This season, two Italian brands change that: artistic Missoni has teamed up with acclaimed footwear manufacturer Diemme on a range of stand-out hiking boots in brown, off-white, tomato and navy blue Tuscan suede and leather. The boots’ traditional style is enhanced by Missoni’s signature patterned knit on the laces and ankle panels. Taking Diemme’s classic Roccia Vet style into the future, this is a boot that is both practical and eye-catching for autumn/winter 2016/17. sm Missoni, Piazza di Spagna 78, 00187 Rome, +39 06 679 2555, missoni.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 90

he British novelist George Eliot once described Rome as ‘the city of visible history’. It’s hard to argue with this. The city of the past is imprinted on the city of today – a past that has made Rome so iconic that even those who have never visited still feel 106 116

they know its character and what it has to offer. But, while Rome’s major landmarks are some of the most impressive in the world, if you stray a little from the beaten track, you’ll discover another side to the Eternal City: one that’s a little less known, but equally appealing.

Don’t think that the obvious choices are the only ones when it comes to Roman attractions; and you might also want to avoid the crowds While there is no escaping the pull of Rome’s best-known sights, there is something to be said for approaching these from a different angle. Did you know, for example, that the Vatican gardens are open to the public? You’ll need to book in advance; well worth it to experience some of the most beautiful green spaces in the country. If the Colosseum is top of your list, book an after-dark tour, which quite literally shows the enormous space in a different light. And if Saint Peter’s Basilica charms you, head to the Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta and take a look through the keyhole in the priory’s main door. A poorly kept secret, you’ll likely have to queue for this one, but you’ll be rewarded by a stunning view of the basilica, perfectly framed by the form of a hedge-lined avenue. It’s really quite something. Above (from top): the Colosseum at night; the Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Don’t think that the obvious choices are the only ones when it comes to ancient Roman attractions. Monte Testaccio may not have the glamour of the Pantheon but it is a unique ancient site: an artificial mound formed from fragments of ancient amphorae (jars), which date from as early as AD 140, possibly even earlier. At its base, a number of bars and restaurants have been built into the mound. We recommend Flavio al Velavevodetto, where glass panels reveal the interior of the hill, and Checchino dal 1887, where you can visit the wine cellar, its walls made up of these ancient pots. Ostia Antica is another often overlooked site. Half an hour outside Rome, the port of the ancient city once sat at the mouth of the river Tiber, and, though it no longer meets the sea, the old harbour is notable for the impressive preservation of its structures, as well as beautiful frescoes and mosaics. Or why not discover Appia Antica, one of the oldest paved roads in history? While we wouldn’t recommend walking its length, you can see its beginnings at the Baths of Caracalla.

ALTERNATIVE ARTEFACTS Rome’s museums are understandably one of its biggest attractions, and if crowds aren’t your thing there are plenty of options. The Centrale Montemartini provides an alternative for those enamoured with ancient Roman sculpture. The museum is sited in a former power station and this juxtaposition of ancient and modern gives a new perspective on this most classic of mediums. Not that Rome is home to classical art alone. The Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo, popularly known as Maxxi, is Italy’s first national museum dedicated to contemporary art. Its building, designed by celebrated architect Zaha Hadid, is as striking as the works it houses.

The other pull of Rome is, of course, the food. From pizza to pasta, gelato to tiramisù, Italian food is loved the world over, and where better to sample it than the nation’s capital? From morning to night, the city is bursting with places to eat, drink and be merry, and the way to know the ones to choose is to do as the locals do. Start your day with a frothy coffee from Castroni on Via Cola di Rienzo. Get
your cappuccino fix in now, as Romans never drink milky coffee after 11am. For an informal foodie fix, try Necci dal 1924, a stylish, welcoming bar serving local, mostly organic ingredients. Necci is located in the trendy Pigneto neighbourhood so you’ll be dining among Rome’s cool crowd. For a post-lunch treat, Linari on Via Nicola Zabaglia is deservedly popular with Romans; the homemade cakes and pastries on offer here never disappoint.

WINING AND DINING For something more formal, Armando al Pantheon is a modern trattoria embracing ancient foods. Serving ‘cucina povera’, which translates into English as ‘food of the poor’, the restaurant is part of the same movement that has seen bone marrow and offal re-emerge on menus across Europe. Revisiting neglected ingredients that are abundant and readily available, the chefs present some of the most delicious dishes in Rome. This is where the local foodies are eating. Though when it comes to desserts, everyone knows the best tiramisù in Rome is found on Via della Croce at Pompi.
The Romans love wine, and the selection at Il Goccetto on Via dei Banchi Vecchi is demonstrably good enough to queue for. If you’re in the vicinity of the Colosseum, Enoteca Provincia Romana is equally loved by locals. Italians make fine beer too, and Antica Birreria Peroni serves the best local brews. However, with its view over the bustling Trastevere district, itself well worth a visit, Il Baretto is our bar of choice in Rome. Il Baretto serves fine wines, cold beers and cocktails alongside bar snacks and light bites; this friendly, atmospheric bar really comes alive after hours, and is the perfect place to end a day of exploration

f you come to Italy to shop, you’ll certainly be looking to invest in something sourced and designed in the country; to purchase a true piece of luxury that bears the Made In Italy merchandise mark. And there’s no better brand to seek out on your trip than Il Bisonte. Not only does the company produce stunning leather bags, purses and smaller items in the heart of Tuscany, it also has a great story behind it and a charismatic fgurehead in the form of founder Wanny Di Filippo.

making them a must for those looking to invest in a product that they won’t see on the arm of every other style fan in their home city. ‘I’ve always loved to make things with my hands,’ says Wanny Di Filippo. ‘When I was 20 I got together with a group of young people from all over Europe. They taught me how to make small objects and that’s where I got the idea of working leather.’ It was in Florence that Di Filippo took the skills he had learned and turned them into a business. ‘I happened to land in Florence for a series of personal Previous page: leathercrafting in Il Bisonte’s atelier Above: the brand’s Rome storefront
66 | F E AT U R E S
reasons, then I got involved in this adventure, starting to make the frst bags by hand in 1969 in a small shop in the heart of Florence, just a short walk from where our main shop stands today.’ Di Filippo joined forces with another young Florentine, Luciano Masini, to develop the business. ‘When I began, I didn’t have the faintest idea what would happen to me or my ideas,’ he recalls. ‘I started in a small basement on Via del Parione – which still exists today, the frst historic Il Bisonte shop – together with a boy who was even younger than me, Luciano, who
still works with the company. I can only say I’m happy I made one of my dreams come true.’ Part of keeping the Il Bisonte dream alive is maintaining positive collaborative relationships, something the brand has honed to a fne art. ‘We have been working for 45 years with the same suppliers, both for leather and fttings, and they are nearly all Tuscan. Mutual respect has always kept us together professionally,’ Di Filippo explains. ‘It takes hard work to create solid and lasting things, whether a handmade bag or a link between people. This is our secret.’

