How much it costs to join Eccellenze Italiane

No. No payment opens a verification and no business joins the network because it has paid. Those chosen then sign an annual membership. Those who do not pass the verification pay nothing, because there is nothing to pay for.

The criteria, in fullPut a business forward

Twelve months of personalised visibility, not a single item. Every month the business receives social material ready to publish. It has access to the private area, where it checks all its data and statistics. Its page is translated into six languages and it has a place on our signature map. It can create content with a dedicated professional platform. On top of this come the editorial and visibility services: our interview channel, the magazine and the social formats dedicated to members. There are also the plaque and the anti-counterfeiting verification code. It does not cover the verdict: what is written about a business remains a decision of the editors.

By our editors, in three ways: our collaborators in the regions put it forward, we find it ourselves by searching, or it applies on its own. You cannot enter on your own: even an application does not skip the queue, it opens a verification like the other two routes. We need evidence on at least two of four aspects, and at least one must come from outside.

No, and every point can be checked. The selection criteria are public and can be read for each of the six families. Every business in the network has an anti-counterfeiting code that can be verified on this site. Entry cannot be bought: it goes through an application, a search or a referral, and in every case an assessment. The price of the membership is written on this page, with the date from which it applies.

No. We are not a standards body and nobody has accredited us: we do editorial work, we check what can be checked and we say where we know it from.

The criteria, in full

With the anti-counterfeiting code printed on the plaque: it is checked on the verification page of the site and it tells you whether the membership is active and to whom it belongs. If a plaque matches no valid code, the business is not in the network.
