IN STEP WITH NATURE

Baldinini’s spring/summer 2017 collection has its foundations in nature, explored via different themes, palettes and textures. A floral garden is expressed through patchwork flowers combined with leather in tropical colours and tattoo prints. A desert is evoked in a more neutral combination of colours that suggests the sunrises of the Sahara, exemplified in styles such as these flat black gladiator-style sandals adorned with woven beige leather and gold-coloured metal hardware (€420). The collection emphasises the relationship between modernity and dynamism, offering heels of different heights, contrasting soles and pieces encrusted with Swarovski crystals. rre Baldinini, Via del Babuino 150, 00187 Rome, +39 06 3601 0347, baldinini.it FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 78

To Rome, With Love

From the Colosseum to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic sites are a rich source of inspiration for local designers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who are repaying their creative debts with generous restoration investment. Sally McIlhone reports

oman designers need only step outside their doors to find inspiration. In a city that boasts stunning architecture, captivating historical sites and some of the most notable luxury brands in the world, it’s understandable the latter would be inspired by the former. Indeed, some labels are so taken with the enduring icons of the Eternal City that they have felt compelled to celebrate them in uniquely dedicated manners, from investing in renovations to holding fashion shows with the sites as a backdrop. Leather goods brand Tod’s has worked in partnership with the city authorities responsible for architectural heritage to restore Rome’s most impressive historical 102

structure, the Colosseum amphitheatre. President and CEO Diego Della Valle is said to have contributed €25m to the project, the first phase of which took five years and was completed in July 2016. First the surfaces were mapped, and then cleaned using gentle sprays of mist to remove decades-worth of dirt and grime, before cavities and cracks were repointed and loose stucco replaced with more authentic materials. The restoration covered 13,300 square metres of surface and the installation of new gates. The Colosseum’s appearance is vastly improved, with formerly blackened areas now gleaming white and enticing passers-by to enter. The next phase of renovation will tackle the underground Above and previous page: the Tod’s project to restore the Colosseum is an enormous undertaking

around myths and fairy stories. Pietro Beccari, CEO of Fendi, said of the restoration: ‘Fendi is Rome, and Rome is Fendi. Fendi has a deep bond with Rome, the city our house was founded in 90 years ago and that has always inspired us. The funding of these restoration projects was very important not just as an act of philanthropy but as a way to thank

areas, where gladiators and animals once awaited their fate. The aim is to allow visitors to be able to enter these areas from outside the Colosseum’s walls. ‘When the arena’s completed, this place will be even more beautiful,’ Italy’s culture minister Dario Franceschini told the Guardian newspaper. The restoration will also mean that the amphitheatre can in future be used for what Franceschini refers to as ‘cultural events of the highest level.’ The Trevi Fountain, a spectacular water feature surrounded by statues of mythical figures and noble steeds rising from the depths, has been restored by Fendi at a cost of over €2m, with the brand calling the project ‘a labour of love’. The completed works were unveiled on 3 November 2015, and Fendi further celebrated the site by holding its 90th anniversary couture show at the fountain in July 2016. A transparent catwalk allowed models to glide across the surface of the water, which seemed appropriate for a show themed

the Eternal City for all that we have been given in these years.’ Bulgari has approached its renovation of the Spanish Steps in a similar spirit of gratitude. ‘Rome has always been the number one source of inspiration for Bulgari so it is right to give back to Rome what Rome has given Bulgari,’ said chief executive JeanChristophe Babin. And give back the company has, in the form of a €1.5m investment ensuring the Spanish Steps were cleaned and repaired with appropriate attention to detail. The jewellery brand has also invested in an ongoing project to restore the mosaics in the Baths of Caracalla. The newly renovated steps were reopened in September last year, prior to Bulgari’s accessories presentation.

