VERSACE’S NEW HERITAGE Versace’s newly opened boutique in Rome’s Piazza di Spagna, the second Versace store in the city, encapsulates the brand’s talent for marrying forward-looking designs with its impressive heritage. The new boutique has mosaic foors inspired by Byzantine churches, contrasted with futuristic Perspex walls and shelves. Created in collaboration with English architect Jamie Fobert, this skilful blend of traditional Italian opulence and architectural style perfectly mirrors Versace’s own balance between old and new. The store carries prêt-à-porter for men and women alongside an extensive range of accessories. kr Versace, Piazza di Spagna 12, 00187 Rome, +39 06 678 0521, versace.com * for map go to page 97 globalblue.com

Superb craftsmanship coupled with impeccable design: no wonder Italy’s fne leather accessories labels are proving such a hit with men around the world, says Ruairidh Pritchard 136 / 149

ALL IN THE DETAIL

The Made in Italy label has been synonymous with exceptional quality for centuries. Those in the know have always valued the traditional skills of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artisans who today, more than ever, are turning their talents to producing the fnest leather accessories

for men. From shoes to hats, bags to belts and wallets to luggage, Italian handcrafted leather goods are reaching new heights of luxury. One of Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success stories is Cellerini. Started by Silvano Cellerini in the early 1950s, the label began with just one sewing

machine and a hide, bought with a small inheritance. A decade later Cellerini and his wife had expanded the business, creating leather handbags and luggage for some of the most afuent Florentine families of the time. Now the label is headed up by the founder’s daughter Alessandra, who is keen to ensure that her parents’ dedication to peerless quality endures. Many of the working practices that went into creating Cellerini’s frst bag are still followed: all leather cutting is done entirely by hand by the label’s ex-

perienced craftspeople. The pieces are then painstakingly trimmed by hand before being sewn together, a process which has been assisted by the advancements in manufacturing technology. Similarly, Cellerini continues to provide the level of personalisation that it ofered more than half a century ago. Thanks to a vast choice of calfskins, linings, threads and hardware, customers can have Cellerini create their very own bespoke Italian leather masterpiece. Another family-owned atelier with a claim to the title of ‘Italy’s

fnest’ is Santoni, which has been creating some of the best handmade shoes to come out of Milan since it was set up in 1975 by Andrea Santoni. Over the decades, the label – now helmed by a second generation of Santonis – has expanded to become one of the country’s largest homegrown shoemakers, while keeping its key values of quality, passion for detail and working exclusively by hand intact. The brand’s two key pillars – innovation and tradition – still provide a solid foundation for its work. These days Santoni combines traditional expert hand craftsmanship with pioneering production techniques to ensure that every item of footwear fts as perfectly as possible, whether it’s a brogue or a Chelsea boot.

A great deal of efort goes into sourcing the most sought-after hides and fabrics to ensure that each style is comfortable, practical and durable as well as stylish. Nowhere is this more evident than in the brand’s latest Limited Edition Collection, whose designs and materials are overseen by Andrea Santoni himself. From the frst cut of the carefully selected leather to the fnal fre-branding with the Santoni mark, each step is done by hand, and there is no time limit for the creation of a single pair of shoes. Considering that one leather-tinting phase can require over 15 applications of colour, this proves that craftsmanship remains at the forefront of Santoni’s production. However, it isn’t just new Italian products that are fnding

favour with well-heeled men; vintage and restored antique leather goods are becoming more popular among those looking to invest in some beautiful Italian leather. Bernardini in Milan is a treasure trove of lovingly restored and rare antique pieces. The store was founded by Max Bernardini in 1996, who was inspired by his father’s work in importing fne antiques for some of Italy’s wealthiest families. The inviting emporium, which even has its own full-time bartender, is home to an eclectic collection of rare and expertly sourced goods, ranging from vintage travel trunks, suitcases and vanity boxes from the likes of Prada and Gucci, many of them made to order for wealthy European explorers during expeditions to Africa in the early 20th century.

A short vaporetto ride from the main island of Venice lies Murano, also known as ‘the glass island’ after the product for which it has been famous since the 10th century. ‘Venice would hardly be the same without the diaphanous chandeliers that refect the light like old-cut precious jewels twin-

kling by candlelight,’ remarks editor, stylist, artist and designer Marko Matysik. ‘The exquisite hand-made quality gives each piece a uniqueness that I always marvel at.’ Exceptional examples of Murano glass are scattered the world over, for not only has it been widely

Murano’s glassmakers have a welldeserved reputation for innovation and excellence, acquired over many centuries, as Fiona McKenzie Johnston explains

exported, but there are also passionate collectors, along with a host of artists who have applied techniques they learnt on Murano to their own work: think of Dale Chihuly – who received a Fulbright Fellowship to study at the Venini factory – and his remarkable chandelier in the atrium of London’s

Victoria and Albert Museum. ‘The Venetians have been regarded as virtuoso glassmakers since Renaissance times,’ explains Audrey Whitty, curator of European glass at the Corning Museum of Glass. ‘They developed superior techniques and glass formulas. Their objects were highly sought

after, and often copied. Today, many of the techniques and formulas developed on the island of Murano inform the creations of modern artists who work in glass.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Glass is made from silica, which becomes liquid at high temperatures. As it cools again, there is a stage when it becomes malleable, a stage that Muranoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glassmakers exploit with impressive skill and imagination. Among the centuries-old techniques still in use today are glass with gold fecks (avventurina), rods cut into multicoloured slices (millefori) and opaque milk glass (lattimo) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as others which have been developed more recently, such as the layering of contrasting colours (sommerso).

As most of the best factories don’t allow one to go and look around – they are, after all, in the business of making glass rather than entertaining visitors – the best way of learning more about all these techniques is at Murano’s Museo del Vetro (glass museum), which houses displays on the history of glassmaking, as well as

samples ranging from Egyptian times through to the present. Of course, it’s not all chandeliers. An enormous variety of other pieces are made in factories or in one of the many individual artists’ studios on Murano: elegant tableware, extraordinary statuary, paperweights, candlesticks, jewellery, stemware and any number of trinkets. One of the best-known names is Antica Vetreria Fratelli Toso, which has been run by the Toso family since 1854. Today, it’s mostly involved in promoting the Fratelli Toso collection, and has strong relationships with a number of private collectors, auction houses and museums worldwide. Pauly opened in 1866, and has a wide range of lighting and of coloured and decorative glasses, decanters and jugs. For something more contemporary or unusual in feel, Berengo Studio was established in 1989 with the intention of combining

Murano glass-making traditions with contemporary art. Another famous name that has made a point of working with famous artists and designers is Venini, previously mentioned as where Chilhuly trained. Over the years, it has collaborated with several important fgures, including Giò Ponti and Carlo Scarpa, with new partnerships always being developed. Venini also ofers a bespoke service, should you wish for something unique for your home, or even for your yacht. The list doesn’t stop there. Another company that ofers an interiors service as well as take-away decorative items is Salviati, which also works with a number of designers; Barovier & Toso specialises in lighting, be it chandeliers, wall sconces or foor lamps; Ferro Murano makes everything from bowls to glass balustrades; and Seguso ofer lighting, glasses, vases and even furniture (tables with glass legs).