In striving to create mutually benefcial relationships, Il Bisonte has stayed true to the people and principles it has worked with for 45 years. The same can be said of its aesthetic, which has endured throughout its history. ‘This is why people like Il Bisonte; despite everything, it has never changed,’ explains Di Filippo. ‘Underlying every creation, there is faithfulness to the lines and historical materials identifying the brand.’ The bufalo motif has also prevailed throughout Il Bisonte’s history. ‘I have always been fascinated by bufaloes, huge beasts
which are at the same time fragile, defenceless, genuine. I fell in love with them, and started making a collection of various items depicting bufaloes,’ says Di Filippo. The logo has become a mark of quality for the brand, a stamp that those in the know can instantly recognise as distinguishing an Il Bisonte product. Though the brand’s home is Florence, it also has signifcant connections to Rome, with two stores in the city. ‘Everybody loves Rome and I love it too,’ says Di Filippo. ‘Rome is youthful, it’s big and it’s full of

weekend bags that combine leather and tweed. ‘Next to our traditional cowhide, we have placed diferent, special materials like the striped fabric used for deckchairs,’ says Di Filippo. ‘We like to investigate and experiment, and to add to our material par excellence: vegetable-tanned cowhide, which identifes us around the world.’ When it comes to plans for the future,
Il Bisonte will be sticking with its winning formula. ‘We want to go on being what we are, with the same sincerity with which we have been working the last 45 years,’ says the label’s founder. ‘Our product quality will continue to be the core of our business for the next 45 years.

SCENT FROM ITALY
Paola Bottai, a leading Rome perfume maker, works with classic Italian-grown ingredients in her distinctive creations. She tells Josh Sims about her longtime love of scent and why she thinks Italian perfumes are the fragrances of the future

aola Bottai likes to think of her training in fragrance design as lifelong. ‘I always had a passion for scent in general. When I was growing up, whether I smelled something “disgusting” or really appealing would have a big impact on my mood,’ she says. ‘Scents are a deep source of our memories too, which is both scary and fascinating.’ It is only fve years ago that the Romebased perfumer graduated from her training in fragrance design – in Grasse, southern France, perfume’s spiritual home. She has already worked with diverse names such as the Carthusia perfume label, car company Mini, and Bullfrog, a tiny but widely acclaimed Milanese barber shop. Other projects include a ‘super-cool collaboration’ with the Cantina Tramin wine company that brought together the worlds of wine and perfumes. ‘I never send out a CV or anything,’ says this strongly independent designer. ‘Clients have come to me because they have smelled one of my fragrances. That’s how it should be.’
Paola Bottai has established a reputation for the simplicity of her creations, using classic ingredients in an unfussy, modern way

Above (from top): Paola Bottai created the scent for Bullfrog’s Agnostico All-In-One Balm; the perfumer in her studio
Although many fragrances have been launched with Bottai’s name proudly attached to the project, she has yet to create her own signature fragrance, though one is in the distant pipeline. This is in part due to some disillusionment about the current marketingled state of the industry – something she knows about, having originally studied communications before working in the music business for some years – and the hype around fragrances, not least the emphasis on fashionability. ‘It may be fashionable, but it may also smell disgusting on you. Why would you wear that just because it’s “fashionable”?’ she laughs. ‘There’s also been this big wave of niche perfumers over recent years, often brands that last no more than six months. In fact, there are so many niche fragrances now, you can’t call them niche. And niche just tends to mean “expensive”. Then you get fragrances launching with mysterious ingredients like “blue rose”. What is blue rose?’ Buyers of a Bottai fragrance are unlikely to fnd anything so pretentious. The perfumer has established a reputation for the simplicity of her creations, using classic ingredients – vetiver, amber, patchouli, bergamot – in an unfussy, modern way. You will not fnd any self-consciously alternative ingredients in her fragrances. ‘I take a less-is-more approach,’ she says. ‘When you smell a fragrance I design, you can smell what has gone into it. I don’t want to scare anyone with what they might fnd in a composition.’ Bottai is particularly acclaimed for her fragrances for men. ‘It’s a more challenging market to work in because men are so much more faithful to the fragrance they already wear,’ she says. ‘That said, I think the distinction often made between a “masculine” fragrance and a “feminine” one is misleading. There are just good fragrances and not-so-good ones. Rose is classically feminine, even if its symbolism of love and passion is not the same all over the world, but I like to work with contrasts. That’s why I think rose on a man can be just great.’ Perhaps above all one might describe a Bottai fragrance as distinctly Italian. Her atelier is in the capital and she grew up in the Parioli neighbourhood.

Paola Bottai focuses on perfume ingredients native to the Italian countryside; she is keen to be part of an international reappraisal of the Italian fragrance business
packaging are made in Italy; unusually, when she prepares samples for clients, they come complete with her own designs for these too. Where possible, she uses ingredients native to the Italian countryside. In fact, she is keen to be part of an international reappraisal of the Italian fragrance business. ‘Obviously Italy has a huge fashion economy, and the Made in Italy brand is so important in many ways. But people tend to think of France frst when they think of fragrances,’ she says. ‘Italy has a great history in making fragrances, which anyone really into fragrances will know; in Florence, for example, or in Venice, given that it was crucial to the trade of rare ingredients from the east to the west. Catherine de Medici efectively made Grasse as important to fragrance as it is.’ (The
Italian noblewoman, who became Queen of France, loved scented gloves and is said to have popularised the town’s perfume after she was given a pair of made in Grasse.) Bottai’s early experience of working for one of the corporate giants in the fragrance industry quickly convinced her that this path was not for her, despite the opportunity it ofered to make a name for herself. She prefers the relative anonymity of being the creative behind the scenes. But, like Italian fragrances, she is set to be better known in years to come. ‘I love fragrance,’ she says, ‘and not just the alcohol-based kind you wear. I like to play with fragrance in all of its forms – in face creams and body washes, for the home, even for the car. Fragrance has a whole world yet to really be developed’

Avoid Rome’s tourist-trap restaurants and discover the city’s lighter, healthier fare. Isabella Redmond Styles recommends some modern, fresh and vibrant options
It’s all too easy to come to Rome and feel disappointed with the food served in many of the restaurants close to key attractions. However, Rome enjoys an international reputation for its fantastic fresh ingredients and local cuisine, and many of the city’s restaurants are superbly skilled in showcasing these. It would be remiss to visit the city and not tuck into local delicacies like pizza bianca, spaghetti alla carbonara or spaghetti cacio e pepe. Offal is another traditional Roman favourite, globalblue.com
including the widely available coda alla vaccinara, an oxtail stew simmered with herbs, spices and vegetables. The city also caters well to the modern palate. In addition to internationally inspired eateries, organic and vegetable-based dining is also enjoying increasing popularity. It’s easier than ever before to find a restaurant that will whip up a cold-pressed juice or a quinoa salad – good news for those who have had one too many helpings of spaghetti alla carbonara.