Rome’s historical features continue to provide inspiration to a new generation of designers, who, in turn, do not hesitate to show their appreciation and gratitude to the Eternal City boutique to give back to the brand that’s given back to Rome. Jewellery designer Delfina Delettrez draws inspiration from a less high-profile monument, a fountain in the Coppedè district built in the 1920s by architect Gino Coppedè. Blending medieval, baroque and art deco and nouveau styles, the architect’s use of imagery has influenced Delettrez’s work. ‘It’s all hidden symbolism, but with an ironic touch. It’s like mixed fairytales, coming up and creating a whole different parallel universe; so there is gothic, art deco, liberty, the medieval,’ says Delettrez. ‘It’s incredible.’ From fairytale fountains to iconic steps and the most impressive historical site in the city, Rome continues to provide inspiration to a new generation of designers – who, in turn, do not hesitate to show their appreciation and gratitude to the Eternal City Above (from top): the jewellery designed by Delfina Delettrez takes inspiration from the works of architect Gino Coppedè; the Coppedè district in Rome

et al. And, while the film flits between locations in the city and visits iconic landmarks including Saint Peter’s basilica and the Trevi Fountain, one street takes a starring role: Via Veneto. Via Vittorio Veneto, known colloquially as Via Veneto, was originally built in the 1880s real-estate boom that followed the incorporation of Rome into the kingdom of Italy. By the 1950s the street, under its current name, had become a haven for the well-heeled in Rome. Its alluring bars and restaurants attracted Hollywood stars as well as the wealthy elite from Italy and beyond; it was a favourite haunt of famous names including Audrey Hepburn, Orson Welles, Tennessee Williams and Coco Chanel. After a day’s filming at the Cinecittà Studios, stars would let their hair down in the glamorous venues along the boulevard. Though these heady days are now in the past, Via Veneto remains one of Rome’s most famous streets. Its sense of luxury now tinged with a charming nostalgia, the street is an

idely acclaimed as a cinematic masterpiece, Federico Fellini’s 1960 film La Dolce Vita follows writer Marcello Rubini, played by Marcello Mastroianni, as he journeys through the upper echelons of Roman society. A tabloid journalist, Rubini glides between the most glamorous locations in the city, meeting everyone from wealthy heiresses to famous actresses to the intellectuals of the day. As he traverses ‘la dolce vita’ (‘the sweet life’), Rubini searches for love and happiness, struggling to reconcile his desire for a meaningful emotional life with his love of the decadence and materiality of the life he sees around him. Critically acclaimed, La Dolce Vita won the Palme d’Or at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival, as well as an Oscar for best costume design that same year, and is now acknowledged as a classic. Its continued success has immortalised the glamour and excess of 1950s Rome, captured with such skill by Fellini, Mastroianni

From today’s Hollywood stars to international dignitaries, the elite come to Harry’s Bar when visiting Rome enticing destination for visitors to Rome. While the Café de Paris, one of La Dolce Vita’s most memorable locations, has closed its doors, those who want their own taste of the sweet life should pay a visit to Harry’s Bar. While offering everything anyone could want from a modern cocktail bar, the venue, opulently decorated in leather, polished wood, marble and gold leaf, still presents a slice of 1960s Roman high life. It’s no surprise that the elite still come to Harry’s Bar when visiting Rome – from today’s Hollywood stars to international politicians and dignitaries.

To explore the length of Via Veneto is to experience not just the excitement of modern culture but also the pull of the old Harry’s Bar is known for its cocktails and visitors can enjoy live piano music each night. When it comes to fine dining, the Doney restaurant is another elite haunt. Executive chef James Foglieni is known for his superb Mediterranean cuisine, which he presents using only the best local and seasonal ingredients. The menu is creative but distinctly Italian in flavour – think beef tartare with smoked aubergine caviar and black truffle. Or try Café Doney, housed in the same beautiful building, and known both for its relaxed light dishes in the daytime and for its perfectly mixed cocktails in the evening. In the warmer months, the terrace tables prove perfect for people-watching. La Dolce Vita is famous for its fashion, so be sure to visit Via Veneto’s luxurious fashion boutiques. At Versace, Donatella Versace’s high-octane glamour is the 2017 answer to Fellini’s vision, bringing extravagant Italian luxury bang up to date.

approach to glamour. For spring/summer, look out for beautiful nautically inspired pieces that recall the glamour of the 1950s and 1960s – perfect for creating your own sweet life. At Casuccio e Scalera, discover some of the finest traditionally made footwear in Italy, from classic styles to very modern models. Via Veneto is at the heart of Rome, and to explore its length is to experience not just the excitement of modern culture but also the pull of the old. Starting at Piazza Barberini, stop to admire the Fontana del Tritone, as well as the smaller but no less beautiful Fontana delle Api, then weave your way along Via Veneto, taking in the beautiful late 19th-century architecture as you go. The ornamental crypt under the church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini provides a unique detour for those interested in the baroque style. The other end of Via Veneto reaches Porta Pinciana, an ancient gate to Rome that still stands today. This is an unmissable sight, but beyond it is one even more so: the Villa Borghese gardens. These 17th-century gardens are some of the most beautiful in the world. Standing here, it’s easy to imagine why Fellini saw Rome as the place to experience la dolce vita

