Giardiniera is a mixture of different fresh vegetables pickled in a vinegar/oil mixture. In Chicago, giardiniera is used more as a relish. You can find giardiniera either mild or hot but, if you are a Chicagoan, you know we love our giardiniera hot, hot, hot---especially over Italian beef.
But, I would recommend you not mix your spices into a homemade Italian seasoning mix, for a few reasons. First, some of the core mix are better dry, like Oregano -- Oregano needs to dry out to attain full flavor. Others, like Basil absolutely suck dried out, and taste way, way better fresh. Most spices taste better fresh. Second, most legit Italian food doesn't use a big mix-o-spices.