Whatever you buy you’ll be taking home a piece of Venetian history scious, as it designs the Murano glass ranges for both Roberto Cavalli and Armani Casa; then there is Simone Cenedese, Alessandro Mandruzzato, Gabbiani … The best way to check that you are buying glass from a reputable source is to visit the ofcial Murano Glass website, which has details of the trademark, and a full list of factories and stockists. What is certain is that there is something for everyone, and whatever you buy you’ll be taking home a piece of Venetian history. ‘The impulse to buy fragile champagne futes is always too great to resist,’ says Matysik.

Italy’s historic arcades provide so much more than boutiques displaying the most desirable fashion, jewellery and other delights. Beth Druce examines their enduring appeal 142 / 152

In an era where retail spaces seem to evolve at the speed of light, Italy’s historic shopping arcades are long-standing beacons of social and urban culture that date back to the 1800s. The home of many a luxury brand, they are hubs for Italy’s social and creative networks, adding to their enduring appeal. ‘We call it il salotto [the living

room], where the beautiful people meet, shop and dine,’ explains Giulio Ruggieri, an Italian native and design director for a leading creative agency, talking about the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. Designed and built almost 150 years ago by Giuseppe Mengoni and named after the then king, it is Italy’s oldest and most famous shopping arcade.

Composed of two glass-vaulted arcades with an octagon where they intersect, its arching glass and cast-iron roof proved infuential in the design of retail spaces in the years that followed; both the glass roof and the term ‘galleria’ are evident in the design of shopping centres today. It was here that Mario Prada chose to open his frst store in 1913, where he sold a selection of leather goods, and which is still in operation. Together with Louis Vuitton, the Prada store takes centre stage in the Galleria’s imposing octagonal space. Dating back to the late 19th century, the Galleria Umberto I in Naples is situated opposite the San Carlo opera house, and was designed by Emanuele Rocco as part of the rejuvenation or risanamento of the city at that time. Tall and airy, it is topped by a glass dome braced by 16 metal ribs. After many years of being left to decay, it was returned to being an active centre of Neapolitan life and today is home to the boutique Art Resort Hotel, alongside shops and

Italy’s historic shopping arcades are long-standing beacons of social and urban culture cafés. On a smaller scale, the Galleria Alberto Sordi (previously the Galleria Colonna) in Rome, which opened in 1922, is notable for its ornate art nouveau stained glass. More modest than its Milanese and Neapolitan counterparts, it’s home to fashion and accessories labels and a bookshop, and is a popular and charming meeting place. If all of Italy’s historic arcades are a draw for the country’s elite, it’s the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II that is most famed for its clientele, many of whom have frequented the Savini, whose reputation since its launch in 1884 has been legendary.

Giuseppe Verdi, Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly are among the famous names to have dined at Savini, and Charlie Chaplin famously commented, ‘I’ve never eaten so well.’ The neighbouring Bar Zucca and Cafè Bif have a similarly starry following, the latter having been opened in 1867 by Paolo Bif, then pastry chef to the Italian royal family. That these popular haunts are nestled next to fashion houses such as Gucci (which has its own café where you can enjoy chocolates featuring its distinctive logo) and Tod’s, makes for a rather seductive mix. ‘The old tenants such as Savini add that romantic touch, the jewellery stores maintain the prestige,’ says Ruggieri. However, the history of Italy’s best-known arcade has not been without its controversial moments. During the 1990s the drive for exclusivity appeared to waver, and McDonalds was one of a handful of somewhat unexpected additions to the Galleria. While many fell by

the wayside, the hamburger chain traded for 20 years, right up until 2012, when the renewal of its tenancy was rejected. Ruggieri, for one, was relieved: ‘The city seems to have made it its goal to restore its cultural heritage.’ Such cultural heritage comes in the form of Prada, which launched the Prada Galleria project to mark the centenary of its frst boutique. The new menswear store includes a restaurant and exhibition space dedicated to the Prada Foundation which promotes contemporary art. And, while the motivation for the project was to reconnect the brand with its Milanese roots, it has also strengthened the relationship the Galleria has with the worlds of art, fashion and high society, in many ways the legacy on which its reputation has been built. What emerges is a partnership between retail and culture that is unsurpassed: an alluring, exclusive and inspiring place to shop, but – as Ruggieri highlights – ‘… frst of all, a place to be seen’

Verity’s top tips for a weekend in Venice While a romantic gondola ride might be at the top of your to-do list, Venice’s ferry network is a cost-efective alternative that takes in all of the city’s sights, including the Canal Grande. Don’t battle the crowds queueing to see the Basilica on Piazza San Marco; head to the Museo Correr at the other end of the square, which ofers a standout collection of historic artworks displayed in stunning neoclassical rooms. Don’t be afraid to head out without a map; Venice is one of the best cities for aimless wandering and it’s often of the beaten track that you’ll fnd hidden gems. The quieter districts of Dorsoduro and Cannaregio are ideal places for exploration.

‘Tucked away on a quiet section of canal, Trattoria Sempione was one of my best culinary discoveries. The restaurant exudes charm with a warm, welcoming interior that perfectly refects its traditional menu – seafood is a particular speciality.’