Annarita Pilotti is the CEO of Italian company Loriblu, which specialises in elegant, top-quality, glamorous shoes. She tells Maria Kirchen-Hill the secrets of creating truly luxurious footwear

In 2015, Annarita Pilotti was named president of the Assocalzaturifici Italiani, the national association that represents the interests of Italian footwear brands. It was an historic decision, as Pilotti is the association’s first ever female president. For Pilotti, it was a prestigious and exciting recognition of the success and significance of Loriblu, the renowned luxury footwear brand of which she is CEO. Loriblu was founded by Pilotti’s husband, Graziano Cuccù, in 1974. Cuccù, who is responsible for all of the brand’s designs to this day, had his first major success with the Mignon shoe. Launched in 1978, it sold over 110,000 pairs. The brand continued to grow, developing a strong reputation for quality

66 | F E AT U R E S

and design in Italy and beyond. In 1996, Cuccù won the Scarpetta d’Oro award with a standout shoe realised in gold and zircons, cementing Loriblu’s reputation as a brand at the forefront of innovation and luxury in shoe design. Though Pilotti only officially joined as CEO in 1994, she has been invested in her husband’s business since its inception, and has watched Loriblu grow from a small label into an international brand. The first monobrand boutique opened in 2009 on Rome’s famous Piazza di Spagna, and today Loriblu has 45 standalone stores across the world as well as countless stockists. Cuccù remains president, responsible for the design of every collection, while Pilotti as CEO is in charge of sales, marketing and communications. It is, she says, ‘a team effort’, and she takes care to recognise the input of every team member. ‘My husband Graziano coordinates a very close-knit team that thinks and realises each model,’ she explains. ‘With

the marketing and sales team, I also offer suggestions on styling, colours, trends or structures that we consider strategically useful. The contribution of everyone and the final shared choice, after a very careful selection, permits the birth of the collection.’ The values on which Loriblu was founded have not changed since the company’s inception: reliability, service, quality, products that are 100% made in Italy, and great style.

summer 2017, men should look out for velvet slippers embroidered with various flora and fauna. Standout heels from the women’s collection embrace the bold and juicy colours of the tropics. As well as seasonal collections, Loriblu’s creativity shines in its capsule ranges, the avant-garde designs of which have taken inspiration from art, nature and haute couture. The brand also produces exquisite bridal shoes and luxurious groom’s shoes, and for its most exclusive clients it offers made-toorder shoes. These are distinctly opulent and Italian in style and can even be personalised.

‘Over time, our brand has carved out a distinct and unique identity,’ says Pilotti, and it is true that Loriblu has a strong customer base attracted by its signature style. For men, Loriblu offers styles that are classic but modern, while fashion-forward elements add interest. For women, the aesthetic is more individual and vibrant, but retains the classic shapes and lines of great Italian footwear. An appreciation of major trends is one element that keeps clients coming back to Loriblu time and again; its seasonal collections are always highly fashion-forward. For spring/

Loriblu produces 15,000 pairs of shoes every day, and every single one of these is crafted in the brand’s workshops in the Marche region, famous for its excellence in footwear. Le Marche is the region of the shoe, says Pilotti. ‘Our region has a history of entrepreneurs, artisans and experienced shoemakers whose roots go back decades,’ she explains. ‘We are not the only footwear district in Italy, but we are certainly the most important.’ Loriblu’s characteristic exemplary quality and attention to detail are made possible by its guarantee that all its footwear is made in Le Marche. Loriblu’s well-deserved reputation for great craftsmanship and design means the brand is in a position to collaborate with other leading firms, which has allowed for the creation of its latest big project: the Selene. This revolutionary shoe was created in Above (clockwise from top left): two looks from the Loriblu spring/summer 2017 campaign; Donna, from the brand’s capsule collection

collaboration with DreamLux, a fibre optics firm which has patented a fabric that glows in the dark, using LED lights. Classically elegant in the daytime, the Selene pump lights up in the evening, adding a truly unexpected element to any outfit. ‘Selene was the Greek goddess who personified the moon,’ explains Pilotti. ‘She appeared at sunset as the only light in the darkness, romantic and charming.’ For Pilotti, the proudest achievement so far is the international quality of Loriblu; the brand is known across the world as an ambassador of the high standards signified by the Made in Italy merchandise mark. And yet this success is all the result of something simple and traditional: a family business. Pilotti’s plan for the future is ‘above all to continue to work with passion together with my family. Our sons and daughters are increasingly present in

the company. The generational change will be necessary, but I hope that Graziano and I can still be here with the same passion of our first 40 years’

