We whispered timeless stories while moving beneath frescoed ceilings, as new synergies slowly and gently began to intertwine beneath the sublime presence of Beauty and Excellence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/895cbe25-a88a-4a1b-a40d-8c38901e8cfc/symposium_Ludovica-24.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3e3010a4-0947-4d9b-8e52-4955af615d5d/symposium_Ludovica-40.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/6362d4d6-32df-49b8-9ebe-e78ba1af2b23/Symposium_2025_Basili-202.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - Not mere props, but unique pieces of jewelry. Precicely, over 500 of them, including Cardinal crosses, rings, and cufflinks, all masterfully crafted by the Paolo Penko family under the visionary direction of costume designer Lisy Christl. Each piece of jewelry was therefore made strictly by hand, following the features of the character's personality, using traditional but also innovative techniques, typical of Bottega Penko, such as lost-wax casting, fretwork, engraving and ‘penkato’ along with a careful historical and symbolic research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/67a019a7-1811-4d23-8eea-e32e4be97060/symposium_Ludovica-21.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/621385b3-954c-44ce-987f-5d7f1a2f212f/symposium_Ludovica-6.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/de445c2d-fe97-43a0-b657-58cef0fbb564/symposium_Ludovica-214.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/defeeee2-95aa-4f3f-b300-3d418c634a7b/Symposium_2025_Basili-64.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/638eef3b-d81a-4f80-af28-27d538477ab9/Symposium_2025_Basili-50.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3c75dfe9-87fc-468c-8a6e-773289e9b855/Symposium_2025_Basili-56.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/e4741c49-81ad-4cbd-bfb9-8ffbdf25dc82/Symposium_2025_Basili-49.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/312f0319-973d-4dc4-9264-5f571f4445ff/Symposium_2025_Basili-40.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/4199768b-82ee-4ef5-bbdb-174e3bccbd0f/Symposium_2025_Basili-34.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/42b70978-982d-44fa-8f9e-1762553a6fba/Symposium_2025_Basili-23.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5503163f-a320-45cb-a526-7b64e68d61a1/Symposium_2025_Basili-21.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/f64a4677-53de-4116-a7ec-38348ccfce28/Symposium_2025_Basili-39.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ca3c3a7b-a52d-4a50-9b08-32d3362405af/Symposium_2025_Basili-206.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/e48fb4d1-f792-4f95-b490-39a83f97d9e3/Symposium_2025_Basili-22.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - A Touch of Silk. The gems and precious metals were further enhanced by the exquisite, colourful silks by the Antico Setificio Fiorentino.

We chose it as the centrepiece of the exhibition and the unifying symbol of #Symposium2025. Displayed in a place of honour, it became a quiet yet powerful emblem of the event’s spirit. I wore one of the two copies created for Conclave with pride and honour; and so, in a way, did all our guests, each of whom received a small, precious replica in 925 silver, handcrafted by Paolo Penko and nestled within their paper invitation. These delicate crosses, worn as part of each ensemble, became both precious adornment and shared memento of the event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/7a07ea59-f8c0-435a-85e9-080480333410/Symposium_2025_Basili-65.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/c4710006-7243-4f74-babc-73450c178b31/Symposium_2025_Basili-66.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/a8da715d-b1ba-43fb-b931-4e9d827260ea/Inviti_squarespace-18.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/542eed6b-b666-4e4f-b9f3-8e1722fbda67/Inviti_squarespace-8.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/916bb8d7-19f1-491e-9157-57ef27bbbde7/symposium_Ludovica-51.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - The cross bears eight olives.. the number of Resurrection. While seven marks the days of Creation, the eighth signifies fulfilment, eternity, and the redemption of humankind.

Hidden gems, usually inaccessible, where guests savour the rare privilege of losing themselves.. unobserved, unhurried, free from constraint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/40c33900-d3b5-4cff-8a69-836a8b306483/symposium_Ludovica-14.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/37883d4f-d38d-41e0-91bb-ae6cbf14173f/symposium_Ludovica-115.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/2a7e9678-f80c-43cf-a6ca-529d684eb99b/symposium_Ludovica-47.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/e7657124-ddeb-4155-954e-8cb74e416f9d/Symposium_2025_Basili-108.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/b3fa1a13-558f-46bd-bc05-391b585e2efd/symposium_Ludovica-120.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - The Walls Speak to Those who Listen. At Palazzo Rondinini we could still feel the pulse of the cherished home it once was. The Rondinini Marquis became a devoted patron of the finest applied arts of his time, transforming his residence into a living canvas for Roman Baroque artists and masters to fully express their craft! Every surface speaks his vision: the floors inlaid with rare marbles, the frescoed vaults rich with family symbols and iconography, the micro-mosaics of impossible delicacy, the collection of Roman statues standing sentinel in quiet grace... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/a52bb450-8912-4746-b757-be8737dbb9fb/Symposium_2025_Basili-115.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/094c2b2f-b6fc-4e9a-bc5d-51ed4f503276/symposium_Ludovica-174.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome The light in her eyes and the genuine emotion she revealed while previewing the exhibition of “her” Cardinal jewelry collection, crafted by Paolo Penko, left no doubt as to what makes her truly “great”: not only her extraordinary professional sensitivity, but her profound understanding of the human ability to shape Beauty through daily acts of love and carry it into the future. Thank you, Lisy, for your luminous presence, which meant the world to us, and for giving us reason to feel immense pride, and the quiet certainty that we are moving in the right direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/71247fc4-2363-42e5-bea3-bf5d37bedb73/symposium_Ludovica-116.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/faf80c3e-b316-4231-86a0-731560c98143/symposium_Ludovica-86.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/76c85518-7086-48d1-bb80-cc3e5b34af87/symposium_Ludovica-224.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/30fe48e0-9807-4b02-919c-b95fc7c8b33d/symposium_Ludovica-87.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/9a22f661-fae7-4680-98c7-02a4c152f447/Symposium_2025_Basili-95.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/cd4c09bb-6ba7-435a-9d5b-ecaa0418caba/Symposium_2025_Basili-12.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - Every year, for months, I devote myself entirely to bringing Symposium to life: a project into which I pour energy, work, investment and heart. Its purpose is simple: to gather, under one roof, the closest partners, clients, friends, and all the irreplaceable members of a precious 'ecosystem' united by a shared devotion to Beauty and Excellence, to live a unique and memorable experience together. Symposium is a space and time for genuine connection and international professional exchange, where deep conversations happen, while eyes are filled with wonder and glasses with fine wines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/6b9bbe87-f1b7-456d-81ad-c79b0d973beb/symposium_Ludovica-246.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/e09407e0-71ed-488f-9461-4af2ebbaa43a/symposium_Ludovica-222.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0c34a6fb-b610-4ac3-8457-d3251f426b3f/symposium_Ludovica-154.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d9af8fbb-0f7f-4a37-b202-83cb10319d5b/Symposium_2025_Basili-212.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/440bd743-2a4f-447c-a1f3-a93dfb36d189/Symposium_2025_Basili-5.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/610b8275-9521-4e6d-9287-6747fe4ef903/Symposium_2025_Basili-4.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/e574b486-8c55-462e-86ed-745fdb2def40/symposium_Ludovica-65.jpg Stories - Symposium 2025: Sacrum et Lumen, Rome - An ode to craftsmanship, and to the consistency of Beauty through detail.

Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - 100 Princes Street is a jewel of a boutique heritage hotel, beautifully reborn on the city’s iconic thoroughfare. David’s warm smile at the entrance sets the tone for what lies behind the main doors, within this remarkable building, once home to the Royal Overseas League and now quietly nestled among the historic facades of the street. As the flagship and Scottish debut of the prestigious Red Carnation Hotels, 100 Princes Street felt more like an exclusive members’ club than a usual luxury hotel: an exquisitely curated haven to come back to after busy days; intimate, soulful, and rich with character. I lived an immersive encounter with the finest expressions of Edinburgh’s cultural identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/9b883b90-d0ef-4679-8a38-baaa48f57608/Low-34.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - 5 Bespoke Tartans by Araminta Campbell In a seamless collaboration with Red Carnation Hotels, the Scottish luxury textile designer Araminta Campbell embarked on a journey to create five bespoke tartans, each one capturing the spirit of the hotel and the personalities woven into its story. The result is a collection that is not only visually striking, but deeply meaningful; woven heirlooms that bring character, authenticity, and a sense of belonging to the hotel’s identity: the 100 Princes Street Tartan, The Brennan Tartan, The Lourie Tartan, The Tollman Tartan, The Swerling tartan. At 100 Princes Street I was on a mission to discover and photograph these five tartans! To accomplish this privileged task, I set out to explore a few of its 30 breathtaking suites, each conceived as a world of its own, including one of the two exceptional signature suites: The Archibald, named after the renowned Scottish explorer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/11ec8afb-b443-4490-9cc5-1041a2432021/Low-36.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/c494af51-5870-48f4-b769-72a961a57add/Low-6.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/b26038a9-e310-4113-a0d8-0299387e66c6/Low-1.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/dd969719-a090-42c0-8ded-6b6b647289c9/Low-7.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3d0b4dbd-5d19-4802-bbb3-fbe845998040/Low-2.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/a84c28a2-b6e4-4c09-b43e-8e185830eb30/Low-3.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/80236404-70db-4abb-9c49-2e4e01e27701/Low-10.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5ebf20fd-c2a1-4045-b031-0676cfbf63a6/Low-23.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/6c3f9afc-7732-40a0-b610-5173e5933c5d/Low-9.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d136c3a3-3790-4692-8d29-d416f74e3a21/Low-4.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0f061613-831b-4392-84ec-56f201958710/Low-27.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - Make it stand out Hand-painted mural by Croxford & Saunders, London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1754154662485-L1V1ZNHIT6AUVRF9YINK/Low-41.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/03829031-b2fe-42cb-9594-59ed83231b3f/Low-43.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/a9f5d7c4-0ba6-440d-9f84-08fa7d332698/Low-40.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/b23cc8c2-1abe-4753-80b1-778a34c16ceb/Low-42.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1754154608476-SNJPRV28KPYGWRREBSKK/Low-45.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/797528cb-d4a9-433b-b658-f83d6f99ebb8/Low-44.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/848820a5-6214-417d-901e-fa3f32861254/Low-30.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - A quintessential Scottish experience at The Wallace Bar & Ghillie's Pantry The Wallace Bar is where I was fortunate enough to enjoy the most tranquil moments of each day. Between one work trip and the next, it became a haven of calm, a place for unhurried pauses both at the start of a busy day and in its quiet close. Here, I was greeted with the warmest hospitality and a sip of fragrant tea, and treated to unforgettable breakfasts, softly lit by the morning glow and accompanied by the ever-enchanting view of Edinburgh Castle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0382682f-bfe4-47b5-afad-b08824a2bdab/Low-50.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/01ea4a63-0357-4148-acc2-b31adecad867/Low-25.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/c45f124b-1fc9-4d3d-ad60-c3f9976138b0/Low-12.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/4a6b0b00-93e1-4eb9-b8f0-c31f78a5b470/Low-13.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/96084c80-a4e0-449f-84e2-4d6f67de15c2/Low-22.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/7f07aafc-de9d-4f30-b72f-a79346fbf23e/Low-47.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - The ultimate Whisky Journey with Dario Orsili Dario Orsili, Head Bartender and Whisky Ambassador, welcomes guests not with a menu, but with a conversation. He listens, learns what you like (and what you don’t), then quietly builds a tasting tailored just for you. It’s not about showing off the rarest bottle in the collection, it’s about helping guests find the one that they love the most. 100 Princes Street is in fact a hidden gem for lovers of the dram, where the collection stretches well past 200 bottles and counting, carefully stored at the Wallace Bar and the Ghillie's Pantry. I came across an interview in the hotel’s journal where they asked Dario about his favourite whisky. He replied… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/c1397557-e069-4737-9896-c9dc0c038728/Low-28.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/c13df188-616b-4580-9211-744b8373817b/Low-49.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - Ghillie’s Pantry is pure character. Shelves cradling over a hundred whiskies line the walls, some well-known, others nearly impossible to find… like a Laphroaig 20 Year Old Director’s Special or The Glenlivet 25. Overhead, a hand-painted celestial mural by Croxford & Saunders stretches across the ceiling, giving the space a hushed, absolutely magical feel. Scotland is full of remarkable stories, and whisky is one of its most compelling. But I didn’t expect to find one of the country’s leading whisky minds to be... a fellow Roman! Dario’s journey from Rome to the heart of Scottish whisky culture is as layered and surprising as the drams he pours. And maybe that’s what makes the experience here so special: beneath every drop lies a personal connection, a memory, a bit of soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3c18715f-53da-4da2-a06c-d378fba9c15e/Low-33.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/08dee4b9-474c-4f0f-a052-20d3021c9e98/Low-21.jpg Stories - Experiencing the Art of Scottish Luxury Hospitality at 100 Princes Street - To me, they felt less like hotel guests and more like patrons of a private members' club: curious, attentive, interested in one another, and quietly reverent.