Translations РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 60: All In The Detail

Совершенство в деталях Превосходное мастерство в сочетании с безупречным дизайном: не удивительно, что итальянские аксессуары из натуральной кожи так популярны среди с мужчин по всему миру, говорит Руайрид Притчард

Знак «Made in Italy» на протяжении веков считался синонимом исключительного качества и непревзойденного мастерства. Знающие люди всегда ценили аксессуары, изготовленные руками итальянских ремесленников, и сегодня их талант востребован как никогда раньше. Начиная от обуви, шляп и ремней и заканчивая бумажниками и сумками – итальянские изделия из кожи сегодня достигли новых globalblue.com

стандартов роскоши. Cellerini – один из успешных итальянских проектов, задуманный Сильвано Целлерини еще в начале 1950-х годов. Его производство состояло всего из одной швейной машинки и нескольких отрезков кожи, купленных на деньги от небольшого наследства. Десять лет спустя Целлерини и его жена решили расширить ассортимент, начав пошив кожаных сумок и чемоданов для зажиточных флорентийских семей. Теперь бренд возглавляет дочь основателя – Алессандра, которая заботится о том, чтобы утвержденные родителями стандарты качества оставались всегда на высоте. Множество техник, использованных для пошива самой первой сумки бренда, по-прежнему актуальны: раскрой кожи всегда выполняется только вручную опытными ремесленниками, затем отдельные куски тщательно обрезаются и сшиваются с применением самых последних технологий. Кроме всего прочего, Cellerini продолжает предлагать услуги персонального пошива изделий, как и пол века тому назад. Благодаря широкому разнообразию кожи, подкладочных тканей, ниток и фурнитуры, Cellerini может создать любое изделие из натуральной итальянской кожи

специально по заказу клиента. Santoni – еще одно известное ателье, претендующее на звание лучшего в Италии. Оно было основано в 1975 году миланским портным Андреа Сантони и занимается пошивом роскошной обуви ручной работы. Сейчас брендом управляет уже второе поколение семьи Сантони, которому удалось не только расширить производство до уровня крупнейшего в стране, но и сохранить семейные ценности: качество, внимание к деталям и мастерство, полностью основанное на ручном труде. Два ключевых направления бренда – инновации и традиции – до сих пор обеспечивают прочную основу для работы. Сегодня Santoni сочетает в себе традиционное мастерство ручной работы и последние новаторские технологии производства. В результате каждая пара обуви, будь то туфли или полуботинки, сидит на ноге просто идеально. Немало усилий уходит на поиск отборных сортов кожи и ткани, которые смогут обеспечить обуви комфортность, прочность и неотразимый внешний вид. Лучшим примером такого подхода служит последняя коллекция бренда – Limited Edition Collection, дизайном которой занимался сам Андреа Сантони. Все этапы создания обуви, начиная с первого раскроя тщательно отобранной кожи и заканчивая нанесением финальных фирменных штрихов, выполняются исключительно вручную и могут занимать globalblue.com

неограниченное количество времени. Например, окраска кожи может состоять из более чем 15 этапов, что еще раз доказывает насколько ручной труд и мастерство ценятся на производстве Santorini. Однако вкусы стильных мужчин сегодня не ограничиваются лишь новинками итальянских аксессуаров. Все большую популярность среди поклонников красивого итальянского ремесла приобретают винтажные изделия из кожы. Миланский магазин Bernardini – настоящая сокровищница со множеством прекрасных старинных изделий, восстановленных должным образом. Основателем магазина в 1996 году был Макс Бернардинию. На идею открытия нового дела в како-то мере повлиял бизнес его отца, долгое время торговавшего изысканным антиквариатом. В магазине посетителей ждет эклектичная коллекция редких и тщательно подобранных изделий, начиная от винтажных саквояжей, чемоданов и заканчивая дамскими сумочками Prada и Gucci. Многие из изделий были сделаны на заказ специально для богатых европейских путешественников еще во времена первых африканских экспедиций начала 20-х годов. Разнообразие и привлекательность коллекции служат прекрасной иллюстрацией многовекового качества итальянского производства, особенно в отношении изделий из кожи.

Современные мужчины прекрасно понимают, что приобретение кожаных аксессуаров итальянского производства связано не только с выгодными инвестициями. Аксессуары могут дать весьма четкое представление о богатых итальянских традициях мастерства и пошива вещей на заказ. Изготовленные вручную аксессуары всегда были и остаются визитной карточкой итальянской роскоши и отличительным признаком по-настоящему хорошо одетого мужчины. cellerini.it, santonishoes.com, bernardinimilano.it 68: A Touch Of Glass

Стеклянное чудо Производители муранского стекла известны своими инновационными техниками и мастерством, выработанным в течение долгих веков, – рассказывает Фиона МакКензи Джонстон Остров Мурано или, как его еще называют, «стеклянный остров» расположен неподалеку от Венеции. Добраться сюда можно на специальном маршрутном катере «вапоретто». Свое прозвище остров приобрел благодаря стекольным мастерским, которые появились здесь еще в Х веке. «Венецию очень сложно представить без ее роскошных люстр, сверкающих так, как сверкают старинные

драгоценные камни при свете свечей», – замечает редактор, стилист, художник и дизайнер Марко Матысик. «Изысканное качество ручной работы придает каждому изделию особую уникальность, которая меня всегда восхищает». Шедевры из муранского стекла можно встретить во многих странах мира и дело здесь не только в экспорте. Местные изделия пользуются большой популярностью среди страстных коллекционеров, а техника производства муранского стекла распространилась далеко за пределы Италии – вспомнить того же Дейла Чихули, обучавшегося на заводе Venini, и его неповторимую люстру для лондонского музея Виктории и Альберта. «Венецианцы считались виртуозами стекольного мастерства еще со времен Ренессанса», – поясняет Одри Уитти, заведующий европейского отдела в Корнингском музее стекла. «Они открыли превосходные техники и методы стекольного производства. Их изделия всегда высоко ценили

и часто пытались скопировать. Сегодня многие из техник, рожденных на острове Мурано, воплощаются в творениях современных мастеров стеклодувов». Для производства стекла в большинстве случаев применяется минерал кремнезем, который легко плавится при высоких температурах. Во время охлаждения он становится вязким и податливым – этим моментом как раз и пользуются муранские стеклодувы, применяя весь свой талант и воображение. Среди старинных техник, дошедших до наших дней можно встретить авантюриновое стекло (avventurina) с бесчисленным множеством золотых точек, миллефиори (millefori) – мозаичное стекло с декоративными рисунками, а также молочное стекло (lattimo) – непрозрачное стекло молочного оттенка. Кроме того в последнее время было открыто globalblue.com

еще несколько техник, например, соммерсо (sommerso) – наслоение друг на друга стеклянных пластов разного цвета. В связи с тем, что посещение знаменитых заводов для туристов ограничено – как и в любом бизнесе здесь есть своя коммерческая тайна – лучший способ узнать больше о производстве декоративного стекла можно посетив местный музей «Museo del Vetro». Здесь представлено множество экспозиций, посвященных истории стекольного дела, а также экспонатов, сохранившихся с египетских времен до наших дней. Естественно, что ассортимент продукции не ограничивается только лишь люстрами. Знаменитые муранские заводы и отдельные частные студии производят огромный спектр изделий, включая посуду, скульптуры, пресс-папье, подсвечники, украшения, бокалы и