GINGER
globalblue.com
Rome has an outstanding gastronomic history but is something of a latecomer when it comes to vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Ginger, a fashionable bistro that specialises in organic, veggie-centric dishes, opened in the city in 2012 and has been a popular haunt for the health-conscious ever since. Its motto is ‘sapore e salute’ (tasty and healthy) and the restaurant’s bright white, modern interior incorporates vibrant, decorative fruit and vegetable displays. There’s an excellent juice bar and the Mediterranean menu caters to the breakfast, lunch and dinner crowd. Ginger is focused on organic farming; 70% of ingredients used here are from certified organic origin and 80% are plant-based or raw. Look out for the steamer basket selection, which includes dishes such as spicy organic meatballs or cod with black organic quinoa, cooked in a high-pressure steamer which allows the natural ingredients to retain their nutrients.

ROSATO Rosato was founded in the Tuscan town of Arezzo, known for its goldsmiths, and the brand’s jewellery is synonymous with Italian quality and elegance. Designer Simona Rosato skilfully creates feminine pieces that are highly covetable, using gold, silver and precious stones. Her designs are intended to capture simple but meaningful moments in life and meant to be worn, collected, shared and loved.

Fratelli Rossetti has sought winter inspiration from the snowy landscapes of Doctor Zhivago, Boris Pasternak’s epic work of fiction. Featuring plenty of velvet and lavish embroidery, this season’s standout styles from the Italian shoemaker include the bestselling Brera loafer, reimagined with organza tassels and gilt detailing, as well as an ornate assortment of pumps, stacked heel slip-ons and slippers. Expect a luscious range of colours and intricate passementerie, all in keeping with Fratelli’s Rossetti’s international reputation for supreme craftsmanship.

TAKE A WALK
LOCAL TIP
DID YOU KNOW?
Those who are feeling active should take a walk or jog along the Via dei Fori Imperiali and enjoy watching the sun come up behind the Colosseum. Begin at Piazza Venezia and then proceed up the wonderfully straight and wide Via dei Fori Imperiali, passing the national monument to Victor Emmanuel, the first king of unified Italy, and the Roman Forum.
Bargain hunters and vintage lovers won’t mind getting up early to snap up the wide variety of clothes, posters and books available at Rome’s biggest and best flea market, which runs from 6am to 2pm every Sunday at Porta Portese. Mercato di Porta Portese, Piazza di Porta Portese, 00153 Rome
Rome was home to the world’s first ever shopping mall. Trajan’s Market, built by Emperor Trajan between around 107AD and 110 AD, was a multilevel complex selling groceries and other goods. This remarkably well-preserved market was designed by the architect Apollodorus of Damascus with a semi-circular facade flanked by columns that housed shops

ILARIA NISTRI Italian designer Ilaria Nistri graduated in law and worked for her family’s fabric business before embarking on her own fashion career. Nistri’s first collection was shown in Paris in 2006 and her designs were quickly snapped up by some of the world’s most respected boutiques, including Isetan in Tokyo. For autumn/winter 2016/17, the designer has explored the concept of reflection and mirrors. Unorthodox fabric combinations create a striking contrast of softness and rigidity, and architectural prints by artist Aitor Ortiz give the pieces a very modern appeal.

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 50: The Rome Less Travelled
Неизвестный Рим
Знаменитые красоты Рима стремятся полностью захватить внимание путешественника. Ханна Льюис исследует менее известные места итальянской столицы, от античных памятников до ресторанов, в которых обедают сами римляне Британская писательница Джордж Элиот однажды назвала Рим «зримым воплощением истории». С этим трудно спорить: город из прошлого повсюду проявляется в городе настоящего. Ведь это прошлое принесло Риму статус культового, так что даже тем, кто еще не бывал здесь, все равно знаком и его характер, и возможности. Главные достопримечательности Рима, globalblue.com
конечно, потрясающие, но если вы совсем немного отойдете от исхоженных маршрутов, то вам откроется совсем другой Вечный город. Другая точка зрения Обойтись без осмотра самых известных достопримечательностей Рима невозможно, зато можно посмотреть на них под непривычным углом. Например, знали ли вы, что сады Ватикана открыты для публики? Визит нужно забронировать заранее, но самые красивые в стране зеленые парки стоят этих усилий. Если в ваши планы входит Колизей, то отправляйтесь на ночную экскурсию: так вы в буквальном смысле увидите в другом свете его впечатляющее пространство. А если вас манит собор Святого Петра, то отправляйтесь на Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta и посмотрите на него через
107
замочную скважину главной двери монастыря. Это не самое секретное место, так что, скорее всего, придется постоять в очереди, но в качестве награды вы получите восхитительный вид на идеально обрамленный собор – и это ни с чем не сравнится. Встретиться с историей Но не стоит думать, что список древнеримских памятников ограничивается очевидными достопримечательностями. Может быть, Монте Тестаччо и не столь блистателен, как Пантеон, но это поистине уникальное место. Этот искусственный холм почти полностью состоит из остатков древних амфор, которые датируются начиная со 140 года нашей эры или даже ранее. У подножия холма работают бары и рестораны. Мы рекомендуем заглянуть в Flavio al Velavevodetto, где через стеклянные панели можно увидеть холм изнутри, и в Checchino dal 1887 с винным погребом, стены которого сделаны из старинной керамики. Остия Антика (Ostia Antica) – еще одно незаслуженно обделенное вниманием место, всего в получасе езды от центра Рима. Когда-то здесь, в устье реки Тибр, располагался порт. Сейчас здесь моря уже нет, но древняя гавань примечательна сохранившимися зданиями, чудесными фресками и мозаиками. Хорошая идея также побывать на Аппиевой дороге (Appia Antica) – одной из самых старых мощеных дорог в мире. Мы не станем рекомендовать проследовать весь путь, однако около Терм Каракалла можно взглянуть на самое начало дороги. Альтернативные артефакты Разумеется, римские музеи – в числе обязательных к посещению. Но если вам не по душе толпы туристов, то есть в итальянской столице и другие возможности. Например, Centrale Montemartini будет интересен всем
неравнодушным к древнеримской скульптуре. В этом здании раньше располагалась электростанция, и подобное сочетание древности и современности открывает новый взгляд на одно из самых традиционных видов искусства. Тем более, будет неправильным называть Рим хранителем только классической культуры. Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI Secolo, или Maxxi, – это первый национальный музей Италии, полностью посвященный современному искусству. Само здание, которое спроектировала Заха Хадид, впечатляет не меньше, чем произведения из музейной коллекции. Местные вкусы Еда, очевидно, достойна особого внимания в итальянской столице. От пиццы и пасты до желато и тирамису, – итальянская кухня славится на весь мир, и где же еще наслаждаться ею, как не в Риме? С утра до ночи в этом городе можно есть, пить и радоваться жизни. И едва ли существует более надежный способ выбрать лучшие заведения, чем поступать так же, как римляне. Начните день с пенистого кофе в Castroni на Via Cola di Rienzo. Свою порцию капучино лучше выпить утром, поскольку в Италии не принято пить кофе с молоком после 11 утра. Для неформального перекуса загляните в Necci – стильный и уютный бар, где готовят из местных и главным образом органических продуктов. Он расположен в модном районе Pigneto, так что ваш обед пройдет в окружении самых стильных римлян. На десерты после трапезы загляните в Linari на Via Nicola Zabaglia, который вполне заслуженно любят местные жители: домашние пироги и выпечка здесь вас точно не разочаруют. Ужин с вином На более официальный ужин можно отправиться в современную тратторию Armando al Pantheon. Она специализируется на античных блюдах в стиле «cucina povera» – «кухни для бедных». Ресторан оказался
108
в русле популярного в Европе движения и включил в меню блюда из костного мозга и потрохов. Эти ингредиенты доступны повсюду, но раньше их недооценивали. Теперь же шеф-повара создают из них красивые и вкусные блюда, за которыми сюда приходят местные гурманы. Но когда речь заходит о десертах, каждому известно, что лучший тирамису в Риме можно отведать на Via della Croce at Pompi. Римляне любят вино и считают винную карту в Il Goccetto на Via dei Banchi Vecchi настолько интересной, что выстраиваются в очереди у входа. Неподалеку от Колизея есть еще одно любимое местными заведение – Enoteca Provincia Romana. Славится Италия и своим пивом, попробовать лучшие сорта можно в Antica Birreria Peroni. Наш любимый бар – Il Baretto, из него открывается чудесный вид на шумный район Трастевере. Здесь всегда есть хорошие вина, холодное пиво и коктейли, а также снэки и легкие закуски. По-настоящему это место оживает, когда в городе заканчиваются рабочие часы, и нет места лучше, чтобы завершить день знакомства с Римом. 62: Look For The Bufalo
В поисках бизона
Красивая кожгалантерея и бизон в логотипе – стиль итальянской марки Il Bisonte остается узнаваемым многие годы. Ванни Ди Филиппо рассказывает Салли МакИлхоун историю успеха своей компании Если вы отправляетесь в Италию на шоппинг, то наверняка ищите нечто настоящее и отмеченное ярлыком Made In Italy. В этом случае идеальным выбором будет бренд Il Bisonte. Эта компания производит великолепные кожаные сумки, сумочки и небольшие аксессуары в самом сердце Тосканы, и у нее, помимо всего прочего, блестящая история и харизматичный основатель и руководитель Ванни Ди Филиппо. Сумки Il Bisonte созданы под влиянием актуальных трендов, но в то же время сохраняют оригинальный стиль марки. Это сочетание делает их globalblue.com
востребованными среди желающих увезти с собой такую вещь, которую в своем городе не встретить в руках всякого ценителя моды. «Я всегда любил делать что-нибудь своими руками, – рассказывает Ванни Ди Филиппо. – Когда мне было 20 лет, я общался с ребятами со всей Европы. Они привили мне интерес к небольшим предметам, и тогда мне в голову пришла идея работать с кожей». Именно во Флоренции Ди Филиппо учился и применял навыки в своем деле: «Так получилось, что по ряду личных причин я обосновался во Флоренции. Здесь и началось мое приключение: я начал делать первые сумки вручную в 1969 году. Тот маленький магазинчик находится в центре города – в паре шагов от нашего главного магазина сейчас». Для развития бизнеса Ди Филиппо объединил усилия с еще одним молодым флорентийцем Лучиано Масини: «Когда я только начинал, у меня не было ни малейшего понятия, что будет со мной или моими идеями. Я работал в маленьком подвале на Via del Parione, он существует до сих пор – это первый в истории магазин

