Bene was launched in 2006 and is the only magazine in the US completely dedicated to all things Italian. Created for anyone who adores eating divine Italian food, dressing in exquisite Italian clothes and accessories and traveling anywhere in the magnificent country, Bene captures the intoxicating essence of Italy from new and interesting perspectives.
The original Balducci's was founded as a fruit-and-vegetable stand in Brooklyn in 1916 by a young immigrant from Corato-Bari, Italy named Louis "Pop" Balducci. Balducci's quickly acquired an outstanding reputation throughout New York. In 1946, Pop and his son Andy opened their first retail store in Greenwich Village; this expanded, department by department, until they finally opened a new store at 424 Sixth Avenue that would become known as the Balducci's. That store was acquired by Sutton Place Gourmet in 1999, which in turn was acquired by Bear Stearns Merchant Banking in November, 2003.

Balducci's Food Lover's Market is one of the largest specialty food companies in the country, with 10 stores and 4 restaurants, and a heritage that dates back to 1916. Formerly operating under the names Hay Day Country Farm Market, Sutton Place Gourmet and Balducci's, the company was purchased in November 2003 by an investment group led by Bear Stearns Merchant Banking. The Balducci's flagship store on 8th Avenue in Manhattan opened in December 2005. For more information on Balducci's, visit www.balduccis.com.
