Grazie! The creation of this website was a beautiful labor of love, realized by our community of
food loving geniuses who were up for a good food barter! The tech virtuoso behind our website
was Lorenzo dell'Uva and his team at
Intermedia mmh in Bologna. Our oh-so-Gusti, look + feel, as
well as our gorgeous illustrations, were designed by Caterina Tandello and her team at
MammaLab,
also in Bologna. The product descriptions for all of our products were written by the Italian
food writer and renaissance woman
Megan McGowan; she’s based in Brooklyn but we are pretty sure
her heart is based in a trattoria in rural Emilia Romagna. All of the food product photography
was done by the Brooklyn based
Aimee Brodeur; we are not sure which she loves more, eating Gusti
foods or photographing them. The art direction of the food photography was done by Luise Stauss
of
Stauss & Quint in Manhattan; her artistic eye is almost as impressive as her appetite for
real Italian food. Did you notice our stellar category icons? Those babies were created by
Nicholas Blechman; he’s an ardent real Italian food defender and the infographic mastermind
behind
The New York Times Food Chains;
he also designed all of our
Gift Baskets+Boxes, they are truly works of art!.