Il Bisonte. Лучиано был еще моложе меня, и он до сих пор работает в компании. Все, что я могу сказать об этом, – я счастлив, что воплотил эту мечту». Мечта продолжает сбываться во многом благодаря умению выстраивать позитивные партнерские отношения, и в этом искусстве бренд достиг совершенства: «Мы сотрудничаем с одними и теми же поставщиками кожи и фурнитуры уже 45 лет, почти все из них работают в Тоскане. Взаимное уважение помогает нам держаться вместе в профессиональном смысле. А это большая работа – создавать надежные и прочные вещи, будь то сумка ручной работы или отношения между людьми. В этом и заключается наш секрет». Стремясь поддерживать взаимовыгодные отношения, компания Il Bisonte остается верной людям и идеям, с которыми работает 45 лет. То же самое можно сказать и об эстетике, не претерпевшей значительных изменений за всю историю компании: «За это люди и любят Il Bisonte: вопреки всему, наш бренд никогда не меняется, – объясняет Ди
Филиппо. – В основе каждой вещи лежит преданность силуэтам и историческим материалам, по которым марку узнают». Образ бизона также сопровождает компанию на всей ее истории: «Меня всегда впечатляли бизоны – эти огромные чудовища, которые на самом деле такие хрупкие, беззащитные, искренние. Я просто влюбился в этот образ и стал делать коллекцию различных предметов с изображением животного», – говорит Ди Филиппо. Логотип стал знаком качества бренда: по этому оттиску знающие люди легко узнают творение марки Il Bisonte. Родина бренда находится во Флоренции, тем не менее, особое значение имеют связи с Римом, где расположено два магазина: «Все любят Рим, и я тоже люблю его, – делится Ди Филиппо. – Рим – большой и молодой город, он полон жизни». Но где бы вы ни зашли магазин Il Bisonte, в Риме или Флоренции, вы непременно увидите там всю коллекцию осень-зима 2016/17: в нее вошли традиционные модели и необычные сумки из кожи коньячного оттенка, большие черные сумки для шоппинга и мини-корзинки для романтичного обеда, холдеры и папки для документов, рюкзаки на пряжке для городских путешествий и саквояжи из кожи и твида. «Наряду с традиционной телячьей кожей мы используем и другие, менее привычные материалы, например, полосатую ткань для шезлонгов, – комментирует основатель бренда. – Нам нравится исследовать и экспериментировать, это добавляет нашим материалами характерность: например, по телячьей коже, дубленой растительными экстрактами, нас узнают во всем мире». Если говорить о планах на будущее, то Il Bisonte собирается и впредь придерживаться своей выигрышной формулы: «Мы хотим оставаться теми, кем мы являемся, и сохранить в работе искренность, присущую нам последние 45 лет, – говорит основатель марки. – В основе нашего бизнеса и в последующие 45 лет останется высочайшее качество продукции. Я гарантирую это». А гарантия Ванни Ди Филиппо относится к числу тех, которым стоит доверять.