Exploring hidden corners of memory through fragrance is a fascinating experience.. surprising for some, deeply challenging for others. Some memories, only seemingly forgotten, remain latently within us, "asleep" until a scent or a sound suddenly brings them back to life. As a guest of a private fragrance creation experience by Ephemera Firenze, I’ve come to understand that scent, along with sound, bypasses logic and goes straight to the brain, triggering unconscious and often unexpected reactions. Perfume masters have always explored this peculiar feature of the human soul and turned it into a source of Beauty. With this in mind, I wanted to experiment: to create a made-to-measure perfume that not only reflected my personal taste of today [as I've already experienced] but was also built upon notes tied to clear, meaningful memories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/9706af00-1fe3-4d60-a6f7-e26bfd748967/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-2.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/6fb65243-ee69-4953-818e-27b9e9d54edf/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-6.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/203c34fa-3182-492e-8989-ce375ab81120/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-44.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/6c6c9c08-efab-4870-80f3-fb15ca7de02e/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-53.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/32269ca6-0877-47b3-9c16-f3bb062cd05c/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-63.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/89eb53b8-c0a2-4092-ba77-c77a6311ae49/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-66.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1742913773557-8K1MT9TQOF727O69H2BV/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-20.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5f5c9725-7280-4149-8f62-099e7a0627f4/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-5.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. - Ephemera: The Art of Fragrance as Experience Ephemera Firenze is a curator of immersive experiences and olfactory branding. Unlike traditional ateliers, Ephemera chooses exclusive, secret, ever-changing locations to host these unique, shared experiences. Their philosophy is rooted in the idea that perfume is a sort of passageway to the unseen. Whether through bespoke fragrance creation, immersive workshops, or olfactory branding, Ephemera transforms scent into a deeply personal art form, one that resonates on an unconscious level and becomes a messanger of a person’s [or a brand’s] story. Their approach is one of quiet elegance—where expertise meets intuition, and where fragrance is composed not just with the nose, but with the heart. Each creation is therefore unique, shaped by the person wearing it, as an extension of their identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/57baa5f0-4947-469a-a47b-4f7a08e084b5/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-1.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/815087b6-b360-4b5e-8ac7-e90094fbd3a1/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-62.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/059490e7-77a0-487c-8a35-6cdef6c1e1f2/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-24.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/423b5193-8d6a-4898-9f61-e61c91602083/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-36.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/8a86c728-40a1-4bf6-8596-6f7d014eb22f/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-50.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. - “Perfume is the most intense form of memory.” Jean-Paul Guerlain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/206bccc9-474c-423d-bdcf-c73af195bdec/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-16.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/f32768cb-8b4a-441f-85ed-92863983d8f4/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-39.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/4832d38b-2f3b-4d6d-9b5c-ff09bdeb982e/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-11.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/024a4e00-80b6-400e-8c67-fb1abc6e1d4e/Eph%C3%A8mera_Firenze_Low-13.jpg Stories - Awakening sleeping memories through fragrance with Ephemera. https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/penko-conclave-oscars monthly 0.5 2025-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ee961a4e-3834-4e18-9898-0548d685043e/Eventi_Pitti_ridimensionate-2.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] - Among the Italian names in the running for the Oscars 2025, one stands out that sounds familiar; a name that brings to Hollywood all the values of true Italian well-made, and for this reason it is a source of immense pride for all of us: the Florentine goldsmith Bottega Paolo Penko. The Penko family, already well-known in Florence for its meticulous goldsmith work, heir to ancient artisan traditions, was asked to craft about 530 pieces of jewelry [cardinal crosses, rings and cufflinks] for the movie ‘Conclave’, directed by Edward Berger, in only three months.. an unexpected challenge and an intensive work for artisans who work strictly by hand, as true craftsmanship tradition dictates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5efdb150-39c9-4921-8aae-6ce2e25e5cc1/Screenshot_20250208_144111_com.instagram.android_edit_276337388585437.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] - Each piece of jewelry was therefore made strictly by hand, following the features of the character's personality- - using traditional but also innovative techniques, typical of Bottega Penko, such as lost-wax casting, fretwork, engraving and ‘penkato’ along with a careful historical and symbolic research. The Bottega was approached by costume designer Lisy Christl, who immediately recognised the potential of the family's excellent work; her vision ensured that the jewelry perfectly complemented the visual narrative of the movie, complemented by extraordinary cinematography. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/c95a9878-5cca-4f63-a033-77f4d14eeee6/Penko_Conclave-11.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] - A prestigious milestone for the finest Italian craftsmanship; which brings the Florentine goldsmith's art into the international spotlight: an accolade that, somehow, involves all of us! Paolo Penko's goldsmith's workshop, in the shadow of Brunelleschi's dome, is one of the places in Florence where our collective heritage is consciously guarded. More than five centuries since the virtuoso Florentine goldsmiths fulfilled the commissions of enlightened patrons, here gestures and liturgies remain the same, faithful to those methods that made Florentine goldsmithing world-famous; a contemplation of the past that is not melancholic or nostalgic but rather a responsible awareness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d40723af-8a06-4e58-9f61-201138e2615d/Penko_Conclave-2.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] - Cardinal Bellini's cross. Played by Stanley Tucci, the Cardinal Bellini’s Cross was inspired by Giotto's Franciscan crucifixes. In the centre, the symbol of the pelican feeding its young is the emblem of Christ's sacrifice. An ancient legend says that if the chicks died of starvation, the pelican would open its breast and keep them alive by feeding them with its own body. This is why Christians have adopted this animal as a symbol of Christ, the Redeemer who sacrifices himself to give eternal life to humanity, freeing it from sin, and feeds it with his own body in the Eucharistic rite. On the back, is engraved the Latin sentence: “PIE PELLICANE, JESU DOMINE, ME IMMUNDUM MUNDA TUO SANGUINE” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ea65f661-c3ad-436f-94d6-cd186102ed7a/Penko_Conclave-1.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/385e5a09-e92c-4b30-af81-ea91d3862af5/Penko_Conclave-13.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0179ded4-5b9d-4886-8e3b-306cc96e4c09/Penko_Conclave-4.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/09edf761-9cb6-4ee1-86af-6314cfd9e80f/Penko_Conclave-12.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1739027999641-OBXLG7HBMFOS9077U76F/WhatsApp+Image+2025-02-07+at+3.33.54+PM.jpeg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/17e42127-6c2e-4578-98cd-85ea3d5649df/Penko_Conclave-3.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ffa59bae-3570-4457-a2a3-dc67710e8d85/Screenshot_20250208_144216_com.instagram.android_edit_276319749929190.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] - Lisy Christl, costume designer of ‘Conclave’, collecting the CDGA: Costume Designers Guild Awards - LA, February 7th 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3bc0da26-b1a3-4ff9-b8a9-f8384d02ea57/Croce_Penko-7.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/135f1086-3c1c-4caa-b6bf-fc942ca79068/Croce_Penko-14.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/54bc6e51-e24b-4eb3-af4a-7b5f8e1fbe42/Locandina4.jpg Stories - Paolo Penko: from the Florentine Bottega to the stars, via the Oscars [2025] - Towards the Oscars..

A man whose lyrics tell the story of Scotland as no one else ever has. Once again I crossed the sublime threshold of Villa Wolkonsky, the Roman residence of the British Ambassador to Italy, Sir Edward Llewellyn, this time to actively contribute to an exquisite Scottish feast! Here the British Embassy celebrated this day in the most traditional way. The Ambassador and the Deputy Ambassador, David Burton, treated their guests to a quintessentially Scottish experience: the haggis was toasted, the pipers piped, the whisky was (copiously) poured and the people danced to traditional notes. The guests were greeted by the traditional sound of bagpipes from the City of Rome Pipe Band, which accompanied the entire evening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/f488ba70-df92-45ff-bc53-0ae32db4fa58/Burns_Night2.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/6929cc80-1acb-4440-8859-aee8ce1a8661/Burns_Night28.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence - Make it stand out Araminta Campbell’s textiles exhibition, in the ‘Pink Room’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/7d4c665a-6a68-438f-8fc8-94222266e251/Burns_Night33.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/625e3830-4623-4428-ac4d-3a2974b584bf/Burns_Night22.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/34a3fd1a-befc-4ba0-a8ec-9be052c293fd/Burns_Night21.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/7c71615a-2fd3-44c5-8c51-508f0bc6695f/Burns_Night15.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/c36dd916-cf52-43f6-99d2-f1278e8e44da/Burns_Night13.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/853e9363-97bd-4714-be24-94fb8f198467/Burns_Night18.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/92b11f75-d091-468d-8d70-30c5a05a29f7/Burns_Night8.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence - The New Balmoral Hunting Tartan by Araminta Campbell It was a true honour and responsibility for me to officially present the new Hunting Tartan to the Ambassy’ team and their guests on this special occasion, designed by Araminta Campbell for Balmoral Castle & Estate at the request of His Majesty King Charles III and launched the last July the 1st at the Balmoral Castle & Estate in Ballater. The rich scenery and the unique heritage of the Balmoral Castle are reflected in the colour palette and design of the tartan. The pattern has also been integrated with numerical references associated with the history of Balmoral and His Majesty. The colour palette was initially achieved through the ancient technique of natural plant dyeing, a skill that Araminta has been experimenting with for over 20 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1739116249839-NWR6OOTL2TR2ZWVB4OTZ/Burns_Night29.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence - Wearing a stunning Araminta Campbell hand-woven tartan wide scarf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ce9de8f1-020b-45cc-bb06-2d2cf53f8f95/Burns_Night31.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence - With dear friends Luigi Coppola & Francesco de Mitri from FAI Delegazione Roma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/34838efd-0889-4797-b936-4e9c710d53ee/54284753968_54bc00793d_4k.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence - Make it stand out A ‘royal portrait’ with Pierluigi Puglia & Claudio Sinibaldi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1739126843769-MBVDUD4OOBAYJK2D4VY7/burns_T4T01777.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1739126564528-8XE6IGUXTMVD31SPUNFK/burns_T4T01802.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1739126605130-G8ML0QQOBF1K0X4VFTKQ/burns_T4T01913.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1739126643969-TYETJ3CVK0KPH5P422KO/burns_T4T02076.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/8d5f5abc-9320-41b5-94a3-cd7e1ac6a3a2/Burns_Night6.jpg Stories - A celebration of Scottish Heritage at the Ambassador’s Roman Residence - After dinner, the bagpipes were handed over to the Coughdrops trio to accompany the traditional ‘ceilidh’ – the typical dances of Scottish celebrations.

The anticipation for The Belmond Royal Scotsman Train to arrive at the platform at Edinburgh Waverley station brought with it a rush of excitement. We planned a very detailed and tight schedule, as we knew we had only a short, privileged, time to photograph Araminta Campbell's hand-woven campaign.

In each thread of The Royal Scotsman’s tartan and tweed lies a beautiful reflection of the untouched Scottish landscape and the illustrious journey that passengers embark upon when they board the Belmond train. With Araminta’s signature mastery of storytelling through thread, she has crafted a bespoke design that not only exudes luxury but also narrates the enchanting journey awaiting travellers aboard the opulent Belmond Train. Each design element within the designs encapsulates the essence of the adventure and the timeless spirit of Scotland itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/404a75b3-dd3e-4704-b738-e7f47836a6a0/interni_low-7.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1efc4b85-8db5-475f-8871-dc8b62ccc684/interni_low-6.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/79f2e7e5-1749-4077-8194-5335924c0739/interni_low-11.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/f5373382-c570-4f52-8a4a-87481e5baa23/interni_low-9.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/16b8f8c0-969c-4ab7-8ded-e2b66ec527e2/interni_low-10.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/a1a52864-e616-4541-9589-776c7f646438/interni_low-4.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/63156a93-6442-44df-995b-6bd91cddd89e/interni_low-15.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. - The complete set of the tartan, meticulously crafted from 514 threads, mirrors the very miles the train embarks upon during its journeys. In the soft green check of the tartan, 10 threads are delicately placed, each representing the 10 carriages that form the train, each thread carrying the dreams and aspirations of its passengers. The colour palette for Belmond’s tartan and tweed designs are inspired by the untouched Scottish landscape. Emerald hues reflect the rolling hills, while deep, earthy tones capture the vast moors stretching to the horizon. Soft blues and greys evoke the snowy peaks of the mountains meeting the sea, blending seamlessly to tell the story of Scotland’s natural beauty in every thread. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5e72b590-3ce7-472f-9b4b-35ad4d07c631/interni_low-13.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/e4ed7581-fa9e-4048-a43a-67eca443fb3a/interni_low-3.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/e8ac181a-ead6-40a3-83d9-c289f11c51d9/interni_low-14.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/36a4058c-c1a6-4cba-b244-c27a29ba411c/interni_low-5.jpg Stories - A quintessentially Scottish campaign aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman. https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/symposium-tea-ritual monthly 0.5 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/2dd2ab5d-b632-44b5-98ff-7761c1d157bc/_V7A8007-min.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence - After all, it only took a sip of tea to make Marcel Proust gasp, leaving him 'drawn to something extraordinary happening' inside him; one sip was enough to distract him from the gloomy day and evoke sweet, sedimented memories, latent, never really forgotten… For Elena Matei, Tea Sommelier at the St. Regis Florence, it was the scent of linden trees; blooming linden trees that dot the streets of Florence in May, evoking vivid memories of the great tree in her grandmother's garden in Transylvania; Elena remembers following her in the garden and in the woods, gathering herbs, flowers and plants for her blends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d3fd8a3b-86c5-4fa0-9f75-dba9a7bca8bd/tearitual-116.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/b1e7bae8-eefa-477f-9345-bd4d9ed9a221/tearitual-65.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/4c330a34-2c49-4240-9f94-8fc98d0c4be1/tearitual-21.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence - For the private breakfast hosted for Symposium guests, Elena welcomed us with her sweetest smile framed by long blonde braids, gathered and adorned with butterfly pins; she prepared a sensory journey of nine curated blends accompanied by all sorts of sweet delights. Elena Matei meticulously designs her tea blends, from investigating the beneficial effects of the individual ingredients, to choosing the best combinations, until drying and finally organising the sequence in which they should be tasted. For the occasion, the nine blends were created especially for the Symposium guests, who had the opportunity to smell their aroma, admire their natural shapes and colours, before seeing them slowly transformed into exquisite infusions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ec208529-0e37-44bd-9ea3-b19ec2aa7b39/tearitual-48.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/bdffb1cb-a721-4ffc-b8c6-26c464a7e6a1/tearitual-123.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/362f367f-6b89-457d-8547-687421b84fb3/tearitual-80.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/fbb12673-7e94-40aa-8eb6-89fc24a4246b/tearitual-108.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0cd41c77-70ac-44f1-b614-068c48eeba5f/tearitual-78.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/07067001-8274-46e6-9d7c-a2b446335447/tearitual-38.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/39efd6bf-d91d-4f1f-b708-383d5842ba7b/tearitual-114.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence - Elena Matei is featured in ‘Crafting Excellence’ Chapter XXIII of the coffee table book ‘Crafting Excellence, Florence’ investigates the value of Reminiscence as one of the pillars of Excellence: as the invocation of sweet familiar notes and memories re-emerging in the present. Elena Matei's rare talent is the best representative of this profound value: an extraordinary example of how reality acquires meaning when we add the essential: a meaning, an expectation, a memory, a vision. A prodigious, almost mystical evocative force that gives certain tangible artefacts the role of messengers and access keys to non-places that have very little that is tangible. Thus a mysterious glimpse into the human soul is revealed, in its complexity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/92d29959-9367-4bd0-9206-39c7b9ddef61/tearitual-30.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3712616f-124e-494e-875e-4994af324e7b/tearitual-24.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5fb58101-0423-420f-9930-98209b083c9d/tearitual-63.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ec080b69-d445-44bf-9aaa-76ac2c4d34e5/tearitual-46.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d54320e5-56be-498d-ab85-4e8ec034dcd0/0V7A8302.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence - Immortal buds, petals and stems - - yet crystallised in the moment of their fall, with masterly botanical accuracy. Some petals are gone, others faded or yellowed, slightly wrinkled, the stems seem bent by gravity and time. The extraordinary paper flowers, handmade by the Belgian artisan, Venice based, Juliana Donà delle Rose, were placed next to the precious Ginori tea china to beautifully decorate the table for the occasion. At first glance, they appear to be works of art made by nature, not by human hands... yet they are the result of slow and repeated gentle, yet firm gestures of a young and brilliant craftswoman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/61cc1b6a-d51f-4c09-b1b3-8c2799664e68/tearitual-94.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ddaa0a04-f053-4d0e-b04a-25322d17d305/tearitual-89.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/fe66de5f-f176-4af6-b0f1-2cf8ddeca9c6/tearitual-82.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/8217a288-c4c2-4a8e-b1e8-456552b47896/tearitual-85.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/724e9108-fecc-4397-b579-baa2027d8090/tearitual-74.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/9a0971fb-ea21-47c8-b2cc-193666a27e7f/tearitual-66.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3c546732-e0e3-4c83-8363-cf2f36df1a12/tearitual-73.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/dfb9614f-33f7-4546-8077-8783f9bf394f/tearitual-4.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/2e08b966-ad81-4d2b-b54e-78d3fcc29d01/tearitual-70.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5e32e7ab-4d2d-4dfa-9196-87c3694dfcd8/tearitual-69.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/11da0107-7d62-4659-a155-930736169d07/tearitual-59.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/f3289b62-5f9b-4113-a2ec-60a84d84d893/tearitual-64.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/b26743cd-e6c3-4136-b545-76b85f20245d/tearitual-51.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/8511d65e-dbda-476a-8b7b-b93a35598da1/tearitual-45.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/b79107b0-1605-4335-b583-f259e5f0003d/tearitual-16.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3fa219bf-f514-4ba3-9bdf-b4d9923bb20a/tearitual-32.jpg Stories - Symposium’s private Tea Ritual at the St.Regis, Florence https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/disclosures-vernissage-florence monthly 0.5 2025-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/bb996c70-213b-42e9-9160-768697d663f2/Foto-73-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens - Some evenings linger in our memories, wrapped in Beauty and magic, like the soft glow of the setting sun on Florence’s ancient landmarks.