всевозможные безделушки. Antica Vetreria Fratelli Toso – одно из самых известных местных предприятий, созданное семьей Тосо в 1854 году. Основной вид деятельности его заключается в развитии коллекции Fratelli Toso. Компания имеет прочные связи с рядом частных коллекционеров, аукционных домов и музеев по всему миру. Завод Pauly открылся в 1866 году и производит широкий спектр светильников, цветных и декоративных фужеров, графинов и кувшинов. Более современные и необычные изделия производятся компанией Berengo Studio. Она открылась в 1989 году, представив миру квинтэссенцию муранского стекла и современного искусства. Venini – еще одно известное предприятие, сотрудничающее со многими художниками и дизайнерами. В течении нескольких лет над совместными проектами здесь работал ряд выдающихся мастеров, включая Джо Понти и Карло Скарпа. Также Venini предлагает специальную услугу – создание изделий из стекла на заказ, благодаря которой покупатели могут получить в собственность абсолютно уникальный предмет интерьера для своего дома или даже яхты. На этом список не заканчивается. Salviati – компания, предлагающая большой выбор декоративных изделий из стекла, наряду с услугами по оформлению интерьера; Barovier & Toso специализируется на

светильниках, включая люстры, бра или торшеры; Ferro Murano производит все: от ваз до стеклянных балюстрад; Seguso предлагает светильники, бокалы, вазы и даже мебель (столики со стеклянными ножками). Formia International придется по вкусу поклонникам моды: здесь изготовляют муранское стекло специально для Roberto Cavalli и Armani Casa. Еще немало студий работает на острове Мурано: Simone Cenedese, Alessandro Mandruzzato, Gabbiani… Лучший способ проверить, что вы покупаете изделие от авторитетного производителя – это посетить официальный сайт, посвященный муранскому стеклу: здесь вы найдете список всех торговых марок, заводов и официальных магазинов. В любом случае каждый сможет найти здесь себе чтонибудь по вкусу, и что бы это ни было домой вы увезете частицу венецианской истории. «Особенно сложно удержаться чтобы не купить изящные фужеры для шампанского», – говорит Матысик. А зачем собственно себе в этом отказывать? muranoglass.com

Территория роскоши Знаменитые итальянские пассажи с их модными бутиками и ювелирными салонами скрывают в себе немало интересного. Бет Дрюс рассказывает о секрете их неизменной привлекательности

Когда торговые центры по всему миру только начали набирать обороты, знаменитые итальянские пассажи, появившиеся еще в начале1800-х годов, уже давно были частью городской культуры. Привлекаая поклонников роскошных брендов, они также

были излюбленным местом для дружеских встреч и общения. «Мы называем их il salotto или «гостиные» – это место, где люди встречаются, совершают покупки и просто обедают», – говорит globalblue.com

директор одного из ведущего креативных агентств итальянец Джулио Руджери, рассказывая о пассаже Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II в Милане. Свое название онполучил в честь тогдашнего короля. Это старейший и самый известный торговый пассаж Италии, спроектированный и построенный Джузеппе Менгони почти 150 лет назад. Крыша пассажа образована двумя стеклянными сводами с восьмиугольниками в основании – в последствии такая форма отлично себя зарекомендовала и стала весьма популярной при строительстве подобных сооружений. Сегодня понятия стеклянная крыша и пассаж неразрывно связаны между собой. Именно этот торговый центр в 1913 году выбрал Марио Прада для открытия своего первого магазина кожаной одежды, работающего и по сей день. Бутик Prada наряду с расположенным по соседству магазином Louis Vuitton занимают центральную часть восьмиугольного атриума пассажа. Напротив оперного театра Сан Карло в Неаполе расположилась Galleria Umberto I, открывшаяся в конце 19 века. Она была построена Эмануелем Рокко в рамках модернизации города. Высокие стены венчает устремленный ввысь стеклянный купол, укрепленный 16-ю стальными балками. После многих лет простоя центр был отреставрирован и сейчас в нем кипит динамичная

неаполитанская жизнь: внутри работает множество кафе и магазинов, включая бутик Art Resort Hotel. Менее масштабная Galleria Alberto Sordi (ранее Galleria Colonna) в Риме, открывшаяся в 1922 году, отличается от своих миланских и неапольских аналогов изысканно украшенными витражами. Galleria довольно популярна среди местных жителей: помимо многочисленных бутиков модной одежды и аксессуаров здесь также есть шикарный книжный магазин. Если бы все знаменитые пассажи Италии поспорили о том, кто из них имеет самую роскошную клиентуру, то Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II имела бы все шансы на победу. В 1884 году здесь открылся один из самых легендарных итальянских ресторанов – Savini. Среди

посетителей заведения были такие звезды, как Джакомо Пуччини, Джузеппе Верди, Фрэнк Синатра, Ава Гарднер, Грейс Келли и Чарли Чаплин, который в последствии заметил, что «никогда не ел так хорошо». Соседние заведения Bar Zucca и Cafè Bif имеют не менее значительный список звездных поклонников. Cafè Bif было открыто в 1867 году кондитером Паоло Биффи, поставлявшим десерты для королевского стола. В непосредственной близости расположились знаменитые дома моды, включая Gucci (в котором, кстати, есть собственное кафе, где можно насладиться фирменным шоколадом бренда) и Tod’s, а также ряд ювелирных и часовых бутиков. «Старинные жильцы подобно Savini придают этому месту оттенок романтики, а ювелирные магазины поддерживают престиж», –

144

считпет Руджери. Тем не менее, история самых известных торговых центров Италии не обошлась без курьезов. Появившееся в 90-х годах стремление к исключительности привело к тому, что у пассажа Galleria появилось несколько неожиданное дополнение, а именно – ресторан McDonalds. Многие помещения меняли своих хозяев, однако McDonalds просуществовал здесь на протяжении 20 лет вплоть до 2012 года, когда ресторану отказали в продлении аренды. Для кого как, а для Руджери это была радостная новсть: «Наконец-то город достиг своей цели по восстановлению культурного наследия». В какой-то мере этому культурному наследию поспособствовала Prada. Марка запустила новый проект под названием «Prada Galleria» по случаю столетия со дня открытия своего первого бутика. Новый магазин мужской одежды включает в себя ресторан и выставку, посвященную работе организации Prada Foundation. Организация, как известно, занимается поддержкой и развитием современного искусства. И хотя в основе проекта лежало желание компании восстановить связь со своими миланскими корнями, его запуск помог также укрепить отношения торгового центра Galleria с миром искусства и высокой моды, а также представителями высшего общества. В результате globalblue.com