COLD COMFORT Gelato, Italy’s smooth, silky ice cream, is the ultimate warm-weather treat and Rome offers some delicious options. Katie Muxworthy recommends her favourite scoops

Temperatures soar in Rome during the summer months, and there is no better treat to cool you down than gelato – Italian ice cream is among the best in the world. Gelato has a long history; it’s said that an early version was served at the wedding feast of Italian noblewoman Catherine de Medici when she married the future King Henri II of France in 1533 – and thus introduced ice cream to the French. Made from milk, cream and sugar, gelato is generally lower in fat but higher in sugar than other styles of ice cream; slow churning incorporates less air, making gelato particularly dense, silky and soft. Rome offers a vast range, from classic vanilla, chocolate and fruit flavours to innovative contemporary options. You might take your scoop in a wafer cone or a bowl or sandwiched between sweet biscuits; taste it just as it comes or topped with fresh fruit or drizzled with a sweet syrup. But however you choose to enjoy your ice cream, you will find it hard to resist trying a different flavour of this quintessentially Italian treat on every day of your visit to Rome. globalblue.com

This chic parlour originates from the talents of experienced gelato maker Maria Agnese Spagnuolo, who has a passion for food and natural flavours. You can indulge in this ice cream without any guilt as each flavour is 100 per cent natural and the gelato is free from artificial additives. Many flavours include exotic whole spices ground by hand. Unusual options include avocado, lime and white wine; allspice and chocolate; almond, apple and cinnamon; and basil, walnuts and honey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all unique and delicious.

The creators of this gelateria have a simple philosophy: their customers are true connoisseurs and their expectations must be satisfied. Every flavour at San Crispino is created using the highest-quality seasonal ingredients. From classic flavours such as pistachio to more innovative and contemporary creations including whisky and liquorice varieties, there is something for every taste in this welcoming spot. For a lighter option, perhaps try a sorbet made from fresh seasonal fruits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; melon, clementine and grapefruit are among the choices. Top your selection with whipped cream, if you like. Il Gelato di San Crispino, Via della Panetteria 42, 00187 Rome, +39 06 679 3924, ilgelatodisancrispino.com

The presentation of Otaleg gelato is just as inspiring as its taste. Ingredients are mixed and blended to create surprising flavours such as gorgonzola with white chocolate; there are as many as 60 seasonal varieties on offer at any one time. As well as cones and dishes, the gelato is presented in ice-cream cakes, topped with fresh fruit in a decorative display. Otaleg offers courses for connoisseurs who would like to make gelato at home: you are invited to learn about the history, taste and magic that goes into preparing gelato. The company uses only the best raw materials to create gelato in the Otaleg â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ice cream laboratoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Family-run La Romana, founded in 1947 by the Zucchi family, is steeped in history. Current owners Ivano and Massimiliano Zucchi remember the queues outside their father’s first store in Rimini; while their father expertly prepared the gelato, the young brothers would help with chores – rewarded with an ice cream cone, of course. Customers still queue for gelato here, to choose between flavours such as blood orange, cherry with crunchy hazelnuts and meringue, and mascarpone with coffee and dark chocolate. For an inventive twist, try your scoop sandwiched in a brioche bun. The firm also prides itself on its environmentally friendly packaging. La Romana, Via Venti Settembre 60, 00187 Rome, +39 06 4202 0828, gelateriaromana.com

The quirky interior of this ice cream parlour makes it a favourite with locals and visitors alike, and a charming must-visit. A pastel mint green Volkswagen van has been adapted into a glass fronted bar, and chalkboards display the vast range of flavours on offer. The gelato here, inspired by love of simple raw ingredients, doesn’t lack flavour; try a soft scoop of the namesake pistachio ice cream. For an alternative sweet snack, perhaps opt for one of the gelateria’s traditional biscotti or crêpes, or Verde Pistacchio’s own original pistachiotopped cake, the tristacchio.