Grace Lambert-Phillips is a Scottish documentary photographer who captures the essence of humanity and culture through black and white photography. She is also one of the most elegant, delicate, and graceful women I have ever met. She has been the beloved muse of the Scottish artist Jack Vettriano and has shown her work in exhibitions in New York, Scotland, and France. In 2020, Grace founded the Lambert-Phillips Foundation to raise awareness of the cultural and heritage conservation through photography. She now lives in the stunning frame of Tuscany, where she is opening a studio and gallery, continuing to explore the roots of photography and European cultural history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263344072-QR3EKUL4L3MINR2Z6LLJ/Foto-46-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729264140798-X9GU8U74FB8PXABG0SNZ/Foto-23-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263432157-ZEZQJ1V3VTOSRCYMZ98Q/Foto-65-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729264490013-T9QCV9VBOKGJA5769QH7/Foto-20-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263410671-JX7KZU0PK1IN32VLPLUF/Foto-47-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263409076-4N50NJ3JR7MI1WVJ5PU1/Foto-36-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/f771651c-1fcd-40e7-a25e-caf645c0202d/Foto-17-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens - “The great square was in shadow, the sunshine had come too late to strike it. Neptune was already unsubstantial in the twilight, half god, half ghost, and his fountain plashed dreamingly to the men and satyrs who idled together on its marge. The Loggia showed as the triple entrance of a cave, wherein many a deity, shadowy, but immortal, looking forth upon the arrivals and departures of mankind. It was the hour of unreality – the hour, that is, when unfamiliar things are real.” - E. M. Forster, A Room With a View https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d18c6714-b060-4e46-aa20-1ff1aef1f869/Foto-19-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens - As the evening came to a close, there was a profound sense of gratitude for being part of such a precious circle of kindred and graceful souls. Standing together beneath the soft twilight sky of Florence, unfolded the true power of art: its ability to connect people, and create precious shared memories, while celebrating Beauty, grace, and the lasting bonds we form through shared experiences and one common purpose, in the heart of a city that inspires admiration and contemplation in all of us. Grace’s Disclosures opened a window into a world where stillness and silence revealed their own Beauty, inviting us all to pause and see the moments that often go unnoticed, making the unrealty, real. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263805520-OSFC2T2SR9K8KQYWRMFU/Foto-54-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263802716-3SI1P155GNPNYJL5A0HQ/Foto-35-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263803141-6BDF1ISNRP5ZIZWOKU3X/Foto-49-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1729263808671-M1CLLS30WZA2ENL4DJIF/Foto-79-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/32993b5f-2c7e-4b2a-9d06-2a310e9e848c/Foto-89-min.jpg Stories - ‘Disclosures’: glimpses of Florence through Grace’s Lens - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/crafting-excellence-launch-event monthly 0.5 2024-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/52563e5a-93ec-4cef-abab-d0e60e8870b9/foto_evento-96-min.jpg Stories - Launching my book ‘Crafting Excellence’ over the Chianti vineyards. - On Thursday 11 July 2024, in the sublime setting of the Poggio Casciano Estate in Chianti, my book 'Crafting Excellence' was officially launched.

Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. - "Touch everything, because you won't get another chance." It was true, a second chance to touch pieces that mark art history and that once they leave that workshop will only be contemplated from behind a glass case, would not just happen.. It is known [maybe too often forgotten] that the human hand "understands and learns" as much as the mind. Being able to "touch" is a privilege. Touching an art object opens the door to a higher understanding that transcends the object itself. That is the Beauty of the most authentic Excellence: it always offers enrichment when directly experienced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706983879688-DFFYGC4G2JWZUXAQ9Q39/Maselli-56-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706980726085-MNN62M9IQ1W3UFWYQQTY/Maselli-57-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706979088672-4SEK25W4HDA3YJXPKTC1/Maselli-5-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706979088542-G8Z931SLXXT0B77YOQRG/Maselli-6-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706979405187-CZS5F7YMNNZ7KCAA7U9S/Maselli-9-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706979408245-CZX9AWVLVWTWM4186700/Maselli-23-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706979410268-EAS5HM9SCH9Q1MYVB7ZE/Maselli-28-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1706979411599-B22KHNPNE2L2DCFO9D5F/Maselli-39-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/2b6d4ea3-3d3b-4049-a809-e2d4d2939a85/Maselli-31-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/4932cd23-09ab-4f79-bd49-8e2ebbc1f45d/Maselli-20-min.jpg Stories - Excellence unveiled: behind the scenes of the Maselli Atelier in Florence. - As you navigate the tight spaces and witness the organized chaos, listening to Gabriele's thousand and one stories, you'll come to appreciate the Beauty that emerges from Authenticity.

The outfit chosen for ‘Symposium’ was the result of a further combination of Excellences. On the occasion of ‘Symposium’ asked everyone to wear their best dress [Dress Code: Reinessance Reminiscences] , without hesitation, without doubts; I wanted everyone's identity to reveal itself with confidence and tell as many stories as possible! It was with this in mind that I carefully chose my own outfit, because a physical object, such as a dress or a piece of jewellery, is a powerful vehicle for many more stories and values than can be told in words! During ‘Symposium’ I was wearing stories of four realities of Excellence.. plus one, an intimate and personal one, that I cherish in my heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ff2b26b6-6fd3-4c42-b77d-b672fefd26a5/invitati-55-min.jpg Stories - My outfit for Symposium' ‘23: a riot of Excellences - The dress I was wearing, is a precious sartorial garment from the archives by the Roman couture atelier, of Florentine origin, Antonella Rossi Atelier. Antonella herself, who's been a couture tailor for over 30 years, took it from the archive; she picked it straightforward, convinced that it was THE perfect dress; and I felt the way a bride feels when she finds her wedding dress! A riot of hand-embroidery, impeccable details and precious inserts on the corset, an exquisitely Renaissance cut, a cascade of the softest chiffon from the waist down that I played with all evening and made me feel straight out of a fairytale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1699024867056-UZ3A0BXLBP6WGZ2XDL5R/Ritratti_Franci-12-min.jpg Stories -

Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. - On September 30th 2023, in the sublime frame of Palazzo Portinari Salviati in Florence, I organised the first edition of 'Symposium' by Sprazzi Di Bellezza. A private, intimate, beautiful experience shared with just a few people, with whom I am bonded by the, almost obsessed, desire for living immersed in Beauty and making life a work of art!. Surrounded by a unique exhibition of works from the Florentine ateliers Cornici Maselli , Mosaici Traversari and Paolo Penko , with a glass in one hand and a 'cantuccio' in the other, wearing their best attire, guests bonded with each other, living an extra-ordinary immersive experience, while strengthening this valuable community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505550845-M3XXE4YRBBUWC7KX3STL/Ph+Ludovica+Barone+%288%29-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505628635-5IOJ1T1RPGEC63KUE78M/invitati-28-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698091948893-013X5YTKFEUH2688Z378/evento_generale-88-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698504813460-4BTBWMHRT5JD1LLQA6DC/evento_generale-94-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505759539-ICT7K0P0T59SIMU1P7M6/evento_generale-9-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505759119-07KZY1EGJYQV4LQII4BM/evento_generale-42-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/2b41d861-0607-46db-8a2c-0004bdfa8e8f/location-47-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. An exceptional location, giving guests an unprecedented cultural experience: living an iconic place that has belonged to the most relevant history and tradition of Florence. Palazzo Portinari was the prestigious 15th century Renaissance residence that was the home of Beatrice Portinari, Dante's muse, and the first residence of Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. The Suite offered a private salon, whose original furnishings, from the wooden ceiling, the flooring, the frescoes, to the large windows, brilliantly recovered from Palazzo Portinari, provided the setting for conversations, speeches and the birth of new synergies between connoisseurs and lovers of the beautiful and well-made. Making this space even more precious were masterpieces from three of Florence's best-known artisan ateliers, guardians of the most precious Florentine artistic heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505389341-B35VHQNLR77LRZ9UU5PC/location-30-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505389796-KXWARBW64S4VHXKLH38H/location-41-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505395885-XZAVDFK4UVU1OH508VLB/location-70-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582310284-3ATYO57VWJSFC5HDCZJA/location-12-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505829516-ECD69W992HM2W78194M2/location-9-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505828465-UVYMUTLODWJELXPSYIAH/location-22-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505832249-68PJV24KY4MW8MHP6EMR/location-40-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505835545-Q4ZM0BWMW8LUGETCGSD2/location-44-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ad37c84b-2715-4ddd-9faa-5c061bb230ce/Sponsor-10-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. - CORNICI MASELLI: framing Florence since 1955 The entire Maselli family was there: Gabriele [also awarded the title MAM - Maestro d'Arte e Mestiere - by Fondazione Cologni], Giulia and their sons Tommaso and Giovanni. Under the roof of Bottega Maselli three generations of frame builders carry on an historical artisanal tradition of woodcrafting; their exquisite and unique manual savoir-faire shapes precious frames for Florentine and international masterpieces. They are also the reference point for the restoration of historical frames and paintings of unspeakable value. It takes decades to master the technique and weeks to create one single piece, destined to be timeless. It is for this reason that Gabriele commits himself every day to educate his young sons and teach them not only a technique, but a savoir-fare, a sensitivity, of which they will be guardians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505228404-NB66KJDK0CCI3DPBK1LD/location-33-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505226524-QOIM9LBJHBB94N7CGQT0/location-28-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505231552-3ZSAVSX0WBPEXLLZH9LD/Sponsor-24-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505333992-DC7WHLR0JEN8CLU26I96/location-27-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505297340-T32T8VLUCCRCBMOKF1R2/Sponsor-50-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505297363-9EN0MLIVQVMFNLZUQ5KZ/Sponsor-48-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5ab03ff8-77d9-4f57-931f-9eb6d9cc2d5e/Sponsor-37-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. - MOSAICI TRAVERSARI: one family, three mosaics techniques. The micro-mosaic decorated slippers crafted by the Traversari Family for Dolce & Gabbana were placed at the foot of the bed in the Francesco I Suite and were much loved by the guests! Micro-mosaic is a technique of millimetric precision; the design is created by the interlocking of tiny strips of Murano glass, one by one and by hand; it is no coincidence that this technique is amazingly applied to jewellery, but also to large paintings! The Traversari brothers are the 4th generation of master mosaicists and are the only family to master all three mosaic techniques: the beautiful Florentine 'commesso', executed with irregular portions of natural stones, the classic decorative mosaic and the micromosaic. Some of their masterpieces were framed by the Maselli family themselves, with whom they share a lifelong friendship! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505946295-IHK6MB64KMYC4JOYYLZ3/Sponsor-7-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505949064-CVVVLO6UPAXPGIQITBYB/Sponsor-40-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505936405-ZN25QNGLNYQWM83RMNB6/location-38-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582683535-UGKC6T1QAE4OX60ONPLW/location-37-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582593429-J225T3JVX2VHPH7Z3QYI/location-52-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582536158-K9NTTXSSKMKWPT4OP929/location-39-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5c0b9a29-c212-4bc6-bc8d-9d4d86cf4367/Sponsor-67-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. - PAOLO PENKO: the three symbols of power of Cosimo I de’ Medici. Holding the Grand Ducal crown of Cosimo I de'Medici, an artefact of inestimable historical, artistic and cultural value, was one of those experiences I could never have foreseen or dreamt of.. ..and yet here it is, on display at my event, together with the other two symbols of the power of Cosimo I de' Medici: the sceptre and the Golden cloak chain; masterpieces executed on the basis of complex philological research and thanks to extremely high technical skill, after a meticulous work on the written and iconographic sources. These three pieces of immense historical value had previously only been exhibited in the Palazzo Vecchio, and at Symposium guests were able to appreciate them as they never could otherwise. The three symbols of Cosimo I's power come full circle within the very rooms of Palazzo Portinari, where Cosimo I himself lived five centuries ago! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582192089-6BN89UAZ9F05OXCJBJ4F/location-62-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582207272-JTHW5TZVT44XCZPXLCKE/location-50-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698505120084-HUVH74B06BQ3AXJYJ3HO/location-66-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698584401480-CVTPR7U7J4UJWAG9XJIK/location-18-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582148197-ED2AG79OL6ECCXQ0ZHMP/Sponsor-61-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1698582147819-AXFSRXJGEHGHNWC6L4BW/Sponsor-68-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5c70b761-2a10-4321-ac22-421273f4f95b/Ritratti_Franci-25-min.jpg Stories - Symposium 2023: a celebration of Beauty and Excellence in Florence. - I asked everyone to wear their best dress [Dress Code: Reinessance Reminiscences] , without hesitation, without doubts; I wanted everyone's identity to reveal itself with confidence and tell as many stories as possible!

