My understanding is that the Vitrifrigo is made in Italy, while the TF is made in China. It's basically become impossible to *not* buy products that are made in China these days, but when I have a choice between two otherwise equivalent products (like in this case) I personally prefer to buy the one that is not made in China.
Just my preference, people that want to debate that point of view should probably PM me or wait until friday.