10am Enjoy breakfast at La Casetta a Monti, a cosy, inviting vine-covered café. There is something here to suit every appetite. 12pm Stroll towards Via del Corso, one of Rome’s shopping highlights, and discover men’s suiting from Gutteridge, quirky handbags from Braccialini and watches from Hour Passion. 3pm Take in the spectacular Palazzo di Montecitorio, seat of the chamber of deputies of the Italian parliament. Guided visits are only available on the first Sunday of each month; if your visit doesn’t coincide with one of these, discover the Pantheon, an architectural marvel. 7pm There is surely no better way to end your evening than drinks and dinner with a view. At La Terrazza dell’Eden restaurant on Via Ludovisi, which boasts stunning views of Rome as well as a delectable Michelin-starred menu, your wishes will be granted. This venue does not disappoint.

Founded by Wanny Di Filippo in Florence over 45 years ago, Il Bisonte has since become a name to know in the world of leather craft. Utilising traditional, vegetable-tanned cowhide to create modern bag styles with a heritage feel, the brand has developed a dedicated following. On your trip to Rome invest in a pale grey bucket bag, a deep tan backpack or a metallic bronze crossbody style. The brand’s logo, the buffalo, has become established as an international mark of the highest quality.

For spring/summer 2017, Italian fashion house Ermanno Scervino was inspired by beauty in all its forms, as can be seen in its array of ultrafeminine gowns as well as its militaryinspired suiting. The brand’s signature pleated lace is worked into a honeycomb design and applied to delicate pink, white and lemon coloured dresses, while elsewhere military-style jackets are draped over shorts and shirts in pure white. Ermanno Scervino’s full-length gowns are some of the most eye-catching of the season, as the pink creation pictured shows. To turn heads this season, this ultra-luxurious brand should be your first choice. Ermanno Scervino, Via del Babuino 97, 00187 Rome, +39 06 679 3173, ermannoscervino.it

CASADEI Much-loved Italian footwear brand Casadei launches its first foray into jewellery this season, in partnership with Ilenia Corti. Capturing the spirit of the rainforest and interpreting it in a manner that evokes 1980s couture, the collection offers rings, earrings, necklaces and a custom-made cuff. Adorned with a plethora of flora and fauna, including birds of paradise, serpents and colourful tree frogs, the cuff is a spectacular, show-stopping piece that would make a perfect addition to a summer party look.

Loriblu的精湛匠艺和绝佳设计实至名归，该品牌开始与其他主流公司联袂合作，由此创造出了最新一款设计：Selene。这款革命性产品是与 DreamLux的联名创作，后者为一家纤维光学公司，其专利纤维能通过 LED灯散发夜光。

Selene鞋在白日显得经典优雅，在夜间则亮起灯光，与任何装束搭配都能增添一丝惊喜。“ Selene是希腊神话中的女神，月亮的化身，” Pilotti解释道，“她是日落后黑暗中唯一的一束光，浪漫而富有魅力。” 对 Pilotti来说，目前最令她自豪的成就便是 Loriblu的国际水准。该品牌已被选为“意大利制造”大使，代表了这一商标背后的卓越品质。不过，这种成功完全来源于一个简单而传统的做法：家族经营。说起对未来的计划，Pilotti 表示：“ 和家人一起饱含激情地继续工作是最重要的事。我们的儿女也渐渐在公司里挑起了大梁。代际变更是必要的，但我希望 Graziano 和我仍然能留在这里，不忘初心，伴随品牌成长 40 年。”

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 48: To Rome, With Love

С любовью к Риму

От Колизея до фонтана Треви и Испанской лестницы – легендарные достопримечательности итальянской столицы не перестают вдохновлять местных дизайнеров, которые выражают благодарность щедрыми инвестициями в реставрационные проекты, – рассказывает Салли МакИлхоун Для того, чтобы найти вдохновение, римским дизайнерам требуется всего лишь переступить порог своего дома. В городе с величественной архитектурой и уникальными достопримечательностями модным брендам не составит труда найти источник для вдохновения. Потрясенные красотами Вечного города, некоторые из них делают вклад в реставрацию памятников, другие же устраивают на их фоне грандиозные шоу-показы. globalblue.com