A sensory journey through “Dolce Vita” with Tonatto & The Excelsior in Rome - The Westin Excelsior Hotel and the Turin-based maison of timeless perfumes Tonatto, created a sublime olfactory gallery that retraces a century of iconic cinema and makes it a whole new experience by making us 'feel' the smell of those scenes in the iconic lobby of the Roman Hotel! The Excelsior in Roma stands as a living testament to the sweet “Dolce Vita” of Via Veneto, having witnessed the golden age of cinema firsthand and provided a charming backdrop for some of the most iconic scenes, like “La Dolce Vita” by Fellini and the most recent “House of Gucci” by Ridley Scott, to name a couple! This opening event was a true homage to the past grandeur, inviting guests to indulge in the sights, scents, tastes, and sounds of a bygone era we are all nostalgic about, ensuring that the spirit of the “Dolce Vita” lives on within the walls of the Excelsior Hotel. The experience is available in the lobby of the Excelsior Hotel from June to September 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5c43f2db-887f-4cea-b6b8-5eb796302af5/EXCELSIOR_FEELWELL_ALLESTIMENTO33.jpg Stories - A sensory journey through “Dolce Vita” with Tonatto & The Excelsior in Rome - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/babd411c-05ea-46be-9b97-f74165c74a7c/claudia-cardinale.jpg Stories - A sensory journey through “Dolce Vita” with Tonatto & The Excelsior in Rome - Over the outstandingly beautiful scene where, on a warm summer evening, the Prince of Salina dances the iconic waltzer with Angelica on the sublime marbles of Palazzo Gangi Valguarnera in Palermo, the audience must have been breathing a very humid air.. ..in which the notes of the delicacies offered at the ball mingled with genuine smells of the Sicilian countryside. Here the tomato plant (not the tomato itself, yet its stem and leaves) is the protagonist of the fragrance that Tonatto dedicated to “the Leopard”. A teleportation to the countryside, where we all keep some precious memories, myself included.. which is why, perhaps, this one of all was my favourite.

You may already know Maria Francesca Broggini: creative, craftswoman and founder of Aembrosia. Maria Francesca is one of the few (and one of the youngest!) Italian craftswomen to practice the precious technique of gold thread embroidery. This kind of embroidery is not made using traditional gold-coloured 'needlework'; in fact, the most precious technique consists in the application of metallic threads, dipped in pure 24kt gold. “I had the good fortune to learn this age-old technique directly from the Royal School of Needlework: embroidery school and atelier sponsored by the Royal household, which crafted most of the precious embroidery for the coronation.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662307945477-PSJYXGZU887MUOF84RMX/Ricamo1.jpg Stories - Focus on King Charles' Coronation exquisite gold embroidery, with Maria Francesca Broggini.

She played one of the key roles at King Charles' coronation, carrying the State Sword in a beautiful petrol-blue dress, complete with matching headband and cape, featuring an exquisite gold embroidered ramage. Yet, above all, every garment and textile accessory featured at the coronation was embroidered in gold: it is indeed an unfailing technique on this occasion and was worn by the King on his cloaks, on his golden Supertunic (inspired by the robes of Byzantine emperors) and matching stole, even down to the glove of the hand that held the sceptre. Gold, in this case, truly has an alchemical significance, representing the divine light that strikes the sovereign, investing him with his power to rule justly. Furthermore, the English King is also head of the Anglican church, which adds a further level of depth to the use of gold embroidery for this ceremony: putting it at the same level of those used on the sacred vestments of the Catholic Church.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d350e0c1-239a-4c6e-a909-676908521209/TELEMMGLPICT000334918993_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqdMTJ71dx-rEkFzWm2wYFZeufzf-us-FfiR7gOv2ucM4.jpeg Stories - Focus on King Charles' Coronation exquisite gold embroidery, with Maria Francesca Broggini. - From a technical point of view.. ..many different techniques have been used to create these designs, which make the best use of the wide expressive range of gold embroidery; in fact, contrary to what one might think, gold embroidery is not just a type of stitch or material used in embroidery, yet it is an entire category of workmanship, encompassing dozens, if not hundreds, of possibilities in all possible variations. It is a veritable arsenal of expression and it is amazing how many different effects and textures can be achieved with just one colour! In Camilla's Robe of Estate, for instance, there are both areas worked with metallic yarns (i.e. cotton threads covered with a metal foil) and canutiles (i.e. long, spiral tubes of metal, hollow on the inside). These two major families of gold embroidery materials involve very different techniques to be laid, yet have in common the prerogative of applying the precious material only to the front of the fabric. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1683811569779-IRLDTSI6006DNQDBXIX4/Royal-School-of-Needlework-Embroidery-Studio_work-in-progress-of-Queens-Cypher-on-HMQC-Robe-of-Estate-1500px.jpg Stories - Focus on King Charles' Coronation exquisite gold embroidery, with Maria Francesca Broggini. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1685718835660-ZGH11TTY9NU4X5QEVV4K/Royal-School-of-Needlework-Embroidery-Studio_-work-in-progress-of-HMQC-Robe-of-Estate-1500px.jpg Stories - Focus on King Charles' Coronation exquisite gold embroidery, with Maria Francesca Broggini. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0593e40c-034e-480c-a484-5dc01293e144/Kate+Middleton Stories - Focus on King Charles' Coronation exquisite gold embroidery, with Maria Francesca Broggini. - “The greatest challenge of gold embroidery (and all the most precious craft techniques) is innovation, which may mean totally changing the subject materials or also the crafting tools, the way of working the material itself; every change brings with it the possibility of failure and therefore having to make many attempts to achieve a good result. For instance, I have experimented with three-dimensional shapes worked with canutille and other techniques of haute couture embroidery, making embroidered leaves, flowers and animals mounted on hair accessories. Imagine my surprise when Kate Middleton and daughter Charlotte's tiaras were made in a very similar way!” https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/premio-galileo-2000 monthly 0.5 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/18ee648a-afa1-44ae-bed7-52184cb3976b/7+premio+blu.jpg Stories - The Galileo 2000 Prize: 7 four-hands crafted masterpieces - A sublime collaboration between two historical Florentine realities could only lead to an equally superb creation of sublime refinement.. Yesterday, Friday 19 May, now in its nineteenth edition, the Premio Galileo 2000 awarded 7 splendid prizes to illustrious personalities in the fields of culture, science, economics, art and music. It is my duty to honour such a masterpiece of Florentine craftsmanship, created by four hands between the master goldsmiths from Atelier Paolo Penko and the looms of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, two pillars of the artistic heritage of the city of Florence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5947425f-576d-451c-892d-e7c3bfb98a0d/5+premi.jpg Stories - The Galileo 2000 Prize: 7 four-hands crafted masterpieces - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/9629fbe5-08e9-41d4-8e2e-13c3506d0f2e/2+gioiello+blu.jpg Stories - The Galileo 2000 Prize: 7 four-hands crafted masterpieces - The yellow gold work is completely handmade according to the ancient Florentine goldsmith tradition. The jewel is embellished with ten brilliant-cut diamonds, four rubies and a pearl with silvery-pink reflections. This exceptional work of goldsmith's art is combined with silk fabrics from the historical archive of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino. The base is satin, the upper part is 'Doria' silk damask, named after the noble Doria family, who were among the Florentine noble families who founded the Antico Setificio Fiorentino in the second half of the 18th century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1684593247319-YAIYHIJMP555HTCVT370/8+premio..jpg Stories - The Galileo 2000 Prize: 7 four-hands crafted masterpieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1684593243212-CEZASM87D581QO1RVKI9/9+melagrana.jpg Stories - The Galileo 2000 Prize: 7 four-hands crafted masterpieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1684593893427-STRGS6B5GTCQGBZY1T57/1+targhetta+loghi.jpg Stories - The Galileo 2000 Prize: 7 four-hands crafted masterpieces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1684593887357-LKRCZJTJSNPQ6U7B06A1/4+gioiello+blu.jpg Stories - The Galileo 2000 Prize: 7 four-hands crafted masterpieces https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/fai-villa-wolkonsky monthly 0.5 2025-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0a24242e-7093-4c09-a7d7-f62b4ca1d5d7/IMG_3559-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. - There are certain places in Rome that seem to have been designed for contemplation. The best way to experience them is in silence, listening and at a slow pace. Only in this way can one enjoy their true Beauty: the rustle of the maritime pines, the voice of the nearby fountains, the call of passing flocks, echoes of voices and sounds bouncing off the marbles; to this, in fine weather, one adds the scent of blossoming buds and freshly cut grass. Villa Wolkonsky is one of the many secret oases dotting Rome; a precious, hidden, treasure chest, usually inaccessible and unknown, which I had the privilege of accessing thanks to the FAI (Italian Environment Fund) during the “FAI spring days”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1682253983425-Q3T3DXDGQKZ4XIFCJZAN/IMG_3543-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1682254109148-ONRQSBULBIT2L56H4RHB/IMG_3747-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1682254381860-51FN47RKHFKWXFG1YF4W/IMG_3538-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1682254377645-AMG4XVZKEHNOJL3CG8T7/IMG_3628-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1682254387473-SLRUF3771C2X78DS833R/IMG_3648-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1682254389033-P4X0V0RINPPT83EAA72T/IMG_3665-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/ca12f660-e586-4693-a6a4-11abd532c0cc/IMG_3578-min.jpg Stories - One spring day with the FAI touring Villa Wolkonsky, the residence of the UK ambassador in Rome. The iconic portrait of Her Majesty Elizabeth II, painted by Pietro Annigoni in 1954, greets visitors at the entrance.. followed by reception halls decorated with precious Flemish tapestries, oil paintings, fine furniture, numerous works of art dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries and precious crystal chandeliers; I was struck by a pair of consoles with a mosaic-decorated surface, with a design reminiscent of Roman art motifs. The main hall leads to the marble terrace, perhaps one of the most sublime areas of the residence. It is easy to imagine the ambassador's family spending quiet moments in this corner, enjoying the view of the nearby San Giovanni Basilica and the overall view of the park, accessed by two large marble staircases. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1682254563908-PIE00V3KCWUJEAO3IBO3/IMG_3570-min.jpg Stories -

Diary from a Roman slow-lifestyle pop-up in company of Serena de Fiore and Anna B. - Rome, a stone's throw from Villa Borghese.. ..on a January afternoon kissed by a warm winter sun, I walked along the Villa Ada boundary wall until the beautiful Parioli neighborhood, where I reached Serena de Fiore's slow fashion atelier. That afternoon, an intimate Tea Time had been set up at the atelier, a mix between a pop-up and a 'salon' meeting among friends and fans of well-made with love and intention; between a pastry and a chat, the friends and entrepreneurs Serena de Fiore and Anna B. introduced us about their lines; two different but complementary fields, fashion and skincare, yet linked, both by the inescapable personal history of two cultured and refined businesswomen and, above all, by the hand-crafted nature and a careful and meticulous research for those details and essential elements that make the real difference when it comes to timeless quality and support for the short-chain and micro-crafts, that best represent our Made In Italy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/0c6ad350-9b08-415e-9baf-94a459125a99/IMG_2464-min.jpg Stories - Diary from a Roman slow-lifestyle pop-up in company of Serena de Fiore and Anna B. The very name that Serena has chosen to represent her reality says it all: 'slow', which, when added to another term, puts its meaning into a well defined context and gives it a frame of significance. Hers is a fashion that evokes the style and elegance of the “once-upon-a-time” ateliers, while giving immense attention to the chain of production in all its layers; an anti-fast fashion made strictly by hand and in small limited editions, cared for down to the smallest detail by craftsmen's hands on simple and timeless lines, with excellent wearability and always respecting environmental policies. Serena is a multifaceted woman whose stylistic and creative imprint has been strongly influenced by the Rome-Paris dichotomy; 15 years of living in the French capital are evident in her chic et charmante allure of suits, jackets, trousers, jumpers, shirts and blouses from a varied, eclectic and multifaceted collection, in which printed and coloured fabrics dialogue with the textures of fine yarns.