возникла новая, роскошная атмосфера шоппинга: манящая, эксклюзивная и вдохновляющая. Как заметил Руджери: «… это место, которое лучше увидеть собственными глазами». 132: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

痴醉细节无可挑剔的设计加上精湛的制作工艺：难怪男人对意大利优良皮革如此痴醉，Ruairidh Pritchard如是说。几个世纪以来， “意大利制造”一直是非凡品质的代名词。这些知名品牌，一直将本国的工匠技能发扬光大。如今的优秀工匠们，比往昔更能将才华发挥得淋漓尽致，制作出最为出色的男装配件。从鞋子到帽子，皮带和钱包，行李箱，意大利的手工皮具均在奢侈品品质上创下新高。意大利的传奇之一是C el ler i n i。这个品牌由Silvano Cellerini在20世纪 50年代初创办，创办之时极为简陋，不过拥有一架缝纫机和若干皮革，继承产业如此稀薄，谁也不成料想，十年之

后，Cellerini与妻子将此品牌扩张做大，开创自主的皮革、手袋、行李箱，一度成为佛罗伦萨最富足的家族之一。该品牌如今为创始人之女Alessandra掌舵，她将父母所留下的绝世品质发扬光大。不少工艺技术依旧保持至今：皮革切割完全由熟练工匠手工精细完成。在缝制之前，所有皮革皆被小心裁剪，当然，如今日益先进的制造技术也为精良的制作贡献良多。同样，如今Cellerini所能提供的个性化定制，比半个世纪前更为琳琅满目。由于原材料的多样性，客户可以自主选择小牛皮、衬板、线和硬件等等来组装。但凡客户有所心愿，Cellerini皆可为其奉上意大利皮革杰作。另一家族工作室Sa nton i，可称得上意大利最好的品牌。此品牌由Andrea Santoni于1975年创立，在米兰城里内打造出精美绝伦的手工鞋。如今，Santoni 第二代已掌舵数十年，壮大成为意大利本土最大制鞋企业之一。他们一直坚守着核心价值观品质，对细节保持不懈的激情，以及坚持一丝不苟手工打造工艺。 Santoni的两大关键支柱— —创新与传统——仍然是该品牌坚实的基础。如今，Santoni结合了传统专家手工工艺与开拓性的生产技术，以确保每个品类臻至完美，无论是粗革皮鞋或是切尔西靴子。 Santoni不惜将大量精力投入采购最抢手珍稀的皮革和面料，以确保每种风格有着尽善尽美的舒适，实用耐用以及时尚美观。这些品质在最新限量珍藏版上得到最为完美的体现。所有设计和材料监督都由AndreaSantoni亲自担当。从精心挑选的皮革到最终打上品牌火漆，每一步皆由手工费时费力完成。鞋子制作上几乎不计时间成本，皮革着色超过15道工序，这证明了Santoni对于工艺的重视程度。然而，意大利皮革并非只是新近在富人圈中流行。复古及古董皮具流传有

玻璃之城

几百年来穆拉诺的玻璃制造商，因不懈追求创新与卓越而享誉盛名。Fiona McKenzie Johnston带您一探究竟从威尼斯主岛乘坐一小段汽艇，就能来到10世纪以来，因玻璃制品远近扬名，而被称为“玻璃岛”的穆拉诺。 “如果没有这些可以像古老珠宝一样反射烛光的透光吊灯，威尼斯就不会是今日的威尼斯。”编辑、造型师、艺术家与设计师 Marko Matysik表示。 “精湛的手工制作技艺，使每件作品都独特得让我惊叹。” 穆拉诺玻璃制品的杰出代表遍布世界各地，不仅广为出口，还有不少热衷于此的收藏家，以及将在穆拉诺学到的技艺用于自身作品的艺术家们：譬如曾获 globalblue.com

得 Fulbright奖学金，在Venini工厂学习的Dale Chihuly，他制作的举世闻名的吊灯，就悬挂在伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆的中庭。 “威尼斯人从文艺复兴时期起就被视为玻璃艺术家”Corning玻璃博物馆的欧洲玻璃展的策展人Audrey Whitty 解释道。 “他们发展出超绝的工艺与玻璃制作配方。他们的作品受到高度追捧，并屡受模仿。今日，穆拉诺岛孕育出的许多技艺与配方，已经在当代艺术家们的玻璃作品中广受运用。” 玻璃由二氧化硅制成，其在高温下会变成液体。等到其再次冷却之前，就是手工艺人们展示技艺的时刻，也是穆拉诺的玻璃制造商们，运用精湛技艺与想象力、点石成金的时刻。其中沿用至今的百年古老技术，包括金色斑点玻璃工艺（av vent ur ina），切割多色片工艺（millefiori）和不透明奶状玻璃工艺（ lattimo ）等，还有一些技术在今日得到了进一步改良，譬如对比色分层工艺（ sommerso ）。由于多数的优秀工场不允许外人参观——毕竟他们是制作玻璃的生意人，而非娱乐业服务者— — 学习这些技术

147 的最佳途径，是在穆拉诺的玻璃博物馆（Museo del Vetro），里面陈列着琉璃制造的历史，以及从古埃及时代至今的玻璃制品样品。自然，玻璃制作不仅仅是吊灯制作而已。慕拉诺数不胜数的工厂与独立艺术工作室中，出产着品类不胜枚举的玻璃制品：从优雅的餐具、别具一格的雕像、纸镇、烛台、珠宝首饰、高脚杯、到造型各异的饰品。其中最响当当的名字之一是Antica Vetreria Fratelli Toso，由Toso 家族自1854年经营至今。今日品牌主要致力于推广Fratelli Toso系列，并且与诸多私人收藏者、拍卖行与博物馆保持着紧密联系。1866年开业的Pauly，同样提供种类广泛的照明器具与彩色装饰酒杯，醒酒器与水壶等产品。想寻求更现代、或更与众不同的作品，不妨留意成立于1989年的Berengo工作室，他们将穆拉诺玻璃制作的传统与当代艺术相融合。另一个经常与著名艺术家和设计师合作的重要名字则是Venini，就是上文中提到Chilhuly受培训的地点。多年来，品牌与不少重量级人物进行合作，包括Giò Ponti与Carlo Scarpa等，更多的伙伴关系也在不断磋商中。Venini 同样提供定制服务，可以为您的家、甚至您的游艇打造独一无二的产品。这个列表还在不断延伸。另一家提供室内设计服务与室内装饰品零售的公司Sa lv i at i，也与许多艺术家们进行合作。 Barovier & Toso则精于专业照明，无论是吊灯，壁灯还是落地灯；F e r r o M u r a n o 提供从玻璃碗到玻璃楼梯扶手的一系列产品；Seguso则提供灯具、玻璃杯、花瓶，甚至家具（玻璃腿桌子）产品。 Formia International是时尚凝聚之地，他们为Roberto Cavalli与Armani Casa设计产品；其他值得关注的品牌还有 Simone Cenedese，Alessandro Mandruzzato，Gabbiani等……从信誉牢靠的玻璃制作商那里购买产品的最佳方法，就是登陆穆拉诺玻璃官方网站，上面列有详细的商标名，工厂和批发商的

