  If you or your spouse are of Italian descent, or if you simply admire European craftsmanship, it may be important to you that your anniversary gifts are made in Italy. There are many high-quality items that come from Italy, which would be suitable for an anniversary gift to commemorate any year of marriage.

Italian Love Poem

• The traditional first anniversary present is something made of paper. One way to honor this tradition, while paying tribute to Italian culture is to give the gift of a love poem. Choose a poem by your favorite Italian poet, and hand write it on high-quality paper. To transform this gift into something that will last a lifetime, have the paper laminated or framed. If you need some inspiration, review the works of some famous Italian poets, such as Dante Alighieri or Francesco Petrarca.

Italian Wine

• Wine is very much a part of everyday life in Italy. In Italian culture, the gift of wine is given with the wishes of happiness and joy, sentiments that are often shared with respect to a married couple's future. Italy produces award-winning red, white and blush wines that can be purchased throughout the world.

Italian Jewelry

• The 25th wedding anniversary is known as the "silver anniversary," while the 50th is known as the "golden anniversary." These are two significant milestones in a couple's marriage, which are celebrated with gifts traditionally made of silver and gold. For either of these anniversaries, Italian jewelry would be appropriate. You can buy jewelry from famous Italian designers, like Bulgari and Damiani, that have shops in many locations around the globe.