70: Scent From Italy
Аромат Италии
Паола Боттаи – один из самых востребованных парфюмеров Рима. Для своих необыкновенных композиций она использует классические ингредиенты, произрастающие в Италии. О своей давней любви к запахам и своем видении успешного будущего итальянской парфюмерии она рассказала Джошу Симсу Паола Боттаи предпочитает называть работу с ароматами делом всей жизни: «Я всегда с энтузиазмом относилась к запахам в целом. В детстве мое настроение очень сильно зависело от того, какой аромат я вдыхала – „отвратительный“ или притягательный. Запахи способны навевать воспоминания, и это может как пугать, так и завораживать». Прошло всего пять лет с момента, когда Боттаи получила профессиональное образование: она училась на юге Франции – в городе Грас, который считается духовной родиной парфюмерии. За этот небольшой срок она успела поработать с самыми разными компаниями: парфюмерным брендом Carthusia, автомобильным производителем Mini, крошечной, но знаменитой миланской парикмахерской Bullfrog и винотекой Cantina Tramin. Кстати, проект с винотекой стал «супер-интересным опытом», поскольку в нем соединились миры вина и парфюма. «Я никогда не рассылала свои резюме и не делала ничего подобного, – так Боттеи рассказывает о своей принципиальной независимости. – Клиенты приходят ко мне, потому что они почувствовали где-то один из созданных мной ароматов. Так и должно быть». Несмотря на то, что многие парфюмерные композиции были созданы при непосредственном участии Боттаи, парфюм под ее собственным именем еще только в планах, причем далеких. Во многом это обусловлено некоторым разочарованием в текущем состоянии отрасли, о чем она может судить профессионально: раньше она изучала маркетинг и коммуникации и работала в музыкальном бизнесе. globalblue.com
Парфюмерной сцене присуща слишком назойливая реклама с особым акцентом на фешенебельности. «Аромат может быть сколь угодно фешенебельным, но ужасно пахнуть на конкретном человеке. Вы же не будете его использовать только потому, что он «модный»? – улыбается парфюмер. – Кроме того, в последние годы появилась настоящая волна так называемой нишевой парфюмерии, причем зачастую эти компании не живут дольше шести месяцев. Нишевых ароматов создано столько, что их уже сложно назвать нишевыми. Все чаще это слово используется в значении «дорогой». Более того, появляются ароматы с загадочными ингредиентами вроде «голубой розы». Что это вообще такое – голубая роза?» Ценители букетов, которые создает Боттаи, вряд ли гонятся за претенциозностью. Она сделала себе имя на простоте своих композиций: в самой спокойной, лаконичной манере она соединяет классические ингредиенты, такие как ветивер, янтарь, пачули и бергамот. В ее сочетаниях просто нет экзотических альтернативных компонентов: «Я
111
придерживаюсь подхода «меньше значит больше». Когда вы вдыхаете аромат, который я создала, вы можете различить все, что в него добавлено. Я никогда не хочу пугать неизвестными добавками, которые внезапно обнаружатся в букете». Наибольшую известность Боттаи принесли проекты для мужчин: «Этот сегмент рынка требует больших усилий, поскольку мужчины сильнее привязаны к тем парфюмам, которые они уже используют. В связи с этим мне кажется, что общепринятые различия между «мужскими» и «женственными» ароматами надуманы. Есть только хорошие и не очень парфюмы. Роза считается символом женственности, хотя далеко не везде в мире ее трактуют как символ любви и страсти. Но мне нравится работать с контрастами. И я думаю, что аромат розы на мужчине может быть столь же великолепным». Созданные Боттаи ароматы можно охарактеризовать и как истинно итальянские. Ее ателье расположено в Риме, и сама она выросла в квартале Париоли. Флакончики, ярлыки и упаковка – все производится в Италии. Даже пробники для клиентов она оформляет сама. Во всех возможных случаях она использует компоненты, которые растут в итальянских деревушках. По большому счету, она деятельно участвует в новом восхождении парфюмерного дела Италии. «Сфера моды составляет большую часть экономики Италии, и ярлык Made in Italy очень важен во многих сферах. Но когда речь идет о парфюмерии, люди вспоминают, в первую очередь, Францию. При этом у Италии большая парфюмерная история, которая открывается каждому заинтересованному. Например, центры производства ароматов были во Флоренции и Венеции, ведь там шла торговля редкими восточными ингредиентами. И именно Екатерина Медичи сделала Грас столь важным для парфюмерии местом». Екатерина Медичи происходила из итальянской аристократической семьи и впоследствии стала королевой Франции. Считается, что именно она заложила моду
на городскую парфюмерию, после того как получила в подарок ароматизированные перчатки из Граса. В самом начале творческого пути Боттаи сотрудничала с гигантом парфюмерной отрасли и быстро убедилась, что этот путь не для нее, несмотря на возможность сделать себе имя. Она предпочитает сохранять относительную анонимность, оставаясь за кулисами. Однако в предстоящие годы ее ждет неминуемая известность, как и всю итальянскую парфюмерию: «Я люблю ароматы, – делится она. – И не только на спиртовой основе. Я люблю играть с ароматами во всех формах – средствах для лица и тела, ароматизаторах для дома и даже автомобиля. Запахи могут подарить целый мир, который еще предстоит открыть». Три лучших места Паола Боттаи поделилась с SHOP лучшими, по ее мнению, парфюмерными магазинами 1. Original Toiletries «Я работала с этой компанией. Она представляет множество брендов с историей, которые создают ароматы для мужчин, а также небольшую подборку товаров для женщин» Original Toiletries, Viale dei Colli Portuensi 530, 00151 Рим, +39 06 6579 5281, originaltoiletries.com 2.

Он находится в центре Рима, в паре шагов от Площади Испании» Campomarzio70, Via Vittoria 52, 00187 Рим, +39 06 6979 7739, campomarzio70.it 3. Profumeria De Angelis Malugani Stefania «Маленький парфюмерный магазин в районе Париоли, где и зародилась моя страсть к ароматам. Он находится буквально в 200 метрах от моего дома, и в детстве я ходила сюда делать домашнее задание» Profumeria De Angelis Malugani Stefania, Via Luigi Luciani 38, 00197 Рим, +39 06 321 8386

