese and dairy ingredients, frozen prepared foods, seafood, confectionery fillings, chocolate products, pharmaceuticals and selected nutraceuticals. For many small and mid-sized businesses, these choices can affect not only shelf life, but also product quality, customer claims risk, brand positioning and final delivery performance in the U.S. market.

That is where gateway choice becomes important. 

For sensitive cargo, a seaport should be a part of the product-protection strategy. Importers and exporters can look at several practical factors, including on-dock reefer plug availability, nearby refrigerated warehousing, inspection capability, cross-docking options and inland access to major consumer markets.

In the U.S. Southeast, Jacksonville, Florida offers one example of how this model works in practice. The Jacksonville Port Authority’s (JAXPORT’s) cold-chain network includes more than 1,600 on-dock reefer plugs across three terminals, nearby refrigerated warehousing, and 4-hour truck reach to 18 million consumers, added to the competitive transit time of 25 days from Livorno, as example. For Italian companies shipping specialty foods or pharma-related products, these factors can matter as much as ocean transit time, because reducing handoffs and dwell time helps lower the risk of temperature excursions.

Wine may also be part of this discussion, especially for premium wines, sparkling wines, vermouth and aperitivi shipped from Italy during hotter periods. While not every wine shipment needs temperature control, it can be worth considering when product quality, shelf stability and brand positioning are priorities.

For Italian exporters, the lesson is straightforward: the right U.S. gateway should be evaluated not only on freight cost, but also on how well it protects product integrity from vessel to final distribution.

by Soriano Group – Arius Technology

Arius Technology, a leader in ultra-high-resolution 3D scanning, is proud to announce a landmark cultural preservation partnership with the Galleria Borghese, Rome. Commencing in mid-May 2026, Arius will utilize its proprietary ADMF™ (Art Digital Master File) technology to create high-fidelity “digital twins” of the museum’s most significant Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces.

For Italian businesses operating in North America, this collaboration represents a vital bridge between heritage and innovation. By applying cutting-edge technology developed in North America to Italy’s most iconic treasures, Arius is setting a new standard for cultural stewardship.

The Texture of Genius: Unlocking Fontana, Bernini, Caravaggio, and Raphael

The project will capture the forensic “DNA” of works by Italian masters, starting with masterpieces by Lavinia Fontana. Arius’ proprietary optical scanning will capture the topography, structural integrity, and material nuance with ten-micron precision, revealing the artist’s physical hand with unprecedented clarity. This immutable digital record will provide a precise blueprint for future conservation and research.

Innovation as Cultural Diplomacy

“This partnership demonstrates how North American technological innovation can serve as a powerful guardian for Italian cultural heritage… We are enabling a new era of accessibility and protection,” says Marco Antonio Soriano, CEO of Arius Technology Europa Italia Srl. 

Beyond documentation, this initiative supports three critical pillars:

●         Safe Conservation: Our low-power, non-invasive laser technology is safer for delicate surfaces than traditional museum lighting.

●         The Digital Seed Bank: Creates a permanent, immutable record for future restoration.

●         Democratizing the Masterpiece: High-fidelity scans allow for the creation of textured physical replications, enabling global audiences to experience these works in new ways.

As Arius expands its work with Europe’s premier institutions, this collaboration underscores a shared commitment: ensuring that Italy’s unparalleled artistic legacy is protected, preserved, and celebrated through the power of advanced technology.
