Every city has a story to tell. Seeing the world through the ITALICUS lens. 🌍🔹

In 2021, ITALICUS and @moniker.art invited for the second year creatives around the world to reimagine iconic cities through the lens of art and mixology.

Inspired by local culture, architecture and the ritual of aperitivo, familiar landscapes became extraordinary canvases for creativity.

From vibrant skylines to hidden corners, every destination was reinterpreted with the unmistakable spirit of ITALICUS: where design, craftsmanship and cocktail culture meet.
Because every city deserves a fresh perspective.

Sound of ITALICUS: the rhythm of aperitivo. 🎶🇮🇹

Aperitivo is not just a moment. It is a feeling, a conversation, a gathering, connecting with people in the moment.

In each Aperitivo experience, every cocktail is accompanied with a memorable sound..
Because what is aperitivo without music?

From the first notes to the final sip, The Sound of ITALICUS soundtrack created in 2019 with @ndusemes_ celebrates the energy, creativity and emotions that bring all of us together.