An unexpected extra pampering was offered to attendants by AnnaB.: a facial massage using the Gua Sha stone (made of jade, quartz and obsidian), an extraordinary self-care ritual, based on the principles of Chinese medicine, to stimulate the lymphatic system and blood circulation. Well, I'd say that Anna's acquaintance couldn't have started any better! After indulging in this 15-minute pampering (in which I felt like I had come and gone from Nirvana), Anna told me how she personally checks every producer, from the nearest (km 0) to the farthest. Brazilian butters, Tonka beans (are harvested only once a year and are dried for 12 months!), Ylang Ylang, to Tuscan sea buckthorn, all strictly natural ingredients, carefully selected and, above all, effective!

Her majestic portrait greets visitors at the entrance to the Boncompagni Ludovisi Museum in Rome, once home for her and his beloved Prince Andrea B.Ludovisi, a stone's throw from Villa Borghese. A beautiful, sophisticated and intellectual woman. Her portrait reveals taste in dress, a refined eye for Beauty, bare shoulders that wink at a whispered sensuality. One of the many female figures of the past who has enabled us today to add a piece to our cultural development as a society, hers a further invitation to rediscover our roots, steeped in Beauty. It was she, by her testamentary will, who donated her home to the State to be maintained and used 'exclusively for artistic and cultural purposes of public utility'; a foresight for which we must all be grateful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678192565130-47SS4KHQDJWBSDB4UX1U/IMG_2290-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678192563301-LOHHNSEIPKZ8CMYAYDSW/IMG_2196-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678192805085-NGSDEAVE9U4OCRVIZGN1/IMG_2013-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678192801625-HKBQYJZ67SSW28ZJ8DW7/IMG_2264-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1f86c676-67d4-4332-93da-e3d147a32e16/IMG_2024-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. To the question "can anyone tell me what kind of tree this is?".. from Marco, a FAI volunteer masqueraded as Prince Charming, a child dressed as Harry Potter replied without hesitation "it's a pomegranate!", leaving adults open-mouthed, myself included! As 'photographs' to immortalize what used to be a bucolic garden, the frescoes and wallpapers of the main halls, bearing figures of marble statues, tall hedges, fruit trees, labyrinthine avenues, rose bushes and depictions of birds that had actually inhabited those branches, whose song awakened the inhabitants at sunrise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678193296558-MPHNY3P1TX47J20ODPGY/IMG_2126-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678193296681-61XOCM19E4BDAUXYMN6Z/IMG_2065-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/32ad2297-3d15-4516-9eba-5a80ee8e667e/IMG_2117-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. - Alternating with the clothes are framed original sketches and black and white photographs of female icons of Italian fashion in the last century. An itinerary that through games of more or less constrictive lines, the use of color and decoration, recounts the evolution of the female social condition over time, a real treasure chest of curiosities for the children, to whom all this was told with a playful and interactive cut, that amused even us adults! Ps: Notice in the gallery below how two of these models are kept in the beautiful marble frame of the villa's original 'bathroom', in perfect Deco style! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678193723003-1F0UZEMM0PD7SFUIRB6K/IMG_2008-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678193723409-F59DWELIWO88VBLW6HYY/IMG_2092-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678193731484-26JPTHW8Z5MGIO0CS4C5/IMG_2104-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678193730950-WHOJNAKOVG1V5YLPW4YZ/IMG_2115-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678194077734-9S4J72Q40XLYOD6BT5GJ/IMG_2002-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678194078465-8BNKNLSRCOJ0DVUVN2ZP/IMG_2077-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678194084773-H58XLFQUH29Q5A8Q8VRR/IMG_2127-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678194087343-MKOSSEWV11J3CJ8VYSWX/IMG_2197-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3bc25511-63d3-47a7-9a5b-3b6792fa23d4/IMG_2008-min.jpg Stories - A day in Rome with the FAI, living the dream of a farsighted Princess of our past. Memory is a universal cultural heritage, so it is important to pierce the veil of forgetfulness in order to remember and celebrate our roots, which (too) often fall into oblivion, through distraction or, perhaps, in the name of modernity. Special thanks to FAI and its Rome delegation for involving me in this day of re-discovery! It’s sweet to always have something new to learn about your own city! And thanks to the wonderful Princess Blanceflor Boncompagni Ludovisi, who with her foresight and intellect, by donating her house 'exclusively for artistic and cultural purposes of public utility', allowed us all to celebrate and rediscover ourselves through the extra-ordinary lens of Beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1678195169948-O29T1XM57ILVGETF2IES/IMG_1977-min.jpg Stories -

“To the most beautiful”. Not your usual Valentine’s story. - Not all love stories are romantic and have a 'happily ever after' happy ending; some loves are destructive. I am fond that you all know the story of the Trojan War, caused by an impossible love, the one between Paride, Prince of Troy, and Elena, wife of Menelaus, King of Sparta. Yet, do you know, according to the myth, what actually caused this obsessed love to such an extent that war broke out? I have the pleasure to share this story with you through the latest precious creation by Federica Tessari, a young and outstanding Florentine artisan, steeped in the art and culture that her city has to offer. 'Alla più bella' [To the most beautiful] is the title of her latest, brilliant, wax creation, named after one of the most famous stories of Greek mythology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/437d671f-da86-4f04-9263-c3fd7f256b02/_MG_4233-Modifica.jpg Stories - “To the most beautiful”. Not your usual Valentine’s story. Her curious approach and love for culture led her to a progressive rediscovery of her expressive abilities, until the realization of her own quest for harmony, style and Beauty through her precious candle collections. Her obsession for the most meticulous research took the shape of the most precious materials, such as the handmade Montelupo ceramics and the finest glass; a path of continuous artistic and creative improvement, in which no detail is too small to tell a story. Federica Tessari has chosen the candle as a narrative medium involving all the senses to share her art as she perceives it, closely linked to childhood memories and roots. “Yet a single scent, already heard or breathed long ago, may once again, both in the present and the past, be real without being present, ideal without being abstract, as soon as the permanent and habitually hidden essence of things is liberated, and our true self […] is re-awoken and re-animated when it receives the heavenly food that is brought to it.” M. Proust, “Time Regained” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/5842af99-a7f5-4726-8607-260aa2aecf4b/Alessandro-Rosi-The-judgement-of-Paris.jpg Stories - “To the most beautiful”. Not your usual Valentine’s story. - To the most beautiful.. This was the inscription engraved on the golden apple, better known as the 'apple of discord', thrown by Eris, goddess of discord, on the table at the wedding banquet of Peleus and Thetis. This was enough to trigger a furious quarrel among the present goddesses: who was the most beautiful among them? They all wanted to be 'the most beautiful', in particular Aphrodite, goddess of love, Athena, goddess of wisdom, and Hera, wife of Zeus and goddess of fidelity. Zeus, though forced to intervene, pulled out of it, he certainly had no desire to take responsibility for such a decision! It was Paride, mortal future Prince of Troy, known as a just man, who was entrusted with the impossible task. [Painting: “The choice of Paride” by Alessandro Rosi, 1627–1697] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/3c014c6d-4790-4f60-9b73-7c088578bc05/pomo-della-discordia-foto-1-720x450.jpg Stories - “To the most beautiful”.