完整名录。有一点可以确定的是，所有人都可在慕拉诺找到自己心仪的产品，而无论你买了什么，带回家的都是一片威尼斯的历史。 “购买娇弱的香槟杯的冲动始终让人难以抗拒， ”Matysik说道，那何不干脆向诱惑投降呢？ muranoglass.com

解密奢华

意大利历史悠久的商场，不只带来令人欣羡的时尚与首饰精品。跟随 Beth Druce 一起揭示这持久不衰魅力背后的秘密在这个零售空间以光速演化的时代，意大利那些历史悠久的商场，宛如社会与城市文化中久远伫立的灯塔，可以追溯至 19世纪。他们是许多奢侈品牌的家，也是意大利社会与创意中心，难怪其吸引力能经久不衰。 “我们把商场命名为il salotto [客厅] ，因为它是俊俏的人们会面、购物与用餐的场所。” 意大利本土领先的创意机构设计总监 Giulio Ruggieri，在谈到米兰的埃马努埃莱二世长廊时解释道。这座以国王的名字命名的商场，在150年前由 Giuseppe Mengoni设计与建造，是意大利最古老、最负盛名的商场。商场由两条以八角形相接的玻璃拱廊组成，其拱形玻璃和铸铁屋顶对之后若干年的零售空间设计，有着深远的影响；无论是玻璃屋顶还是‘galleria’这个词，都在今日的购物中心设计中屡见不鲜。1913年Mario Prada正是在这里开设了首家店铺，贩卖皮具系列，今日这家店仍在经营。Prada与Louis Vuitton一起，在中心广场气势宏伟的八角形空间内占据着重要一席。翁贝托长廊的历史可以追溯到19世纪后期，它正位于圣卡罗歌剧院对面，是由Emanuele Rocco为当时城市复兴或整治设计中的一部分。16根金属肋骨支撑

148 起的玻璃穹顶高而通风，经过多年的闲置之后，它再次回到了那不勒斯生活的中心舞台，容纳着一家精品艺术度假酒店、商店与咖啡馆。规模小一点的还有罗马 Galleria Alberto Sordi购物长廊（从前的（Galleria Colonna），其于1922年开业，以华丽的新艺术风格彩色玻璃而引人注目。它比起米兰和那不勒斯的同僚更为温和，除了拥有众多时尚与配饰品牌外还有一家书店，同时也是热门且迷人的聚会场所。如果所有意大利历史悠久的商场在招揽国家精英时都打成平手，那么它的埃马努埃莱二世拱廊的顾客群体最为显赫，其中的许多人也频繁光顾Savini，这个传奇餐厅从1884年发布起就声名雷动。Giacomo Puccini，Giuseppe Verdi Frank Sinatra，Ava Gardner和 Grace Kelly都是Savani的著名食客，查理卓别林曾有一番著名的评论， “我从来没有吃得这么好过。”邻近的酒吧Zucca与Cafè BIFFI同样也有众多明星追随，后者开业于1867年，由意大利王室的家族糕点师 Paolo Bif创建。这些流行圣地与时装屋们并肩而立，像是G uc c i（品牌拥有自己的咖啡吧，可以在此享有具有独家标记的巧克力）和Tod's“Savini这样的老住户为其平添浪漫色彩，珠宝店则帮助维持尊贵威名， ” Ruggieri说道。然而，意大利的知名商场的发展史上并非没有争议性时刻。在20世纪90年代出现了对于排他性理念的动摇，出现在商场中的麦当劳就是让人出乎意料的现象之一。虽说许多店铺纷纷倒闭，但这座汉堡巨头仍然盘踞了20年，直到2012 年其续约要求被拒绝。不少人包括Ruggieri松了口气： “这个城市似乎已确定了其重塑文化遗产的目标。” 诸如此类的文化遗产包括Prada推出的，纪念品牌创立第一间精品店100周年的Prada Galleria项目。新开设的男装店铺，包括一间餐厅和致力于推广当代艺术的Prada基金会服务的展览空间。 globalblue.com

该项目的目标是重新连接品牌与其生发于米兰的根源，也同时加强了店铺与艺术世界、时尚和上流社会的关系，而这正是品牌声誉与历史遗产建立的基础。零售和卓越文化之间的合作关系正在日益增多，Ruggieri自称为一个充满诱惑、绝无仅有与激动人心的购物场所，但抛开这一切不谈，它一个鲜艳夺目的地方。

60: All In The Detail ディテールがすべて優れた職人技に非の打ちどころのないデザイン、イタリアの高級革製洋品ブランドが世界中の男性にうけているのも不思議はない。ルーリー・プリチャードがレポートする。何世紀も前から、「メイド・イン・イタリア」といえば一際優れた品質を意味してきた。通はこの国の職人が持つ伝統技能を常に高く評価してきたが、その職人たちが今、従来にも増してその才能を最高の革製紳士洋品の生産に注いでいる。靴から帽子、カバン、ベルト、財布、旅行カバンに至るまで、イタリアの手作り革製品はさらなる贅沢の極みに達している。イタリアのサクセスストーリーの一つがチェレリーニだ。シルヴァーノ・チェレリーニが1950年代初頭に設立したこのブランドは、少額の遺産を元手に買ったミシン一台と獣皮一枚から出発した。10 年後、チェレリーニとその妻は事業を拡大し、当時のフィレンツェの最富裕層を相手に、革のハンドバッグや旅行カバンを作り始める。現在このブランドを率いるのは創業者の