Кожгалантерейный бренд Tod’s принял участие в совместном с городской администрацией проекте по восстановлению одного из самых величественных памятников города – Колизея. Генеральный директор Diego Della Valle также пожертвовал 25 миллионов евро на этот проект, первый этап которого занял 5 лет и завершился в июле 2016 года. Сперва был составлен подробный чертеж всех поверхностей, после чего началась их очистка от многолетней грязи и пыли с помощью специального спрея, и в самом конце были заделаны трещины и обновлена штукатурка. Всего было отреставрировано 13 300 м2 поверхностей, а также заменены ворота. Внешний вид сооружения заметно преобразился, и теперь на месте черных дыр сверкающая облицовка, привлекающая взгляды прохожих. Следующий этап реставрации затронет подземелья, где когда-то гладиаторы и дикие звери ожидали своей трагической участи. Главная задача – сделать так, чтобы посетители могли попасть в эти помещения снаружи стен

амфитеатра. «Когда реставрация закончится, Колизей будет еще прекраснее», – заявил министр культуры Италии, Дарио Франческини, в интервью газете Guardian. По словам Франческини, реставрация также позволит проводить в стенах амфитеатра «культурные мероприятия высшего уровня». Реконструкция фонтана Треви, окруженного статуями мифических существ и лошадей, была проведена на средства компании Fendi, которая потратила на это более 2 млн евро, назвав проект «трудом любви». Фонтан вновь открылся для публики 3 ноября 2015 года, а в июле 2016 здесь прошел юбилейный шоу-показ, приуроченный к 90-летию основания бренда. Благодаря прозрачному подиуму модели грациозно скользили по поверхности воды, усиливая эффект «сказочной» тематики показа. Пьетро Беккари, генеральный директор Fendi, делится о своем вкладе в реконструкцию города: «Fendi – это Рим, а Рим – это Fendi. Fendi имеет тесную связь с Римом: именно здесь 90 лет назад был основан наш модный дом, и это не может нас не вдохновлять. Участие в реставрационных проектах – не просто акт благотворительности, это еще и способ выразить благодарность Вечному городу за все, чем мы ему обязаны». У марки Bulgari похожий подход к реставрации Испанской лестницы. «Рим всегда был главным источником вдохновения для Bulgari, поэтому справедливо будет отблагодарить его за все, что он дал нам», – говорит президент марки, Жан-Кристоф Бабин. Всего компания выделила на реставрацию 1.5 млн евро, что позволило привести памятник в идеальное состояние. Кроме того, ювелирный бренд принял участие в проекте по восстановлению мозаики в Термах Каракаллы. Обновленная лестница была открыта в сентябре прошлого года перед презентацией коллекции аксессуаров Bulgari. Теперь каждый поклонник фильма «Римские каникулы» сможет спустится по Испанским ступеням в стиле Одри Хепберн,

а затем зайти в бутик Bulgari и выразить бренду благодарность за его вклад в поддержку города. Источником вдохновения для ювелира Дельфины Делеттре служит менее известный памятник – фонтан лягушек в квартале Коппеде, построенный в 1920 году архитектором Джино Коппеде. Фонтан сочетает в себе сразу несколько стилей, включая средневековье, барокко, ар-деко и модернизм, а созданные мастером образы оказали заметное влияние на творчество Делеттре. «Здесь скрыт уникальный символизм, дополненный оттенком иронии. Это словно окно в параллельную вселенную, где существует сказочный мир – здесь видна и готика, и ар-деко, и либерти, и средневековье, – говорит Делеттре. – Это просто невероятно». От сказочных фонтанов до легендарных лестниц и архитектурных памятников, Рим продолжает вдохновлять новые поколения дизайнеров, которые, в свою очередь, не скупятся выражать свою признательность Вечному городу.

58: The Road To La Dolce Vita

Сладкая жизнь

Фильм Федерико Феллини «Сладкая жизнь» 1960 года рассказывает о писателе Марчелло Рубини, которого сыграл Марчелло Мастроянни. Журналист таблоида, герой фланирует между самыми шикарными заведениями города, где встречает всех представителей высшего света – от богатых наследниц и знаменитых актрис до интеллектуалов того времени. Он вкушает все прелести la dolce vita (в переводе с итальянского – «сладкая жизнь») и одновременно ищет любовь и счастье.