This is what I was told while touring the facilities where Royal Copenhagen’s most precious porcelain (literally) blossoms: Flora Danica. Susi is responsible for hand-painting, in perfect symmetry with the central logo, the Latin names of the botanical species on the back of each piece, down to the smallest coffee cup! The hand-painted species are collected in precious volumes dating back to the 1700s, which still represent the source of inspiration for the line's masterpieces. It was a privilege to leaf through their pages, which still fulfill their role after so many years! Katrine, the brand's pr manager, took them as carefully as they were made of gold leaf, from well-guarded shelves; her hands covered in black velvet gloves. The artisans are required to paint the different species on the porcelain in dimensions faithful to the original, meticulously following the shape and color specifications, yet the variations demonstrate how a painter uses creative freedom to make unique designs.. thus, if you order a Flora Danica piece you can never know exactly how the motif will look! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608104833-MJJ2GZ353LOP98VWLBTU/IMG_9429.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607238714-QXMVBSGEL178H4544GL0/IMG_9434zoom.jpg Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607261354-361EOZRTRI8MS36ME2S4/IMG_9437.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607277288-D4LK0AYGKTRY0R09VAHI/IMG_9456.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608453621-046XPSDZ7J5I3LW99WGR/IMG_9447.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608454568-V8HBYCW98AAJZHDUC5KQ/IMG_9468.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1e2be70b-ba28-411d-8b28-1bbc67545a33/IMG_9464.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. - Hold an item of Flora Danica porcelain and you hold a witness of Danish heritage in your hand.. The story of Flora Danica begins in the Age of Enlightenment. In a time where humans strive for rational knowledge of nature; King Frederik the 5th of Denmark commands that all the plants in the entire kingdom shall be put in a reference encyclopedia, so that they can be studied. Within 122 years the collection grew into an impressive collection of 3240 motifs of flowers and plants organized in 51 books. Flora Danica is unbreakably linked to the Danish Royal Family, used not only in grand celebrations, but also as gifts for royal wedding and diplomatic reconciliation! More than 225 years have passed since the first motifs were painted on porcelain. Today the original Flora Danica is one of the most important Danish cultural treasures; both seen as an ever relevant tribute to the nature of Denmark and the most exquisite example of Danish design and craftsmanship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608246870-Y1I22X31LP0JSOYMLBR0/IMG_9440.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608235922-261Y5IQ8VGHC3YUS2BYA/IMG_9442.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608282770-KSO3URE5AEK0Y1ZEWHTT/IMG_9445.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608286093-Z06BGVRS0XG0JSDAC37P/IMG_9448.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607595450-4VVHC3DU5GVT93GBRXLF/IMG_9467.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607545983-EQUZIBSBJ2NWJ8VOM9D7/IMG_9439.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607579409-DT05LPAVIYTQWYR8PSH0/IMG_9462.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607611455-PFRA7BJ8K4VE5KRE453C/IMG_9470.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675607526386-Z8GOZ44XN7Q33TC2WWBD/IMG_9451.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608573903-QFJO78QXM5YJ42NTJD7B/IMG_9427.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608598547-NGVPH82BYX59SIQ8WZW1/IMG_9428.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608613216-EPAFHWCKPAVW29BWC464/IMG_9435.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608659444-Q8NQ6ZS9EVGIN1243MOE/IMG_9472.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608676657-4B4W04YD2PXMGNPO1Z76/IMG_9474.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608722172-SPGT653B7L7NLNGIP27D/IMG_9475.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608727572-TO3C14KUE02PE1ENPX4J/IMG_9477.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675608858392-GTOWW6TY24857PA7SS8Q/IMG_9469.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/850cbfb8-79fe-480a-b57d-4653686f8071/IMG_9457.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/46449f91-7b57-41ee-93f2-6a1d4e9383f7/IMG_20221206_125853.jpg Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. - One last treasure.. the Princess and the Pea. The Princess and the Pea takes up to 8 months to make and only a few from the Flora Danica team know how. Katrine was so concentrated on holding this absolute masterpiece that she could hardly speak! She showed it to me holding it with the same velvet gloves she used to leaf through encyclopedic volumes from the 1700s. The Princess and the pea figurine epitomizes the exclusive craftsmanship of Royal Copenhagen. It is the most prestigious overglaze figurine to be crafted and painted by the Flora Danica department. The two-part bonbonnière-style piece depicts a princess as beautiful and fragile as the fine porcelain from which she is made. Approximately 80 different colors on shining glaze; thousands of carefully placed brushstrokes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/b3666719-5b60-42fa-b8c3-35c557dc02fe/IMG_9466.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. - I don't remember how old I was.. ..when I started collecting memories of Royal Copenhagen, mostly bonded to Christmas in the family; in fact every Christmas it was almost a ritual to give my grandmother the Royal Copenhagen collectible “Christmas Plate” of the season as a gift, which was joyfully added to the family's extensive collection. All lined up on the wall, they didn't look good at all on the yellow ochre wall, but I guess it was in vogue in the 70s! 100 (maybe 150!) I never knew the exact number, yet it is a precious memory I carry in my heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675609521617-UKWIWBJEJESQZM32ZBEE/IMG_9458.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1675609528861-5C3Z8F95XNHJ9SBHDWZ2/IMG_9471.JPG Stories - A unique experience behind-the-scenes of Flora Danica, a witness of Danish heritage since 1700. https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/christmas-tables-royal-cph-2022 monthly 0.5 2023-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/303f81f9-ee0d-4ed0-b439-bb54b768c56b/IMG_9483.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. - I have always observed the Royal Copenhagen flagship store from afar.. …in magazines or through a screen. As long as I can remember, I have known the famous Royal Copenhagen, excellence porcelain maison, since my family used to gift one of their collectible Christmas plates to my grandmother, who proudly displayed them on the dining room wall, one next to the other. This is why the flagship store, at nr. 6 on Copenhagen's central Amagertorv square, was one of my first destinations since setting foot in Copenhagen in this 2022. For 59 years now, Royal Copenhagen's sumptuous flagship store has hosted a Christmas exhibition that attracts visionary visitors and enthusiasts from all over the world. This 59th edition was the first I saw with my own eyes, accompanied through a delightful private tour by the kindest Katrine Guldager to see each 'Christmas Table' up close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672833986091-05O83Y4TBYT7XFY2G6OI/IMG_9400.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. - CHRISTMAS IN VENICE By Bente Scavenius Not the first table one notices when entering the exhibition, but it is not difficult for you to imagine that this table is among those that have struck familiar chords with me. An enveloping warmth, in the comfort of our set table, to the cozy glow of candle lights from bronze candle holders, the same brocaded tablecloth, set with the vintage collection Saxon Flower from Royal Copenhagen. Some elements typical of southern Italy made me smile, like the small characters of the Neapolitan nativity scene, or the Sicilian marzipan fruit baskets, juxtaposed with the most precious Murano glasses and cups of fruit jam. All around are plays of light and shadow, juxtapositions of papier-mâché and velvets, warm tones inspired by classic Venetian palaces. I did not know Bente Christina Brønnum Scavenius; a fascinating, beautiful woman who is clearly able to navigate the deepest meanderings of beauty. It is no coincidence that she is an art historian, art critic and writer of numerous books. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672835672361-7IBY6927ZN00JBF3RMK1/bente-scavenius---50-504.jpg Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672835668958-X02FUB8OUW6BWNITQJJS/IMG_9403.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672835690748-9VBYS5J7AKWXPCY4NIUJ/IMG_9406.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672835668072-3AWZYFTQ47CLEKP87CNL/IMG_9404.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/056a0229-e15b-4c4f-a069-a6df077387b5/IMG_9390.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. - A HEDONISTIC XMAS CABIN By Anja Vang Kragh & Mia Sstensgaard Like some Bernini statues, it is necessary to walk around this table, in motion, and observe it from different perspectives, before approaching it for a closer look at the details. A small stage, enclosing a Christmas table as it changes throughout the day. So many moments compacted into a single scenario: relaxation, celebration, chatting, dinner, the joy of feasting, small slow rituals that follow one another.. champagne, wine, espresso, liqueurs, tea glasses.. telling the story of time passing, slowly. There are only three guests, who are they? Every corner of the table can be interpreted as an 'act' of the same show. All wrapped in Vang Stensgaard textile panels in a soft and delicate color palette, hung from more than 14 meters of customized curtain rails. The fabrics give the illusion of a proscenium, a reference to the artists' shared love of the stage. A precious service from the Flora collection, which Anja herself designed for Royal CPH decorates the tablecloth. The duo Vang Stensgaard formed in 2018 based on a desire to create their own textile universe inspired by their work in theater and film. Together they have created a world of beautiful interior textiles. Both Anja and Mia have been appointed knights of the Order of Dannebrog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672836374563-HOCWDVK3MIAPKQWG8C9V/IMG_9388.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672836434955-XCQVUFISNK95N331A5Q9/IMG_9389.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672836422821-G9EJXD1SA13S8JACI4M6/IMG_9386.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672836453675-QXYDBQX74I9WV1IKA155/IMG_9391.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/7cc15e3e-46d2-4a7f-b9a4-d6fc4175c279/IMG_9413.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. - CHRISTMAS IN THE WILDERNESS By Adam Price Katrine told me about this table with particular emphasis, precisely because she too has a family connection to Greenland and its traditions, as did Adam Price, who wanted to transform his table into a tent set up in Greenland's wilderness; here you can hear the wind gusting through the wild nature outside while the fire crackles and typical chants play. A table set up with heritage elements (where a plate of butter, ready to spread on warm bread cannot miss!); a Blue Fluted Plain porcelain collection, belonging to Adam's grandmother, sculptures from the animal collection, juxtaposed with small Greenlandic elements, such as the anthropomorphic statues or the delightful napkin rings! I spent some time looking at them... while Katrine told me that the technique of knitting with beads is typical of the Greenlandic craft tradition. I found them an exquisite detail! Adam Price is a screen-writer, TV host and restaurateur. Head writer of the critically acclaimed Danish drama series ‘Borgen’ and co-owner and founder of the production company Sam Productions. Co-host of 14 seasons of the show ‘Dining with Price’ along with his brother James, with whom he also owns five restaurants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837067446-5AK9NVGI0CCEIR7TGERF/adam-price_50-50_adam.jpg Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837064572-7MP6XAUG1MXBH4BPMYJT/IMG_9415.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837062596-RAKJBPEUO1505SR8TIS2/IMG_9416.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837158946-BT4D7IMGLKZXYOV6NLP0/IMG_9422.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/d4c041c0-aa35-421a-b303-414d7542006c/IMG_9410.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. - MY CHRISTMAS LUNCH DREAM By Frederikke Legaard Now, this was not the table I was expecting to find. It was an absolutely delightful and ingenious break from tradition; in particular, the ability to fuse so fluidly a whole series of seemingly distant elements, united by a creativity without barriers, that of table setter and multi-artist Frederikke. An intimate, eclectic, festive and cozy ambience, bringing together Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics. A table setting in miniature, where Danish porcelain winks at typical Japanese design. Small elements and curiosities to discover, such as the small chopstick holder in the shape of a tiny fish (which lit up my eyes!), made by the artist herself. I had the exclusive chance to pass the barrier and walk around the table to observe all the tiny details to the fullest! Multi artist, cookbook author and winner of 'The Great Danish Bake Off' 2019. Published the cookbook 'Kogekunst' in 2021 featuring dishes that were all created, illustrated and photographed by Frederikke herself during Covid-19. She creates art in her atelier in Nørrebro. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837547134-MMBYKPGE9P4ZK5DWBIZT/frederikke-legaard---50-50_frederikke.jpg Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837544573-CANUY2SSTHU3FGMPLECH/IMG_9409.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837704136-XFO81ZASWC2L3Y6ZTS2D/IMG_9412.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672837544813-JAGJM9LYG1Q6MSP3CFBV/IMG_9411.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672838018289-YXAU6DFGUD45VX5VR007/IMG_9393.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. - A PERFECTLY IMPERFECT CHRISTMAS By Søren Le Schmidt The fashion designer Søren Le Schmidt has made ‘Christmas stress’ the theme of his table. In Søren’s hectic schedule with wife Nikoline and their one-and-a-half-year-old twins, Christmas stress is inevitable, but to him it can also be magical. It is part of the transformation that happens when peace finally settles in on December 24th and everything turns out well after all. A transformation from Christmas stress to Christmas bliss, featuring a unique aesthetic. On one side everything is white and chaotic. Glass, cutlery and furniture is scattered across the room and Royal Copenhagen’s minimalistic and graphic White Facet collection lies shattered on the table. On the wall a poetic art film plays, underpinning the stress that leads up to Christmas Eve. The other side of the room displays Christmas as Søren experiences it from December 24th. Calm and full of “hygge” and togetherness. The centerpiece is small Royal Copenhagen UNIKA sculptures by Steen Lykke Madsen. I found it hilarious that the Christmas trees in both rooms hang from the ceiling, out of children’s reach, exactly as it will in Søren and Nikoline’s own home! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672838020905-4TSQYVW56H8X4GWQTEET/soren-le-schmidt---50-50_sren.jpg Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672838017068-K6SBTGM76PJR060FDYOK/IMG_9392.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672838127695-8QT38AK7TTO2FZFJMR6F/IMG_9394.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1672838045594-JKQL1HIDNDMTOWDUBNXO/IMG_9396.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/96f34022-9df8-497b-9eab-a0afdab2d418/IMG_9399.JPG Stories - “Enchanted Christmas” tables at the Royal Copenhagen flagship store. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/artigianatoepalazzo-2022 monthly 0.5 2023-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666472343057-UAKKSK9JJ4V81U64QTLU/IMG_6121.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 - Artigianato & Palazzo.. This is the place and the moment when you find yourself talking about alchemy, art, music and Beauty with people whose names you do not even know; it is that moment when, under that strong September Tuscan sun, it seems that the most beautiful stories you’ve ever read come to life; it is that moment when, crossing the threshold of Palazzo Corsini, you leave any thought behind, because so much Beauty deserves all the space our eyes and our soul have to offer. Diaries of three days, enclosed within the bucolic gardens of Palazzo Corsini, among whose Renaissance labyrinths and rose gardens more than 90 witnesses of the highest craft traditions, including emerging generations, displayed their unique savoir faire. An unprecedented series of installations, workshops and events provided an opportunity to reflect on the role and of the craftsman in contemporary society, of the value of the handmade and the important heritage of knowledge and techniques handed down by true master craftsmen. The 2022 edition of Artigianato e Palazzo exceeded all expectations: it found an audience hungry for Beauty, us included. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666295917588-IH8FQE1X8G14DOU0UBPM/28-edizione-Paolo-Fiumi-2048x616.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666965299906-I5V1RI569D071T0R7SVF/IMG_6044.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 was set up in the Ballroom of Palazzo Corsini, is dedicated to the vegetable leather tanning in Tuscany. Here I met one of the most experienced craftsmen of the group, a man who’s life has been dedicated to the constant learning and perfectioning of this savoir-faire. With the biggest smile on his face, he explained that it is a process that requires patience and experience, the help of technology while respecting tradition. The result is a natural leather that never goes out of fashion, dedicated to those who seek high quality and a style that becomes personalized over time. A man of extraordinary competence, who has not forgotten, however, the playful side of his craft, here we are both particularly excited about this little work of art of his: a miniature car, the leather construction of which is as complex as you can imagine! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666962357885-FGT80PTSRISETGJMT621/IMG_6037-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666962345662-SVZM20G32FY5PCIU0CIJ/IMG_6017-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666962345625-DEWBGJIID0K0PHRHOWWP/IMG_6021-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666962356148-E064LLJ3YOUZVE5POVG8/IMG_6030-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666472060114-Q58GNTV7DHA3YBFQ03X0/IMG_5248.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 ..where the stands of those who, more than people, are true Florentine institutions were located. Duccio Mazzanti is one of them. “Duccio” I can’t think of a more Florentine name.. It is difficult to remain serious when Duccio is around! The man behind whatever feather you might see on the haute-couture runways of worldwide Fashion Weeks. In 1935 his grandmother, Natalina Mazzanti, began her craft by transforming feathers and silk flowers into precious ornaments for hats and dresses. In 1997, Duccio gave the company a new look, focusing production on high fashion. For Duccio, feathers are an absolutely magical and fascinating element, an expression of lightness, softness, feminine sensuality. As he adorned my wrists with two extraordinary powder-pink feather inserts, he did not fail to tell me the most hilarious stories, interspersing them with greetings to the passersby and solemn reveries to his neighbors, with whom he has known for a lifetime. One thing struck me about this man: his simplicity, helpfulness and modesty, despite the fact that he is, without mincing words, one of the masters of contemporary Made in Italy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666909697565-R157TRSHLE2ECCCLQHLK/IMG_5152.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666909730933-1BP0D7HWP5E5E1V8QTWV/IMG_5252.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666909787330-B17DLHQ6SN7BL8FOLSNT/IMG_5257.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666910923228-E92C6302XNPJH4MBGH4L/IMG_4894-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666962580523-V62QJYJYGYTQD5M0VPKL/20220917134758_IMG_5183.JPG Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 the Penko Family: Paolo Penko, the wife Beatrice and sons Alessandro and Riccardo. The Penko family's goldsmith work does not go unnoticed: silver and golden masterpieces take shape in the family’s two workshops, located in the historic center of Florence. These the family creates unique jewelry according to the ancient techniques of the centuries-old Florentine goldsmith tradition, following classic iconographies, some of which are extrapolated directly from the Medicean archives. Among the timeless pieces on display in the Limonaia of Palazzo Corsini, my attention immediately fell on the parure bearing one of the symbols I am most fond of, the classic Florentine lily: an iconography that incorporates a thousand and one stories of culture, art, history and beauty related to the city of Florence and the Medici family. With great pleasure I was able to wear it while Alessandro told me about the behind-the-scenes of some of the masterpieces on display, including the precious so-called "Florentine" diamond.

His work was a fascinating surprise, the result of an exquisite and harmonious melting-pot of the two cultures that identify Takafumi: the Japanese and the Italian, two traditions in which craftsmanship plays an essential role. It is no coincidence that in Japan they call artisans "living treasures." Takafumi performed a meticulous technique of wooden inlay for decorative purposes. Watching his gentle gestures working with wood was mesmerizing. Millimeter layers of differently colored natural woods, lightly burnished by a hot sand in which they were dipped (seconds counted!), gave shape to floral designs, gentle lines or reproductions of typical Florentine landscapes. Among the works that most struck me were the inlays on wooden supports, particularly the shoe lasts typically used by shoemakers, true miniature masterpieces with a charming story to tell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666908051334-MAKQVAAP73CGKDO00XC1/IMG_6163.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666908129536-9L9R1I3802N5DBGM8DZ0/IMG_6176.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666908126525-EI4JBXL4SXM5QGYFNYCF/IMG_6181.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666908168754-EIE91PAJYSAMVDJKC1BA/IMG_6194.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666475316841-OIX0RV7UJIDL5LR41JPV/IMG_5641.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 In the middle of the garden, among the labyrinths of Palazzo Corsini, was the Giratine exhibition stand. It was easily recognizable by the colors and patterns of the textiles that sprouted in the green of the garden. A family of wonderful women with contagious sweetness and a charming smile! It is the result of the ideas of three generations: from the 1950s to today, through the eyes of a grandmother, her daughter and her granddaughter, "Giratine" bags are made by six hands using entirely artisanal methods. Classic style, refined fabrics and meticulous attention to detail. Every single step of the production process is carried out using artisanal methods, limiting waste to a minimum. As their grandmother used to say: “in the kitchen, you don't throw anything away!” - so they do when cutting fabric. The sweetest detail lies in their name: "Giratine" is the Tuscan name for a "slow and pleasant walks" through the city streets or in nature, always in full presence and awareness, enjoying the Beauty of stillness.. the favorite activity of us Italians! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666910671681-UFALAEYZTKBRRTX60XKO/IMG_5631-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666910669454-66OKIBOJHEU390NV488T/IMG_5653-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666910698822-7X31ITYDC7RVB20GLYOZ/IMG_5661-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666910698442-ZXSLZTO4RTELRN5TSKCB/IMG_5665-min.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666964273945-9IH9WMBWDK2DPUPZM99V/IMG_5582.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 I had the opportunity to meet the Traversari brothers and give a close look to their work while listening to their beautiful family story. A family of artisans that has its roots in the late 19th century and proudly stands out precisely for this: the inclusion of three mosaic techniques: Florentine "commesso" mosaic, decorative mosaic and micromosaic. I was particularly struck by the micro mosaic technique, which I had never seen before. It is fine work, starting from the modeling of the Murano glass slats, to the cutting and composition of the design in its frame. The Florentine "commesso", on the other hand, is a technique that requires larger cuts and is used for the creation of larger pieces of art by working with hard stones. I found the work of micromosaic to be exquisite, as it is a workmanship that allows this sublime art to be easily incorporated within our everyday realities. I would be pleased to visit their atelier in Florence to show you some pieces more closely and bring you along for a private storytelling experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1667667474681-8LH05KIZ9Q7LBEHDHKRT/IMG_5476.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666909206007-1HBM5DKOI03LQZZAAIA2/IMG_5437.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666909296152-7TWW9LHK6S7SM68KDO2N/IMG_5455.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666909297884-QNWPZ6SOHJW32IY0JQKW/IMG_5484.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1666477922149-E7ZBDVC5KJ11BZHEF2CM/IMG_6137.jpg Stories - Diaries from three days in Florence for the XXVIII edition of Artigianato & Palazzo, 2022 The Renaissance gardens of Palazzo Corsini were transformed into an exhibition square among the labyrinths of hedges and rose bushes.

