also known as "Four A", ''Abbigliamento'' (clothes), ''Agroalimentare'' (food), ''Arredamento'' (furniture) and ''Automobili'' (automobiles). Italian products have often been associated with quality, high specialization and differentiation, elegance, and strong links to experienced and famous

industrial districts often connected with the concept of luxury. Since 1999, Made in Italy has begun to be protected by associations such as ''Istituto per la Tutela dei Produttori Italiani'' (Institute for the Protection of the Italian Manufacturers) and regulated by the Gucci company to the Italian government. In recent times the merchandise mark ''Made in Italy'' has become decisive for Italian exports and so common worldwide to be often considered as a separate product category. In January 2014, Google Cultural Institute, in collaboration with the

government and the

Chamber of Commerce, launched an online project aimed to promote ''Made in Italy'' by using virtual showrooms about several famous

products.

Regulation

In 2009, the Italian law 135 stated that only products totally made in Italy (planning, manufacturing and packaging) are allowed to use the labels ''Made in Italy'', ''100% Made in Italy'', ''100% Italia'', ''tutto italiano'' in every language, with or without the

flag of Italy The national flag of Italy ( it, Bandiera d'Italia, ), often referred to in Italian as ''il Tricolore'' ( en, the Tricolour, ) is a tricolour (flag), tricolour featuring three equally sized vertical Pale (heraldry), pales of green, white and red, ...

. Each abuse is punished by the Italian law. Compared with "Made in Germany" ('all essential manufacturing steps') and "Made in the USA" ('all or virtually all'), Italian regulation is more restrictive ('totally') in determining what qualifies for the use of the "Made in Italy" label.