如果您来意大利购物，就必然会去寻找取材于此、 设计于此的物件，将注有“意大利制造”的真正奢华 之物收入囊中。在您的寻觅之旅中，没有比Il Bisonte更好的品牌了。该品牌位于托斯卡纳腹地， 专注于生产精美非凡的皮包、皮夹和小配饰，其背后 还有着魅力卓绝的创始人Wanny Di Filippo所书 写的一段伟大故事。Il Bisonte的手提包设计引领潮 流，原创感十足，如果不想回到家后与人“撞包”，它就 是您的不二之选。 “一直以来我都很喜欢用双手去创造，” Wanny Di Filippo说道。“20岁的时候，我与一群来自欧洲 各地的年轻人聚到了一起。他们教会了我制作各种 小物件，也是从那时起，我有了与皮革打交道的念 头。”Di Filippo在佛罗伦萨学会了皮件制作手艺，并 将所学转化成了一门生意。“出于一些个人原因，我 恰好在佛罗伦萨驻足了几天，随后便踏上了这段旅 程；1969年，我在一家位于佛罗伦萨市中心的小店 动手制作了第一批皮包。这家小店距离我们如今的 主店仅几步之遥。” 后来，Di Filippo与另一位佛罗伦萨年轻人 Luciano Masini携手，共同开拓生意。“刚起步的时 候，我完全不知道我的未来会如何，也不知道我的想 法会不会成功，”他回忆道。“创立之初的店面位于 Via del Parione的一间小地下室——它如今还在， 那就是Il Bisonte历史上的第一家店。当时与我一同 创业的还有比我更年轻的Luciano，他现在依然在 公司里。我只能说，我很高兴实现了自己的一个梦 想。” 延续Il Bisonte之梦的秘诀之一就是保持积极 的合作关系，在这方面，品牌可谓已达到了炉火纯青 的境界。“我们与相同的皮革及零件供应商已合作了 整整45个年头，他们几乎都是托斯卡纳本土的商 家。相互尊重让我们一路以来的职业合作亲密无 间，”Di Filippo解释道。“无论是打造手工皮包还是 维系人与人之间的关系，这类实在而长久的事情都 需要投入巨大的精力。这就是我们的秘诀。” 为了缔结互利共赢的关系，45年来Il Bisonte一 直真诚面对合作伙伴，忠于自身原则。同样适用的， 还有其一以贯之的审美品位。“这就是人们喜爱Il Bisonte的原因；无论外界如何变化，Il Bisonte始终 如一，”Di Filippo解释道。“每件作品，无一例外， 都忠实地遵循了品牌标志性的设计思路，采用经典 用料精心制作而成。” 野牛图案也一直贯穿了Il Bisonte的历史。“野牛 始终很吸引我，这种野兽虽然身形巨大，但同时也很 脆弱无助、纯粹真实。我深深爱上了他们，并开始制 作一系列不同物件来描绘野牛，”Di Filippo说道。 野牛商标也已成为品牌的质量保证，懂行之人看到 此印记，立刻能够辨认出Il Bisonte独有的风格。 虽然品牌源于佛罗伦萨，却与罗马也有着重要

在我成长的过程中，无论是‘恶心的’还是好闻的味 道，都会对我的心情产生很大的影响，”她说道。“气 味是我们脑中记忆的一个深层来源，这有点吓人，但 也很迷人。” 这位罗马调香师五年前才刚刚于香水之 都——法国南部城市格拉斯完成她的调香训练，如 今她已与各类品牌展开协作，合作对象包括香水品 牌Carthusia、汽车公司Mini、规模虽小却广受赞誉 的米兰精品理发店Bullfrog，其与葡萄酒公司 Cantina Tramin 之间“超级酷的合作”更是将葡萄 酒和香水的世界完美融合。“我从来没有发过一份简 历或者类似的东西，”这位坚持独立设计的调香师说 道。“客户来找我是因为他们闻过我的香水。按理也 应是如此。” 虽然许多香水发布时都骄傲地标上了Bottai的 名字，但她至今还未打造自己的招牌香水，其设计还 只是初具雏形。其中部分原因在于，Bottai对目前以 市场为导向的香水行业已有些许失望——读完传播 学后，她进入音乐行业工作了几年，清楚地意识到了 市场现状；同时，对香水的大肆宣传以及更甚的对 其“可流行性”的追求，让她的心不免又凉了几分。“某 个香味可能是很流行，但在你身上闻起来也许很恶 心。为什么因为它‘流行’，你就要喷它呢？”她笑道。“ 近几年还出现了一大波小众调香师，其自创品牌往 往撑不过半年。事实上，现在小众香水已经多到不 能称之为小众了。而小众一词往往意味着‘昂贵’，所 以你就会看到某些香水发布的时候标榜自己使用了 像‘蓝色玫瑰’这样的神秘原料。我都不知道蓝色玫瑰 是什么。” 顾客不太可能在Bottai香水身上发现如此做作 的成分。这位调香师的作品以简约著称，以毫不复杂 而又摩登时尚的方式，精妙运用香草根、琥珀、广藿 香及佛手柑等各种经典原料。你不会在她的香水中 发现任何扭捏作态的替代原料。“我的方法就是‘少即 是多’，”她说道。“如果你闻到我调制的香水，你就能 立刻闻出其中的原料。我不想用混合香中的某些东 西吓到任何人。” Bottai最为人称道的作品是男士香水。“这个市 场更具挑战性，因为男士对自己用过的香水要忠诚得 多，”她说道。“话虽如此，我认为把香水划分为所谓 的‘男士’和‘女士’具有一定误导性。世上只有好的香 水和不怎么好的香水之分。玫瑰一直被用在女士香 水中，哪怕它所象征的爱与激情在世界各地各不相 同；但我就喜欢反其道而行。这也是为何我认为将玫 瑰用在男士身上也会一样棒。” Bottai之香水最首要的特点可能还是其满满的 意大利风情。她的工作室位于首都罗马，她从小就在 Parioli区域长大。她的香水瓶、标签和包装都在意 大利本土制作完成；非同寻常的是，当她为顾客准备 香水样品的时候，她还会亲自完成瓶子、标签和包
装的设计。Bottai尽可能地使用原产于意大利乡间 的原料。事实上，她正积极投身于意大利香水业的 再度崛起。 “很显然，意大利的时尚行业非常发达，‘意大利 制造’在方方面面而言都很重要。可是一提到香水， 人们想到的往往是法国，”她说道。“但是，真正懂香 水的人都知道，意大利的制香史也很长，佛罗伦萨和 威尼斯就是很好的例子，因为它们是珍稀原料由东 到西进行贸易的关键之地；殊不知，让格拉斯和其出 产的香水扬名于世的功臣是凯瑟琳·德·美地奇 （Catherine de Medici）”（凯瑟琳·德·美地奇，意 大利贵妇，后成为法国皇后，喜欢带有香味的手套。 据说她得到了一副格拉斯制造的手套，随后开始大 力推广该镇的香水）。 Bottai早年曾为一香水业巨头公司工作，这段 经历让她很快意识到这条路不适合她，虽然她可能 有机会一举成名。她更喜欢在幕后默默创造，不喜 欢抛头露面。但是，如意大利香水一样，她注定会在 未来为更多人所知。“我爱香水，”她说道，“不仅限于 大家喷的基于酒精的香水。我喜欢把玩各种形式的 香水——面霜和沐浴露，家用抑或是车用。香水的奇 妙世界还有待我们慢慢发掘。” 三大推荐