When the first ray of sun peeked through the clouds, the gravel and lawn area had become rather swampy and wet shoes were guaranteed. In short, it was one of those 'jeans' days, waterproof boots and close-cropped hair (to prevent the humidity from turning them bushy!), where the main matter was to be comfortable and well-protected. A seemingly simple look that is transformed when paired with catchy and one-of-a-kind handcrafted pieces.

Therefore, since we all share the mission to propose craftsmanship as an ethical model of cultural sustainability, it is my pleasure today to tell you a story of a contemporary sample of luxury craftsmanship, inspired by one of the most precious embroidery techniques of the past. If we look at Queen Elizabeth's coronation mantle, or the papal robes, or the cloaks of the processional statues of saints, we will notice precious, shimmering embroidery made of pure gold thread. This is perhaps the most precious hand-embroidery technique, which over the millennia has been used to enhance power and authority, especially in the baroque period. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662307945477-PSJYXGZU887MUOF84RMX/Ricamo1.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery.

A young woman who takes distance from the stereotype of the craftsman closed in his dark workshop, whose technique is destined to disappear with him; she is a living proof that artistic craftsmanship does not belong to the past and that love for art, heritage, culture, passion and commitment are not features of a disappeared old school approach; she is an example that applied fine art is no longer found only locked away in museums, but can be implemented in our daily lives, if we are able to appreciate it and take care of it over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306227054-W8J1YKH01SXNLDUB1XBG/%C2%A9ph.Matteo+Rossi+for+M.F.Broggini-obj8+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306291125-XBJJTYDIRZYTRX3FX7L9/%C2%A9ph.Silvia+Marabese2+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306285644-AFZNHL61FXKPMHAO4UZY/%C2%A9ph.Matteo+Rossi+for+M.F.Broggini-obj12+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306291893-H7Y0UUONW4W6TD0LGSPZ/%C2%A9ph.Silvia+Marabese3+copia.JPG Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306285637-3CNS1NBL9BZORF0F7MIF/%C2%A9ph.Matteo+Rossi+for+M.F.Broggini-obj13+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306293436-H3VKAOH0VWPG635AL5E0/%C2%A9ph.Silvia+Marabese4+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306610070-YPF5JS2XLELELB9WV8IY/%C2%A9ph.Matteo+Rossi+for+M.F.Broggini-obj11+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306772541-MOQGGAHGG2JH09MLIDHS/%C2%A9ph.Matteo+Rossi+for+M.F.Broggini-obj9+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. - Aembrosia takes its name from a drink from Greek mythology, the ambrosia, adding an e to evoke the embroidery technique. It is said that ambrosia was a very rare drink, golden in color, capable of making man immortal, elevating him to the level of the gods. A courageous choice, not without its obstacles and the countless challenges faced by contemporary artisans in a world that tends to reward speed, ephemerality and replaceability. It is his mission, that all artisans share and supporters (like me myself), to re-educate the public to rediscover that sense of depth that gives value to things. That sense of Beauty that comes from research and daily commitment. That value given to time and to things made slowly and consciously, destined to last forever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1662306991448-8HRU3UMA088YJE5ZIOCM/%C2%A9ph.Silvia+Marabese4+copia.jpg Stories - Aembrosia & the (almost) disappeared art of gold thread embroidery. - Maria Francesca is committed to teaching and raising awareness about the rare art of gold thread embroidery, through.. - Atelier visits on request, with presentation and demonstration of the technique. - Group and individual lessons through in-atelier workshops For more info, contact CLICK HERE www.aembrosia.com https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/giornata-delle-api-2022 monthly 0.5 2022-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1621363400078-TV28A3MHMZUQTZQWEO2Q/prova+1.jpg Stories - The 4 “slow” bee-products to introduce in your daily routine; with Melicera for the World Bee Day 2022. - World Bee Day 2022 Plinius the Elder, author of the renowned Naturalis Historia, called the bees the "genitis hominis causa" (“created especially for man").

The name of Gabriele Maselli is just as known as the street in which his father, Paolo, founded the bottega in 1955: just name "Il Maselli" and any Florentine would start daydreaming and telling about how his/her family keeps one of Maselli’s wooden frames in their livingroom. They ask me if I know that Maselli’s wooden frames adorn the artistic masterpieces of the Duomo of Florence and I reply that I know it very well, because it was Gabriele Maselli himself who told me about it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647090772814-0JAOFLM0DF721MLF4SUH/DSC_5460-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 - Gabriele is an exquisite, friendly and humble man. He did not hesitate to open the doors of his laboratory to me and take me behind the scenes of his historical work.

I honestly didn't think there were so many different types of chisels and work tools, each with its own specific function. Observing the manufacturing process, among the unfinished wood samples, the chisels, the brushes, the glues, the colors, the scattered drawings, that is the real privilege.. that opens the eyes and the heart! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647090939919-L8SBWUAZ7NWNWK1UI95Q/DSC_5493-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647090937231-5QV7S4NTQW5Q6BNEQI8Y/DSC_5464-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647091056361-DTBFDDNI6J6CBJTJFLNI/DSC_5454-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647100782801-G01CZDUJGR9R5840P2KD/Screenshot_20220312_161859.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 I admit that watching two young boys working with such passion to follow in the footsteps of their father and grandfather warmed my heart. It is very essential for my generation (Tommaso is just a little younger than me) and those who will follow not to forget our roots, our heritage and constantly do our best to adapt it to the contemporary scenario. Being born and raised surrounded by so much Beauty is a privilege, because it opens up levels of sensitivity and empathy that not everyone has the opportunity to have access to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647094175227-RIKIOX7BX9YYLJVRPMLX/DSC_5439-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647094175036-0EFY3HG5RK8425IMYO4T/DSC_5532-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647094282748-C7OYN1Q4V1TQ2PNFT9PC/DSC_5440-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647094283219-OM025EFI4UQWWWQ736M1/DSC_5468-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647094298278-TTNXILBKXA98VD34Q10N/DSC_5498-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647101433512-V69ST6ZZNSFDV5QBTG2I/Screenshot_20220312_170435_com.huawei.photos.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647094293486-PNNE1TRFTI8MNOBX7AVN/DSC_5518-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647101433974-52A7A0BR1GMPBG4W3GVX/Screenshot_20220312_170539_com.huawei.himovie.overseas_edit_14417140262903.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647101433115-SLDT56HC0A3XFLMBGIZL/Screenshot_20220312_170528_com.huawei.himovie.overseas.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1647102418730-R4OD73NBJ7SMJI3XESHH/DSC_5538-min.jpg Stories - “Il Maselli”, framing Florence from 1955 - Bottega Maselli Via De’ Ginori 51r, 50123 Firenze Website | E-shop: www.cornicimaselli.com Instagram: @cornicimaselli Photo credits: Ph, Caterina Gualtieri https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/araminta-campbell-textiles monthly 0.5 2023-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642079528980-0QWE8YEEC9QTFPHHJS4S/1615.png Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell It always leaves me with a feeling of joy and gratitude to witness the extraordinary beauty that a young, contemporary brand gives out to the world, while having its roots firmly planted in the still more than fertile soil of its own heritage. It’s the case of this young, beautiful, Scottish woman, who embraces and nurtures her culture and her heritage to the point of creating such an inspiring reality: contemporary designs supported by centuries of tradition and expertise, built by the wisdom of the hands and the warmth of the heart and soul. In fact, what is innovation if not tradition in eternal movement? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642081111651-E1UY3LF9WG0NQXSI6OJR/1338-fixed-width.jpg Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell - Make it stand out Araminta’s Edimburgh studio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642081393837-NDV0SMH5B0NDMILTAZKA/1191-fixed-width.jpg Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642081393256-56UGCNI86YY7CJEXO2BJ/1283-fixed-width.jpg Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642081394268-7672P8OP3I3FN8A2RRBE/1298-fixed-width.jpg Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642081395206-UZXEZ58MZA22CIQ7JOEE/1342-fixed-width.jpg Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642081395822-ZJ57GA6L07VT0DTCJHWU/Araminta-at-the-Loom.jpg Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1642084617852-L36BSYW1G0HTZ1NZ9ZMH/1204-fixed-width.jpg Stories - From Scottish heritage to contemporary looms - Araminta Campbell - The “Signature” collection.

Scottish tweed and tartan textures are familiar to everyone. These have always been linked not only to a sense of quality, but also to inclusiveness: anyone can wear these textiles and proudly contribute to telling a common story, or become part of it. Indeed, those of you who follow my personal Instagram profile already have an idea of the Heritage Collection, since I recently took one of the scarves from this collection on a tour of Rome. Made from carefully sourced lambswool, the “Heritage” handwoven line draws on the rich heritage of Scottish textiles; one piece can take up to three weeks to make! img. me wearing the Heritage scarf Ph.

Araminta Campbell has always led the way when it comes to sustainability and traceability. That's why since the beginning she has been carefully (and lovingly!) following the processes of breeding and shearing of the Alpacas. Meet Araminta, the alpaca. She is an incredibly inquisitive creature! Well socialised, she is an incredibly confident young alpaca who is happy to roam in the herd rather than staying by mum’s side! Shearing is incredibly important for alpaca as it not only prevents overheating of the animal but also prevents the matting of fleece causing painful skin conditions. During the “cria shearing process”, both her head and tail fleece will be left longer as alpacas recognise their offspring by smell so this will help Perdy, her mum, to recognise Araminta, even she looks different.

I had the rare privilege of hearing, touching and observing this story with my own eyes during my recent trip to Egypt, on the deep blue shores of the Red Sea. Getting to know a complex reality closely linked to the local community, such as Nevin Altmann's, is a precious opportunity for personal growth, as it represents a source of knowledge of social and cultural aspects that otherwise I would have certainly missed during my trip.

The beyond belief reality that I want to share with you today has its roots in the desert sands and in the clear waters of the Siwa oasis, where about 30 years ago an extraordinary woman made the brave decision to transform a unique, and almost totally disappeared, savoir-faire in what would have become a sustainable, conscious and 100% handcrafted brand with an important community project. The women of Siwa were skilled embroiderers.. they carried out a traditional technique of textile decoration in the daily life of the oasis, which, at that time, was completely untouched by the contamination of modern technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1620311125358-0NVRAAUBQ5B1ZC5BAWKY/thebrander-nevin-altmann-pascal-mora-03.jpg Stories - Nevin Altmann, a contemporary guardianess of Egyptian heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1620311126513-NHFYJTQJJ3O596508ZJU/thebrander-nevin-altmann-pascal-mora-07.jpg Stories - Nevin Altmann, a contemporary guardianess of Egyptian heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1620311130538-PZV641HX1IN9S0D40JIL/thebrander-nevin-altmann-pascal-mora-08.jpg Stories - Nevin Altmann, a contemporary guardianess of Egyptian heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1620311131750-ZM1B5K6EV9SVYNGNTENP/thebrander-nevin-altmann-pascal-mora-14.jpg Stories - Nevin Altmann, a contemporary guardianess of Egyptian heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1620311133777-QMRS7N6G10THPGF9EACX/thebrander-nevin-altmann-pascal-mora-15.jpg Stories - Nevin Altmann, a contemporary guardianess of Egyptian heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1620310297267-ZUFW1DTBWO1Y6RN4OG2P/IMG_8551-min.jpg Stories - Nevin Altmann, a contemporary guardianess of Egyptian heritage. This "slow" and extremely sustainable production process.. has led more and more women to want to learn the ancient techniques, in order to work for the brand. Initially based entirely on Siwa, the business soon found such a success that it started involving artisans from other regions of Egypt, each with their own particular stylistic signature, colors, materials and techniques typical of their area. What started out as a small (yet, powerful!) initiative, involving only a few women in Siwa, has over the years involved more than 300 women from all over Egypt, who make embroidery for a wide range of scarves, traditional dresses, caftans, bags and other accessories. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and unrepeatable, as it is completely handcrafted. Img.

