Hi, sorry for the late reply, you have probably long since purchased some cookware! This is beautiful cookware, but according to this article, all Lagostina cookware is made in China (not Italy, as they would have you believe). I don't know how much this set is going for, I couldn't find it on Amazon. But I agree that this is gorgeous, as is their hammered copper clad cookware. If you got it, how do you like it?
