An overnight visit to Ravenna with my son Ludovico and his friend became an unexpected journey into the birthplace of mosaic mastery. What was designed as a pitstop on our way to Croatia, this small Adriatic city provided a beautiful cultural detour. With nonchalance that characterizes many Italian gems, Ravenna’s ancient city center has several […]
In the abundance of garments that grace our wardrobes, there exists one remarkable piece. It’s a timeless symbol of grace, tradition and artistry: the kimono. I am continuously inspired by the fluidity and beauty of the kimono, which is why I was eager to observe Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection for Dior, unveiled beneath […]
Magazines are special to me, perhaps imprinted in my early years growing up in the family publishing business. I witnessed first-hand the transformation blank pages into glossy printed subscriptions, and even designed my own publications in my teens. A collection of top magazines occupies a part of my Studio, not as clutter, but as an […]
This May, I have the honor of being named the Featured Artist of Rose Rosé 2025 — an event that brings together art, fashion, and the soft, radiant power of pink. Selected works from the Iconics series will be exhibited at the opening event on May 7 at the St. Regis Rome, when I will […]
Journals have long been a constant companion for me. They take the form of sketchbooks, collaged diaries, hand-bound volumes, even loose sheets. Some are dedicated to specific themes, others are catch-alls for lists, observations, visions, drawings. I even collect journals – on a dedicated bookshelf, they await their creative destiny. More than a practice, journaling […]
Three different Artist Dates in Rome led me to three photography exhibitions that couldn’t have been more different: Franco Fontana at Ara Pacis, Richard Avedon at tje Gagosian Gallery, and Guido Guidi at MAXXI. Three masters with three completely different vibes… My photographer husband joined me for some of the shows and his trained eye […]
A Florentine weekend with a soul sister led us the Museo del Tessuto in Prato, the town known as a one-time hub of clothing production for the fashion world. The exhibition that drew us there was a sort of textile reverie: Silk Treasures. Masterpieces from the Falletti collection. The adventure of arriving there, by way […]
Futurism and I have a long affair. This was the subject of my premiere issue of Italian Journal as its editor, when I got to meet curators and chefs and artists carrying on the light of this special artistic movement of the early 20th century. My family owns a collection of Futurist prints, which has […]
As someone whose work explores color, texture and form, watching the haute couture collections unfold in Paris feels like witnessing kindred spirits working at the pinnacle of creative expression. Through the lens of my artist and designer eye, these collections resonate with familiar artistic sensibilities while pushing extraordinary boundaries of craftsmanship and vision. The artistry […]
I’m delighted to announce Rome. I Live for Beauty, a solo exhibition at the Circolo degli Esteri, Rome from January 24 to February 8. This collection of digital etchings continues my exploration of beauty as an eternal yet evolving concept, weaving together emotions with symbolism – inspired by the Eternal City, far from my native […]
A friend in-the-know prebooked a guided visit at the Museo del Corso one Sunday morning, and asked me and another to join. These visits sell out quickly, so getting in the door to this art tour entitled “Rome and the Jubilee” was a treat. Early on a Sunday morning, via del Corso was unusually quiet […]