She dedicated her days to the care of her beloved plants. One day, from the top of her lush balcony, her beauty was noticed by a Moor who was passing by. As soon as he saw her, he did not hesitate for a moment to declare his love for her. The girl, struck by this declaration, returned the Moor's sentiment with passion, yet, dear readers, as often happens in tales of romance, their story, which began with such ardor, was destined for a short life.. Soon the young woman discovered that her beloved had to return to the East where his wife and children were waiting for him. She felt humiliated, betrayed. In the middle of the night she killed her Moor in the sleep. Later he cut off the head and created a sort of vase in which she planted a basil sprout, the plant of kings. The plant grew luxuriant, and soon caught the envy of the girl's neighbors who, from that moment, started making terracotta pots with the same features as the Moor's Head.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1610197843267-6SNGQYEBYFICAFVDV4E9/e7809cf364f14ea0c1133c2b8371b22d.jpg Stories - Crita, the Sicilian savoir-faire for contemporary design. What an extraordinary land is Sicily.. What an extraordinary land is Sicily, a forge of culture and beauty, a wonderful crossroad between the most diverse and ancient cultures. Loved and worshipped by the Greeks, the Arabs, the French.. fascinating fulcrum of the most complex traditions. A land dotted with milestones, one of which in particular I will focus on today: Caltagirone, a place that hosts one of the most distinctive ceramic traditions in Italy. Land whose proud artisans have forged an extraordinary cultural and artistic heritage that fascinates the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1610026143446-ARIDRZ1Y9ROOW3WPTMFZ/crita__fotofondatori+__about.jpg Stories - Crita, the Sicilian savoir-faire for contemporary design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1610026224542-ALBZDVKNC4NCJSNKHWUR/image-asset.jpeg Stories - Crita, the Sicilian savoir-faire for contemporary design. - SULEIMAN Like tradition dictates, Suleiman portrays a splendid moor full of pride, elegance and mystery. Suleiman was one of the greatest sultans of the Orient: Suleiman the Magnificent. A tribute to the people who laid the foundation of the art pottery that the residents of Caltagirone have perfected and made unique. The sultan of Crita is deprived of every tinsel and decoration in order to highlight solely the beauty of the face and the brightness and power of the colors. The creative process, from modeling to firing, makes sure that no piece will ever be identical to the previous one, making it in all but name unique. Like every piece of art our Solimano is the fruit of the hands that mold it and therefore we can say that every single Solimano of Crita possesses, like everyone of us, characteristics that make it unique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1610026522942-NOCH3HS3F3LYH3ZU4OV5/Roxy.jpg Stories - Crita, the Sicilian savoir-faire for contemporary design. - ROXELANA To create this large and sumptuous female moorish head, Crita could only draw inspiration from a powerful, mysterious and fascinating figure of a woman: Roxelana, deeply loved wife of Suleiman the Magnificent, and central figure in the life and empire of the great sultan. Mother, wife, politician, patron, she knew how to shine with her own light. A moorish head, embellished with a pearl crown and pendants that frame its delicate face, that sparkles thanks to the colors of our collection. A tribute to the greatness of women made of lines, volumes and colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1610026412618-SLQ4V2K61XWQ0MYT9SI8/Slim.jpg Stories - Crita, the Sicilian savoir-faire for contemporary design. - SELIM Selim the Blond, this is how this Sultan went down in History, was son of Suleiman the Magnificent and Roxelana. Faithful to the style that distinguishes Crita’s ceramics, Selim is a sea of color, the color of Sicilian majolica, which rests on pure and elegant lines that give the head its unique and majestic appearance. https://www.sprazzidibellezza.com/stories/keisers-kammer monthly 0.5 2021-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606773595502-QMAOFODIW6Y4RD4R264U/IMG_5601.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606858110412-JQ2QJKSFMXCY8UKYHBPW/IMG_5728+-+Copia.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland - Didi & Werni Didi & Werni (the sweet nickname of Adele & Werner Keiser) are the beating heart of Keiser's Kammer. They are the ones who had the intuition that that 1700 barn had one more story to tell, despite the precarious conditions. Therefore they decided to give it that support, understanding and .. a big, integral, and committing renovation that it was deserving! I saw Werner himself moving stairs, building walls, painting, collecting stones and finishing wood with my own eyes. Keiser's Kammer would be nothing without them, who in many and long years of work and effort, have turnerd it into a material extension of the warmth of their home, love for family and for the little corner of paradise in which they are located. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606922787380-WJ13VE9KEJYHJ5AK7TSR/IMG_5485.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606922899114-J7DFJGAB0IPYK57VCDLH/IMG_5490.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606922819663-84AI27ETA6JXYOQF9D1U/IMG_5489.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606922918368-URAKZYXOGZF1OHLAU1CG/IMG_5493.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606814421521-KK0MVIF4H20CMSDJEYPO/IMG_5334.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606814654918-TF806QVH8UFNHNSYIPJL/IMG_5484.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606814603232-JD98MXTEG9Q66RV4W3FU/IMG_5389.JPG Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606920014526-G5R4O895WJD9O77RZ66U/IMG_5211%2B-%2BCopia.jpg Stories - Keiser’s Kammer - A wood-scented nest in the heart of Switzerland - “It is not a perfect house, yet it is a house with soul, history and life.

Starting from the brick fireplace, where Didi & Werni cook the warm meals for their guests, coming directly from the local farms and the regional producers, up to every single detail of the furniture and the boutique. I am fortunate enough to work often in the structure and I confess that it is a privilege to work in front of this lit fire, on the wooden table in front of the window, which filters natural light from outside and allows me to observe the snow or the rain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1606855122085-Z8BUVI7BDF6VKCSR9DDI/IMG_5399.JPG Stories -

The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome When I cross the threshold of a space, whether it is a residence, commercial space, museum or reception, I expect it to tell about itself, to tell a story. Design, as well as fashion and all other forms of art, is, in its deepest essence, a storyteller, and it is these stories, each time unique and unrepeatable, that reveal the identity of a place, as much as the one of those who live in it, who often have the goal of leaving an indelible message in the mind of those who cross their threshold. "History" is an essential component of beauty. At Palazzo delle Pietre (The Stones Building), they are the ones who speak, the “stones”: a chorus that runs through a historical plot at the rythm of canon, in which the paths and passions of the current and visionary owners of the palace meet with the architectural heritage and the historical value of the complex and the beauty of the sculptural art of Imperial and Renaissance Rome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596537126042-07SP3XGCE7UQ8D77DY26/resized_348207-dsc08930.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596537223814-431V2M2G2U9U8XKARQUR/resized_736863-dsc08966.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596537382197-950ZH9J5M5VDI63AI3EC/_MG_3746.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596537270218-6PB29AOE5678R6VVEBGS/_MG_3760.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596537422149-XZ1ST1C98HXM02YIF0K8/_MG_3750_rit.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596537372122-HA816RO6R60H2NXGE342/_MG_4038.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596537275686-LHWJA4W7BFLE6YLDBZQ1/_MG_3824.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596388849013-0ZO9987KUNWRHZJ51C1N/_MG_3888.jpg Stories - The talking stones of Palazzo delle Pietre, Luxury Apartments, Rome Palazzo delle Pietre is today a luxury apartments facility, but, in my opinion, also a real museum open to the public, and a showroom that displays some of the most iconic pieces of modern and contemporary design. The "stones" dialogue in a coherent and constant discourse with the best known lighting pieces by Artemide, the most sought after complements by Alivar, Kartell and De Padova, precious natural marbles, mosaics and ancient historical pieces brought to new life thanks to the savoir-faire of the most skilled master craftsmen, up to pieces by contemporary artists or found in small boutiques and local markets. The mission of Barbara and the whole family is to make available to the city a place that interested, cultivated and visitors lovers of the world of art and beauty could call "home-away-from-home", and be welcomed with the hospitality usually reserved to the closest friends. It is no coincidence that the family lives inside the same building, and the style of their private homes fully reflects that of the different apartments, as if they were a real extension of their home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1596391118456-OTCF4VYY0J07CY8V234E/_MG_3494.jpg Stories -

Almost exactly one year ago I've been struggling for weeks trying to manage to attend the Lucerne Music Festival. I had never been in the city and that would have been the perfect occasion to enrich my traveller heritage! Unfortunately due to high costs and sold out concerts dates, I didn't make it to Lucerne.. that's why I decided to take the chance and detour in Zurig.. where, in that exact occasion, I met my partner! And here I am now, with him, in Lucerne! Finally admiring the world wide famous bridge blossoming for us in this weird springtime. Cheers to life surprises! #visitlucerne #amazingswitzerland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1590523172730-NMGWMER1XEUJ7YA2XBM5/Format+standard+no+mano.jpg Home - .

"Ondine" is composed of a mixture of stabilized white and golden ruscus leaves, each one ensembled by hand. It's inspired by the famous opera by Jean Giraudoux, in which Ondine is the female protagonist, spirit of the water element. The 100% artisanal parisian brand @lescouronnesdevictoire is a beautiful sample of what I call "cultural luxury" reality. ✨ A young, small, high quality brand which not only produces and sells products, yet in every single piece, every detail hides a riot of stories, including the one of the creator and artisan herself, Lauranne, who broke the patterns of a life that did not belong to her to bring childhood dreams to light! Look what's the result of pursuing your own journey! As a flowers lover since her childhood, Lauranne studied a totally natural biological process to freeze the beauty of flowers, to create timeless, completely natural accessories for every occasion and every season I truly feel honoured of being here working with another beautiful case of slow luxury, craftsmanship and storytelling concept charged with the deepest values and passion of people behind it. I'm looking forward to telling you the story in its deepest details!  Stay tuned! So much more to come on the feed and the blog! #francescapolizzi #selfportrait #luxurygoodscommunication #madeinfrance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1588612247547-L4W45RJ0W50RNUIK90QZ/image-asset.jpeg Home - . It is known that Augustus was parsimonious, especially in food, he himself loved to feed at times only with bread and grapes while abounding in fruit of all kinds during his banquets. It took me a few days to research and prepare an honourable cake for Rome’s birthday (she turned 2773 on April21st!) Three key-words came to my mind, clear and concrete: authenticity, abundance and history. I imagined what kind of cake the ancient Romans would eat on the other side of their triclinium. And this delicious mix of beauty and abundance has translated into a recipe with genuine, pristine, distinct flavors of the most loved and popular fruits in ancient Rome: - apples (malum) - blackberries (rubus) - pomegranate (malum granatum) - dates (palmulae) - figs (ficus) - walnuts (juglans regia) - grapes ..and much more! All linked by the scent of mint and rosemary, sweetened with the most genuine chestnut honey. A light, genuine cake, 100% vegan, delicious, rich, which I hope will inspire your creativity and your desire to know more about the infinite wonders of the eternal city! Find the whole recipe (ingredients, making of, tricks&notes) on the blog www.sprazzidibellezza.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1588094076461-BOZA8PLJ4WMGVWICTW9P/Versione2jpg.jpg Home - .

For all those who are new on my feed, welcome! I couldn't be happier for having so many new of you around here, with so much to tell and to share! About mefor all of the new ones: hello!

I don't know if it's politically correct to say this, considering the current situation: the truth is that, honestly, it's been a long time since I felt so happy. I believe it's a mixture of extreme gratefulness and capability to be present "here and now", which automatically lead to that happiness feeling. . . I notice it since the day I started going to sleep looking forward to wake up in the morning; ⏰ early alarms, which were a nightmare in the past, are not a problem anymore. Even if I'm tired sometimes, I still feel the enthusiasm, creativity and energy flow in my veins. . . . Not only this surreal situation is teaching many of us that life can be good with few, essential elements; it's also suggesting that we should definitely stop living the precious time we're gifted every day according to what we're supposed to be and what we're supposed to aim to. . . . I tell you, it's all a matter of possibilities: being "here and now" makes you able to see a larger range of options every single day and you're free to decide whether or not to take them. And this choice should not be driven by the question "what am I expected to do and where am I expected to be going?" If you're focused on "what you're supposed to do", I tell you, you're probably missing many of these chances right now! And it's quite a waste! . . Is it worth living in a projection of ourselves, when the alternative is feeling alive right now? . . For me this is the year of rebirth. Despite the current pandemy which has a lot to teach to all of us.. . . . I live by the day guided by gratefulness; build for myself an education and a job that I love and allows me to be free & grow as human first; my future has never been so uncertain, yet I've never been happier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1587744476226-DKGTL01K6D4E1SRIPJM3/image-asset.jpeg Home - . Rome, off the beaten paths. April 21st was the 2,773 birthday of Rome, the most beautiful city in the world (sorry, as a Roman, I'm taking sides... forgive me!), and during this week the Eternal City has been among the main focuses and plans for upcoming content. . . I asked myself: how much do those who has visited Rome actually know about it? In fact, very often, those who have been to Rome visited it for an average of 3/4 days, enough to take a "first layer" look at what it has to offer. It would take months to see it all, to understand it, to truly be part of it and let yourself being totally overwhelmed with its unique atmosphere. Rome needs slowness and time. And as a Roman, born and raised in Rome, where my heart is and will always be, I know many of those magical places, away from the main tourist hubs, which I always recommend and share  with enthusiasm.. and that's why I decided to share with you some of my favourites! . . Discover on the stories ☝a new Template I created: Rome - off the beaten paths. ♥ Use it to sign down some of my purest recommendations for your next trip!

Yesterday afternoon I took a walk in Rome's center for the first time after months, which may sound not that much.. yet, for a Rome-addicted like me it felt like the absolute first time! I don't remember having ever observed the Four Rivers Fountain in Piazza Navona for so long.. walking around it again and again discovering figures and details usually unnoticed, enhanced by the sound of water and the plays of late afternoon light. Have you ever been in Rome? What do you love the most about it? #francescapolizzi #luxurygoods #homesweetrome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5fc750787c2935ff623842/1586422352499-9D59DUQ9PCDMDNMGEEYT/2.jpeg Home - .

Guess where this picture was shot down in the comments! All those who will guess right, will get a special surprise! I am honestly looking forward for all the upcoming international projects I will be involved as soon as this pandemy will fade! The travel community needs support more than ever, especially the small businesses who struggle with the major damages this situation has brought along!
