Is this still made in Italy? Or has production shifted to cheaper locations, such as China?

Definitely still made in Italy. I researched it thoroughly at time of purchase. Even gaskets are made in Italy and must be ordered from there. Great machine better than Alessi

Mine just bought says made in India. Even sounds worse to me then Italy. LOL If it read China, right into the trash.

It is made in Italy. When I received it I noticed immediately that the first pages of the instructions were written in Italian

It said it was made in Italy but when I received my set it had stickers that said made in China. I set mine back.

They are made in Italy but there are offices in NY. Here's their website for tons of information: www.bormioliroccousa.com.

NOT made in Italy, but in India. I called Novartis and they said that this product is made in both Italy and India! Quite a difference and this is the brand, not the generic.Rip-off! Barbara D.

It said: Made in Italy on the bottom of the box. I still not sure if the one I bought through Amazon is authentic because it doesn't last long as the sample I sprayed on when I tried it at the mall. Sorry for taking me little while to response!

I have looked all over and it does not indicate where it is made on the appliance. I do believe that when I was researching it I saw somewhere where Stefano Giovannoni - designer - makes his products in Italy. You might want to try going to this company makes their products in Italy. You might want to go to their website www.alessi.com or sac@alessi.com; it maybe indicated there. Good Luck

I buy it as per recommendation of a neighbor. He has the previous model. I buy it because it was 100% stainless steel. And as I know, it was made in Italy.

mine were made in Austria, but I purchased mine 2 years ago. I've heard they started making them in China so I'm not sure.

This machine is made in Italy....I ordered another with compressor and it WAS made in China. VERY poor quality, lots of plastic and the turn on knob was broken upon removal from packing material. This machine is fabulous. I have made at least 100 plus quarts and pints since purchase. We give as gifts to housewarming or hostess gifts for dinner parties. I have only one complaint it is about 45 lbs very heavy to lift. It was well worth the money not like any other machine out there. PERFECT ice cream/ gelato every time. A tip on vanilla. I use Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. Takes that vanilla ice cream to a higher level. Just delicious.

I went to the Bialetti web site which stated the company originated in Italy in 1919 and is still in business today. However, I couldn't find any mention of where the pots are actually manufactured.

can't recall as I threw mine away recently... Italian company, but likely made in china or Thailand. Skip it regardless not worth the VERY short life.