ローマのようなアイコニックな都市では、お馴染みの 観光名所につい目を奪われがちだ。そこで、ハンナ・ ルイスが古代遺跡から市民のお気に入りの食事処ま で、ローマのとっておきの穴場を案内する。
globalblue.com
ローマのよく知られた観光スポットは避けて通るわ けにはいかないが、ちょっと角度を変えてみると新た な魅力に気付く。例えば、バチカン庭園が一般に公 開されているのをご存じだろうか。事前予約が必要 だが、イタリアでも屈指のこの美しい緑地スペースを 散策する価値は十分にある。必見リストのトップがコ ロッセオなら、ナイトツアーを予約しよう。この広大 なスペースを文字通り違った光で見ることができる。 サン・ピエトロ大聖堂が素敵という人は、ピアッツ ァ・デイ・カヴァリエリ・ディ・マルタ（マルタ騎士団 広場）へ行って、 マルタ騎士団の館の表玄関の鍵穴 から大聖堂を覗き見てみよう。このスポットは公然の 秘密で行列待ちになる可能性があるが、生垣の間に 完璧にとらえられた大聖堂の姿は素晴らしく、待った 甲斐があると感じるはずだ。本当にスペシャルな感 がある。 意外な穴場 古代ローマの見どころは、当然のチョイスの他にもい ろいろある。モンテ・テスタッチョはパンテオンほど 華麗ではないが、独特の古代遺跡だ。古代ローマ人 が使ったアンフォラ（壺）のかけらでできた人工の堤 で、出土する陶器片は紀元140年、おそらくはそれ以
117
前に遡るという。モンテ・テスタッチョの麓には、堤 の斜面を掘り込む形で造られたバーやレストランが たくさんある。お薦めは、ガラスのパネル越しに堤の 内部が見られるフラヴィオ・アル・ヴェラヴェヴォデッ トと、古代の壺の破片が壁を成すワインセラーを見 学できるケッキーノ・ダル1887だ。 もう一つ見過ごされがちな穴場がオスティア・アンテ ィカだ。ローマから30分のここは、かつてはテヴェレ 川の河口に位置した古代ローマの港だった。今はも う海に面していないが、見事に保全された構造をは じめ、美しいフレスコ画やモザイクなど旧港の面影は 色濃い。一方、史上最古の舗装道路の一つ、アッピ ア・アンティカ（アッピア街道）を見に行く手もある。 全長を歩くことはお薦めしないが、カラカラ浴場で街 道の起点を見ることができる。 ちょっと変わった美術館 ローマの美術・博物館はもちろん大きな魅力の一つ だが、人混みが苦手なら他にも見どころはたくさんあ る。古代ローマの彫像に魅せられている人なら、チェ ントラーレ・モンテマルティーニ美術館がいい。この 美術館はかつて発電所だった建物内にあり、古代と 近代が並置された館内では彫刻という古典的な表 現手段を新たな視点で見ることができる。ローマは 古典芸術だけではない。イタリア国立21世紀美術館 （通称「マキシ」）はイタリア初の現代芸術専門の国 立美術館だ。有名建築家のザハ・ハディドがデザイン した建物は、展示品に優るとも劣らないインパクトを 与える。
通りのリナーリが人気店だ。ホームメードのケーキや ペイストリーはどれも絶品で、期待を裏切らない。 ワイニング＆ダイニング ちょっとフォーマルな食事をという時は、伝統食を大 切にする現代的なトラットリア、アルマンド・アル・パ ンテオン。 「クッチーナ・ポヴェーラ」 （「質素な料理」 という意味）を出すこのレストランは、骨髄や臓物を ヨーロッパ中のメニューに復活させたスローフード運 動の一環だ。豊富にあって簡単に手に入るのに見過 ごされてきた食材を改めて見直そうというもので、シ ェフたちがローマでも出色の美しくておいしい料理を 提供してくれる。こういう店こそが地元民の食事処 だ。ただ、デザートということになると、ローマで一番 のティラミスはクローチェ通りのポンピで決まりだと 誰もがいう。 また、ローマ人はワイン好き。バンキ・ヴェッキ通りの イル・ゴッチェットは行列ができるくらいだから、選り すぐりのボトルを揃えているのは間違いない。コロッ セオの界隈にいるなら、エノテカ・プロヴィンチャ・ロ マーナもローマっ子に愛されている。イタリアはビー ルも美味で、アンティカ・ビッレリア・ペローニではと びきりの地ビールを飲ませてくれる。ただ、ローマで お薦めのバーはと聞かれると、やはり賑やかなトラス テヴェレ地区を見渡せるイル・バレットだろう。上質 のワイン、冷たいビール、カクテルの他、バースナック や軽食もあるこのバーが賑わいを増すのは勤め帰り の時間帯以降。ローマ探検の一日の締めくくりにぴっ たりの場所だ。
その他にローマの魅力と言えば、やはり食べ物だろ う。ピザにパスタ、ジェラート、ティラミスなどイタリア 料理は世界中で愛されているが、それを楽しむのに ご当地の首都より他にいい場所があるだろうか。ロ ーマは朝から晩まで、食べて、飲んで、人生を楽しめ る場所があちこちにあって賑やかだ。店を選ぶ時の コツは、ローマっ子に倣うこと。 一日の始まりは、コーラ・ディ・リエンツォ通りにある カストローニで飲むミルクフォームたっぷりのコーヒ ーから。カプチーノがないと日が暮れない向きは今 のうちに飲んでおこう。というのは、ローマっ子は午 前11時以降はミルク入りのコーヒーを飲まないから だ。軽く朝食をとるなら、有機食材を主体にした食事 を地元民に出すスタイリッシュで親しみやすいバー、 ネッチはいかがだろうか。トレンディなピニェート地 区にあり、いかすローマ人に交じって食事をとること になる。ランチ後のおやつなら、ニコラ・ツァバーリャ

ディ・フィリッポは、フィレンツェ出身の若者ルチ アーノ・マシーニと手を組んでビジネスを発展させて いった。 「始めた頃は、自分の将来がどうなるかも、 自分のアイデアがどう形になるかも皆目わかりません でした。イル ビゾンテの最初の工房はパリオーネ通 りの小さな地下室で、相棒は自分よりさらに若い少 年のルチアーノでした。この一号店は今も健在で、ル チアーノも当社でずっと働いています。とにかく、夢 の一つが実現したのは嬉しいですね。」 イル ビゾンテの夢が生き続けている背景にある のが良好な協力関係の維持で、同社ではそれを極め ている。 「皮も金具類も、45年間同じ仕入先から仕 入れています。ほぼ全てトスカーナの企業です。プロ としてお互いを尊敬し合ってきたことが、関係を強固 なものにしてきました」とディ・フィリッポはいう。 「手 作りバックでも人間関係でも、しっかりした長持ちす るものを作るには努力が必要。それが当社の成功の 秘訣です。」 互いの利益になる関係を築こうと努めてきたイ ル ビゾンテは、45年にわたって協働者を大切にし 道義を貫いてきた。これは創業以来の美学について も言えることだ。 「イル ビゾンテをご愛顧いただいて いるのは、この何があっても変わらぬ美学があるか ら」というディ・フィリッポ。 「何を作るにしても、当ブ ランドならではのラインと昔ながらの素材を大事にし ています。」 バッファローのモチーフも、イル ビゾンテの歴 史を通して使われてきた。 「昔からバッファローが好 きでしてね。大きな動物でありながら同時に脆くて