娘アレッサンドラだが、比類のない品質に対する両親のこだわりを持ち続けることに心を砕いている。チェレリーニが初めてカバンを作った時の作業手順の多くは、今も変わっていない。革は全て同社の経験豊かな職人が手でカットし、続くトリミングも手作業で丁寧に行う。その後の縫製過程では、製造技術の進歩の助けを借りている。また、チェレリーニでは半世紀以上も前と同じレベルのパーソナライゼーション・サービスを今も提供している。仔牛革、裏地、糸、金具は幅広い選択肢があり、自分だけのイタリア革の傑作を誂えてもらえる。同じく家族経営のアトリエで「イタリア最高」を自称するのは、サントーニだ。アンドレア・サントーニが1975年に創業して以来、ミラノ製手作り靴の傑作をいくつも生み出して来た。創業から数十年を経て現在二代目が舵を取るサントーニは、イタリア生まれの靴メーカーとしては国内有数の規模に成長したが、「品質」、「ディテールへのこだわり」、「もっぱら手作業」という基本的な価値観は変わらず持ち続けている。ブランドの二大柱である「革新」と「伝統」は、仕事の基礎として今も揺るぎない。近年はブローグでもチェルシーブーツでも、一足一足の靴のフィット感を極めるために、伝統に根差した職人の技

150 と先駆的な生産技術とを組み合わせている。どのスタイルでもデザインが粋で、しかも履き心地が良く実用的で耐久性の高いものを作るために、最も珍重される皮や生地の調達にも余念がない。そうした努力がありありと見てとれるのが、同ブランドの最新限定コレクションだ。デザインも材料も、アンドレア・サントーニが自ら吟味している。厳選された革のカットから最後にサントーニのマークの焼印を入れるまでの全ての工程を手で行い、一足を作るのに時間の制限はない。革の着色過程一つでも15回以上色を重ねなければならないものがあり、それを思えば、サントーニの生産には依然として職人の技が最も重要なことがわかる。ところで、裕福な男性のお気に入りは何も新品のイタリア製品だけではない。ヴィンテージや修復されたアンティークの革製品も、美しいイタリアンレザーに投資したい人の間で人気が高まっている。ミラノのベルナルディーニは、手間暇かけて修復された珍しいアンティーク物が一杯だ。この店はオーナーのマックス・ベルナルディーニが1996年に開店した。父親がイタリアの大富豪向けの高級アンティーク輸入に携わっていたことがきっかけだ。バーテンダーが常駐する感じのいい店内には、プラダやグッチといったブランド製のヴィンテージのトランクやスーツケース、バニティケースなど、巧みに入手した珍品を折衷したコレクションが展示されている。その多くは、20世紀はじめのアフリカ探検時代初期にヨーロッパの富裕な探検家用に作られたものだ。品揃えの多様さと価値の高さは、イタリアの高級革製品作りの長い歴史をまざまざと証明している。現代の男性にとって、イタリア革製洋品は長持ちするスタイルへの投資であるだけでなく、職人技を駆使したもの作りと、昔から真の着こなし上手の特徴で globalblue.com

あり、本当の贅沢に対するイタリア人のこだわりの印でもある個々人に合わせたパーソナライゼーションの豊かな伝統について、興味深い洞察を与えてくれるものでもあるのは確かだ。 cellerini.it、santonishoes.com、 bernardinimilano.it

68: A Touch Of Glass ガラスの感触ムラーノのガラスメーカーは、革新と卓越した品質で定評がある。その名声は数世紀にわたって築き上げてきた実績の賜物だ。フィオナ・マッケンジー・ジョンストンが説明する。

ベニス本島からヴァポレット（水上バス）に乗ると、まもなくムラーノ島に着く。ここは10世紀から続くガラス産地で、「ガラス島」としても知られる。「オールドカットの宝石のようにロウソクの光にきらめく透明感あるシャンデリアを語らずして、ベニスを語ることはできない」と、エディターでスタイリスト、アーティスト、デザイナーでもあるマルコ・マティシクはいう。「精妙な手作りで、一つ一つの作品に独特の味わいがあるところが素晴らしいのです。」ムラーノガラスは逸品が世界各国に散在する。広く輸出されている上に熱心なコレクターがいるからだ。また、多くの

151 アーティストがムラーノで学んだテクニックを作品に応用している。例えばデイル・チフーリだ。フルブライト奨学金を得てヴェニーニで修業した彼の見事なシャンデリアは、ロンドンのヴィクトリア＆アルバート美術館の吹抜け空間を飾っている。コーニングガラス博物館ヨーロッパガラス担当学芸員のオードリー・ウィティいわく、「ベニス（ベネチア）人はルネッサンス時代からガラスの匠と言われてきました。優れた技法とガラス原料調合法を開発した彼らの作品は人気が高く、模倣品も多く作られました。今日でも、ムラーノ島で開発された技法や調合法の多くが、現代ガラス芸術家の作品に用いられています。」ガラスの原料はシリカだ。シリカは高温で液状化し、冷える過程のある段階で展性を帯びる。ムラーノのガラス職人はそこをとらえて、優れた手腕と想像力を発揮するのだ。何百年も昔の技法で現在でも用いられているのは、金色の微粒子を混ぜたガラス（アヴェンチュリーナ）、複数色のガラス棒を束ねて輪切りにしたガラス（ミッレフィオーリ）、不透明な乳白ガラス（ラッティモ）など。比較的最近の技法としては、対照的な色を層状に重ねる（ソンメルソ）などがある。有名工房の多くは自由に見学できないため（訪問者を楽しませることより、ガラス作りがやはり本分なので）、こうした技法について詳しく知るには、ムラーノ・ムゼオ・デル・ヴェトロ（ガラス博物館）を訪ねるのが一番だ。ここでは、ガラス作りの歴史をはじめ、古代エジプトから現代までのサンプルも展示している。もちろん、シャンデリアが全てではない。ムラーノの工場や数多くあるアーティストの個人スタジオでは、エレガントな食器類、非凡な置物、文鎮、燭台、宝飾品、足つきグラス類、数々の装身小物まで、実に様々な品も製作している。最も有名なメーカーの一つは、1854年の創業以来トーゾ一族が経営するアンティカ・ヴェ

