but you can
-ask US consul/embassy in your country where you can get a list of US wholesalers,exporters
-attend trade shows,usually held in large cities,Milan ??
The largest antique show is held outside London,jewelry and gemstones in Tuscon,AZ,if you are into jade,Burma has one for you where many Chinese dealers attend,Frankfurt Germany has gift show.
Where in Italy are you?
Look for a wholesale district close to you ,I bet you can find many things which are imported from China.
I have a book on US wholesalers ,just found it,if interested I can mail it to you,
but it sounds like you are looking for dropshipper,most wholesalers do not sell small quantity .
you should find dropshippers on line