ローマ随一の調香師パオラ・ボッタイは、イタリア産 の伝統的原料を使って独自の香りを創り出してい る。その彼女が香りに対する積年の想い入れとイタ リアの香水が香りの未来だと思う理由を、ジョッシ ュ・シムズに語った。
無防備で純粋な姿に魅せられて、バッファローをあ しらった各種アイテムのコレクションを作り始めまし た。」このロゴはブランドの品質の証となり、通なら この印を見ればすぐイル ビゾンテとわかる。 ブランド発祥の地はフィレンツェだが、ローマに も2店舗を構え、強いつながりを持っている。 「ロー マは誰もが愛する街。私も大好きです。若々しくて巨 大で活気に満ちていますものね。」イル ビゾンテの ローマ店でもフィレンツェ店でも、2016/17年秋冬コ レクションの素晴らしいバッグの数々に出会えるはず だ。コニャック色の革製バッグは、伝統的なスタイル からちょっと変わった形まで幅広く取り揃える。さら に、買い物には大ぶりの黒トートバッグ、ロマンチッ クディナーならミニバケットスタイル、オフィスでのプ レゼンで決めたい時は書類ホルダー、街の散策には バックル付きサッチェル、週末のお出かけにはレザー とツイードのコンビバッグと、充実のラインアップだ。 「伝統的な牛革に、デッキチェアーに使われるストラ イプの布などちょっと変わった特殊素材を合わせて います。いろいろと研究し実験するのが好きで、当社 自慢の素材に野菜染めの牛革を加え、世界中で知ら れるようになりました。」 将来に関しては、イル ビゾンテは今後も必勝レ シピを守っていく考えだ。 「うちらしさをあくまでも追 求していきます。これまで45年間やってきたように実 直にね。当社製品は次の45年間も変わらず品質第一 主義。それは私が保証します。」他ならぬワニー・デ ィ・フィリッポが保証するというのだから、間違いな い。
パオラ・ボッタイは、フレグランスデザインの修 行は一生続くと思っている。 「香りというものに昔か ら情熱を抱いていた」というボッタイ。 「子供の頃、 『 とんでもなくひどい』臭いを嗅いだり本当に素敵な 香りを嗅いだりすると、それによって気分がガラリと 変わったものです。匂いは人間の記憶の奥底にある もので、それが怖くもあり魅力でもあります。」 ローマを拠点とするこの調香師が、南フランスに ある香水のメッカ、グラースでフレグランスデザイン の修行を終えたのはほんの5年前のこと。その後、香 水レーベルのカルトゥージア、自動車会社のミニ、零 細ながら評判の高いミラノの理容店ブルフロッグ、ワ イン会社のカンティーナ・トラミンなど、様々な企業と 仕事をしてきた。カンティーナ・トラミンとのプロジェ クトは、ワインの世界と香水の世界を結び付けた「と びきり素敵なコラボレーションだった」。 「履歴書を 送ったわけでも何でもないんです」と、この独立心旺 盛なデザイナーはいう。 「クライアントが私の作った フレグランスをどこかで嗅がれて、訪ねてきて下さっ たんです。まさに理想の姿ですよね。」 ボッタイの名を誇らしげに付けたプロジェクトで

数多くの香水を発売してきたとはいえ、自分の代表 作といえるものはまだ創っていない。遠い将来に向 けて構想は練っているのだが。これは、彼女がマー ケティング先行の現代香水界に少し幻滅しているこ とも一因だという。そうした業界の有り様について は、もともと広告を勉強し、その後音楽業界で数年 勤務した経験から、ある程度知っている。フレグラン スの世界でも過剰宣伝が行われ、ファッショナブル であることに重点が置かれる傾向にげんなりしてい るのだ。 「ファッショナブルでも、胸が悪くなりそうな 匂いかもしれないじゃないですか。いくら『ファッシ ョナブルだから』って、そんなの身に付けます？」とボ ッタイは笑う。 「それから、最近はニッチな調香師も ブームになっていますけど、ブランドが現れては半年 もしないうちに消えていくことが多いんですよ。今じ ゃニッチフレグランスが多すぎて、もうニッチとは呼 べないくらい。 『ニッチ＝お高い』を意味するだけとい うのが現状です。また、 『ブルーローズ』とか摩訶不 思議な原料を使ったフレグランスも発売されていま す。ブルーローズって何それ？って感じ。」 ボッタイのフレグランスには、そんなもったいぶ った品はまずない。ベチバー、アンバー、パチュリ、ベ ルガモットといった古典的な原料を使い、飾らず現 代的に調香する彼女は、シンプルな香りで定評を得 ている。わざとらしく変わった原料を使ったフレグラ ンスは一切ない。 「私はレス・イズ・モアのアプローチ をとっています。私が作った香りを嗅いでいただけれ ば、何が入っているかがわかります。妙なものを入れ て使う人がびっくりするようなことはしたくないんで す。」

ボッタイは特にメンズフレグランスで高い評価 を得ている。 「難しい市場なんですよね。男性はいつ も付けている香りに忠実な傾向がありますから。と はいえ、よく「マスキュリン」な香りとか「フェミニン」 な香りとか言いますけど、こうした区別は誤解を招く と思うんですよね。あるのはいい香りとよくない香り だけ。バラは伝統的にはフェミニンですが、愛や情 熱のシンボルというのが世界中どこでも同じかという とそうではありません。私はコントラストを活かすの が好きなので、男性にバラの香りっていうのも素敵 なんじゃないかと思うんです。」 おそらく、ボッタイのフレグランスの形容として最 もピッタリくるのは、 「いかにもイタリアン」だろう。首 都ローマにアトリエを構え、育ちはパリオリ地区とい う彼女の香水は、瓶もラベルもパッケージもイタリア 製。クライアント用にサンプルを準備する際に、それ らの独自デザインもセットで提案するというのも彼女 独特だ。原料も可能な限りイタリアの田園部に自生 するものを使う。それだけではない。ボッタイは、イタ リア香水業の抜本的な見直しに一役買いたいと意気 込んでいる。 「イタリアにはもちろん巨大なファッション産業 があって、 『メイド・イン・イタリア』のブランドはいろ んな意味で重要です。ただ、フレグランスといえば、 やっぱりフランスを真っ先に思い浮かべる人が多い のです。実はイタリアにも香りづくりの素晴らしい歴 史があり、そのことはフレグランスに詳しい人ならど なたでもご存じです。例えばフィレンツェ。ヴェニスも そうです。東洋から珍しい原料を西洋へ持ち込む貿 易の要所だったわけですからね。グラースが香りの

都になったのも、カテリーナ・デ・メディチのおかげと いっていいくらいです。」 （フランス女王となったこの イタリア貴婦人は香り付き手袋を愛し、彼女がグラ ース製手袋を贈られたのを機にグラースの香水が人 気を博したといわれている。） ボッタイは駆け出しの頃にフレグランス業の大 手企業で働いた経験があるが、その時すぐに自分に は向いてないと確信したという。大企業にいれば名 前を売る機会はあっただろうが、表看板になるよりも 比較的無名な作り手でいたいと思っているのだ。と はいえ、イタリアのフレグランスと同様、ボッタイの名 声が今後高まるのは間違いない。 「とにかく香りが好 きなんです。それもアルコールベースの香水だけじゃ なくて、フェースクリームやボディウォッシュ、ホーム フレグランスから車のフレグランスまで、あらゆる形 のフレグランスを考えています。香りの世界はまだま だ奥が深いんですよ。」