トレリア・フラテッリ・トーゾだ。現在は主にフラテッリ・トーゾコレクションのプロモーションに力を入れており、世界中の個人コレクター、オークション業者、美術館と深い関わりを持つ。パウリは1866 年創業で、幅広い種類の照明器具の他、色ガラスや装飾ガラスのグラスやデカンタ、ジャグを作っている。一方、ベレンゴ・スタジオはもっと現代的で変わった感じのものを目指して、ムラーノのガラス作りの伝統と現代芸術を合体させるべく1989年に創設された。先ほどチフーリが修行した場として触れたヴェニーニも、著名なアーティストやデザイナーと組むことにを力を入れてきた。これまでに、ジオ・ポンティやカルロ・スカルパをはじめ数人の巨匠とコラボを実現し、常に新たなパートナーシップを開発している。自宅（あるいは自艇）用に何かユニークなものが欲しいという人のために、ヴェニーニでは誂えサービスも行っている。他にもまだまだある。市販の装飾用品に加えインテリアサービスも提供するもう一つのメーカーがサルヴィアーティで、同社も数々のデザイナーと提携している。バロヴィエール＆トーゾは照明機器専門で、シャンデリアから壁掛け照明、フロア照明まで揃っている。フェッロ・ムラーノはボウルからガラスの手すりまでありとあらゆるものを作っているし、セグーゾも照明、グラス、花瓶から家具（ガラスの足がついたテーブル）に至るまで多彩に提供している。ファッション通なら、見るべきはやはりフォルミア・インターナショナルだ。同社はロベルト・カヴァリとアルマーニ・カーザのムラーノガラス製品をデザインしている。その他、シモーネ・チェネデーゼ、アレッサンドロ・マンドルッザト、ガッビアーニ等々、リストは尽きない。買おうとしているガラスが信頼できるメーカー製かどうか調べるには、ムラーノガラスのウェブサイトが最適だ。商標の詳細や工場と取扱店の一覧を掲載している。

152 誰でも何かしら目ぼしいものが見つかることと、何を買うにしろ、ベニスの歴史の一かけらを持ち帰ることになるということは確かだ。「いつだって、繊細なシャンペングラスを買いたいという衝動には抗しがたいものがある」と、マティシクは言う。それなら、いっそ誘惑に負けてしまったら？ muranoglass.com

76: Undercover Luxury 高級アーケードイタリアの歴史あるアーケードには、羨望のファッションや宝飾品などが並ぶブティックがあるが、魅力はそれだけではない。人を惹きつけて止まないそうした高級アーケードの秘密を、べス・ドゥルースが探る。小売店舗スペースが目まぐるしく移り変わる時代にあって、イタリアの歴史的アーケードは1800年代から続く社会・都市文化の象徴だ。多くの高級ブランドを生んだこれらのアーケードは、この国の社交界や創作家のネットワークの中心であり、それが不朽の魅力につながっている。「私たちはイル・サロット（リビングルーム）と呼んでいます。美しい人々が出会い、買い物や食事をする所です。」イタリア生まれで一流広告代理店デザインディレクターのジュリオ・ルジエリは、ミラノのガッレリア・ヴィットリオ・エマヌエーレ II についてこう話す。およそ150年前にジュゼッペ・メンゴーニが設計・建設し、当時の王にちなんで名付けられたこのガッレリアは、イタリアで最も古く、有名なアーケードだ。ガラスの丸天井を持つ二つのアーケードから成り、その交差点が八角形になったデザインだが、ガラスと鋳鉄でできたアーチ状の屋根は、後世の小売空間設計に影響を与えてきた。ガラスの天井も globalblue.com

「ガッレリア」という呼び方も、現代のショッピングセンターのデザインに顕在する。ここは1913年にマリオ・プラダが第一号店の立地として選んだ場所で、選り抜きの革製品を販売したその店は今も健在だ。プラダはルイ・ヴィトンとともに、ガッレリア中央の堂々たる八角形の空間に陣取っている。ナポリでは、19世紀末に遡るガッレリア・ウンベルトI がサン・カルロ歌劇場の向いにある。エマヌエーレ・ロッコが当時進められていた市のリサナメント（再開発）の一環として設計したものだ。天井が高く軽快感のあるこのアーケードは、16本の金属の肋材に支えられたガラスのドームを頂く。長年老朽化が進むままにされていたが、現在はナポリ人の生活の中心的存在として復活し、ブティックホテルのアートリゾートホテルの他、店舗やカフェが入居している。一方、1922年にオープンしたローマのガッレリア・アルベルト・ソルディ（旧ガッレリア・コロンナ）は規模は小さいが、華麗なアールヌーボーのステンドグラスで有名だ。ミラノやナポリのアーケードに比べて控えめながら、ファッションやアクセサリーの各種ブランドと本屋があり、チャーミングな待ち合わせ場所として人気がある。イタリアの歴史あるアーケードはどこも国内の名士を惹きつけているが、著名人を常連にもつことで名高いのは何といってもガッレリア・ヴィットリオ・エマヌエーレII だ。中でも、1884年の開業以来伝説的な評判を誇るサヴィーニには、多くが足繁く訪れている。このレストランで食事した著名人は、ジャコモ・プッチーニ、ジュゼッペ・ヴェルディ、フランク・シナトラ、エヴァ・ガードナー、グレース・ケリーなど。チャーリー・チャップリンが「こんな素晴らしい食事はこれまでしたことがない」と評したことは、よく知られている。近くにあるバール・ズッカとカフェ・ビッフィも、同様に有名人のファンが多い。カフェ・ビッフィは1867年に、当時イ

153 タリア王家のお抱え菓子職人だったパオロ・ビッフィが開店した。こうした人気店がグッチ（特徴的なロゴの入ったチョコレートが楽しめるカフェもある）やトッズなどのファッションブランドの合間にあるところに、結構そそられる。「サヴィーニのような古くからのテナントのおかげであのロマンチックな雰囲気が醸し出され、宝石店も名声を保つことができるのです」と、ルジエリはいう。とはいえ、このイタリア一有名なアーケードも、これまで論争と無縁だったわけではない。高級感を追求する意志が 1990年代に一時揺らいだことがあり、マクドナルドをはじめ、ちょっと意外な店がいくつかガッレリアに出店した。多くはその後姿を消したが、マクドナルドは2012 年に店舗賃貸契約の更新を拒否されるまで20年間営業していた。このハンバーガーチェーンが去って、ルジエリとしては胸をなでおろす思いだった。「この街は文化的遺産を取り戻すことを目標に掲げたようです。」そんな文化的遺産はプラダという形で現れる。同ブランドが、第一号店の開店100周年を記念してプラダ・ガッレリアプロジェクトを立ち上げたのだ。新たに開店したメンズウェアの店には、レストランと、現代芸術の振興を図るプラダ財団専用の展示スペースが設けられている。このプロジェクトは、プラダブランドをミラノのルーツと再びつなぎたいというのが動機だったが、ガッレリアとアート界やファッション界、上流社会との関係を強化する結果にもなっている。ガッレリアの評判は、いろいろな意味でそうした関係を礎に築かれてきたのだ。こうして、小売業と文化の間にこの上なく強いパートナーシップが生まれ、ガッレリアは魅力的で高級感とインスピレーションに満ちたショッピングの場、そして（ルジエリが力を込めて言うように）「何より、見られたい場」になっている。
