Italian Heritage Month is more than a celebration of culture—it is a celebration of the people, stories, sacrifices, and achievements that helped shape Canada.

We are proud to share the inaugural edition of our Italian Heritage Month publication, recognizing the contributions of generations of Italian Canadians whose leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, community spirit, and resilience continue to leave a lasting impact on our country.

From the journeys of early immigrants to the accomplishments of today’s leaders, this special edition honours a legacy that continues to inspire future generations.

At LDV & CO., we believe heritage is not simply something we inherit—it is something we carry forward.

To all those who came before us, those making a difference today, and the next generation who will continue the story, this publication is dedicated to you.

Buon Mese del Patrimonio Italiano.

Italy’s timeless spirit continues to inspire modern hospitality. 🇮🇹

Our latest LDV & CO. editorial feature explores how the iconic Piaggio Vespa & Apé have evolved from the streets of Italy into immersive hospitality experiences redefining today’s event culture.

In collaboration with EventCartZ, this feature celebrates craftsmanship, storytelling, experiential design, and the beauty of creating moments guests truly remember.

Because true luxury is not simply about what guests see — it is about what they feel long after the evening ends.

Thank you, Grace and Lenny, for the full coverage of the 2026 La Dolce Vita Travel Fashion Show.

Yes, our event was held on April 22, and we were very proud to attend Cortellucci Hospice Vaughan on May 14 to present a cheque totaling $25,000.

Alongside our title sponsor, PSP Services, and Scotiabank, who participated by matching LDV & CO.’s $10,000 contribution and continued supporting additional fundraising efforts through on-site donations collected during the event, this achievement became a true community effort.

Not only were we proud to provide the donation promptly, but CHV has already issued charitable tax receipts for all eligible funds collected from our sponsors and guests.

Together, we were honoured to help provide 50 nights of “Care for a Day” support to members of our community.

It was truly a pleasure to produce such a meaningful evening, and I know many people are already asking about next year.

Stay tuned — exciting announcements are coming soon.

Discover what everyone will be talking about… 🍝

We’re pleased to welcome Martelli Foods on site at the La Dolce Vita Travel Fashion Show.

Introducing an exciting new launch in the world of Italian cuisine: Garofalo High Protein Pasta — now launching in Canada.

Many protein pastas are made with chickpeas, lentils, peas, or blended legumes, which can change the taste, texture, and overall cooking experience of traditional pasta.

Garofalo takes a different approach.
Made with 100% wheat and enhanced through innovative milling, it naturally increases protein and fibre while preserving the authentic flavour and premium al dente texture of real Italian pasta.

No compromise. No unfamiliar texture. No need to trade taste for nutrition.

✔️ 100% wheat
✔️ 19g of protein per serving
✔️ 12g of fibre per serving
✔️ Bronze-cut for exceptional texture

Garofalo High Protein — the protein pasta that still tastes like pasta.

Join us during the cocktail reception to:
• Learn more about this innovative new product
• Meet the team behind the launch
• Discover how to bring it into your own kitchen

If you’re curious about where food, wellness, and Italian tradition meet, this is one stop you won’t want to miss.