Рубини стремится примирить потребность в подлинной эмоциональности со страстью к декадансу и материальности окружающей его жизни. Фильм «Сладкая жизнь» признан шедевром мирового кинематографа. В 1960 году лента получила «Золотую пальмовую ветвь» на Каннском фестивале и премию Оскар за лучшие костюмы. Этот непреходящий успех оставил в веках образ роскошного и великолепного Рима 1950-х, точно схваченного благодаря таланту Феллини, Мастроянни и других. Действие фильма стремительно переносится из одной точки города в другую, от одной культовой достопримечательности к другой, включая Собор Святого Петра и Фонтан Треви. Но именно главная роль отведена одной улице – «Виа Венето». Via Vittorio Veneto, которую в разговорной речи называют просто Виа

Венето, была заложена во время строительного бума 1880-х после присоединения Рима к королевству Италия. К 1950 году эта улица под ее современным именем стала прибежищем состоятельных римлян. Бары и рестораны привлекали голливудских звезд и обеспеченную элиту Италии и других стран. Сюда стекались знаменитости: Одри Хепберн, Орсон Уэллс, Теннесси Уильямс, Коко Шанель и другие. В местных роскошных заведениях звезды давали себе волю после длинного съемочного дня в студии Cinecittà Studios. Эти безрассудные дни ушли в прошлое, но Виа Венето по-прежнему остается одной из самых известных улиц Рима. И поскольку ее роскошная атмосфера теперь овеяна очарованием ностальгии, она стала заманчивым направлением для новых гостей города. Кафе Café de Paris, одно из самых памятных заведений из «Сладкой жизни», уже закрыло свои двери для посетителей. Однако тем, кто хочет попробовать такую жизнь на вкус, стоит побывать в Harry’s Bar. Здесь есть все, чего можно только желать от современного коктейль-бара. àо помимо этого в его интерьерах, пышно отделанных кожей, полированным деревом, мрамором и золотыми листьями, сохранилась частичка высшего света 1960-х. àеудивительно, что этот бар все еще навещает и современная элита, от голливудских звезд до мировых политиков и высокопоставленных особ. Славу Harry’s Bar составляют коктейли, а по вечерам посетители могут наслаждаться живой фортепианной музыкой. àа ужин стоит отправиться в ресторан Doney. Его шеф-повар Джеймс Фоглиени специализируется на восхитительных средиземноморских блюдах, для которых он использует только лучшие местные и сезонные ингредиенты. Подборка блюд в его меню отличается креативностью, однако сохраняет узнаваемый итальянский дух: чего стоит хотя бы тартар из говядины в сопровождении икры из копченого баклажана и черных трюфелей. Или загляните в Café Doney, которое расположено в том же красивом здании:

днем здесь подают легкие блюда, а вечером – идеально смешанные коктейли. В теплое время года стоит расположиться на террасе и наблюдать за гуляющими по Виа Венето людьми. La dolce vita невозможна без модной одежды, поэтому обязательно запланируйте шоппинг на Виа Венето. Донателла Версаче привносит в современность энергию итальянской экстравагантности, и ее коллекции для Versace – ответ образам Феллини из 2017 года. Luisa Spagnoli придерживается более классического (но от того не менее востребованного) подхода к высокой моде. Обратите внимание на красивые вещи в морском стиле из коллекции весна-лето: они напоминают об очаровании 1950-60-х и идеальны для построения вашей собственной сладкой жизни. В бутике Casuccio e Scalera продается лучшая обувь в Италии, сделанная в по-настоящему традиционных техниках, от классических до самых современных моделей. Виа Венето находится в сердце Рима, и если пройти ее всю, то можно не только получить удовольствие от современной культуры, но и погрузиться в старину. àачав

прогулку с Piazza Barberini, остановитесь у большого Фонтана Тритона и не такого масштабного, но столь же красивого Фонтана Пчел. Затем следуйте всем изгибам Виа Венето и по дороге постигайте чудесную архитектуру конца 19 века. А если вам интересен барочный стиль, обязательно спуститесь в богато украшенную крипту под церковью Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini. Другим концом Виа Венето упирается в Порта Пинчиана – древние ворота в Рим, сохранившиеся до сих пор. Это очень важная достопримечательность, но за воротами открывается еще более значительная – сады Виллы Боргезе. Они были спроектированы в 17 веке и входят в число самых красивых в мире. И это именно то место, где приходит осознание, почему Феллини считал Рим самым подходящим местом для наслаждения истинной la dolce vita. 64: Heel Appeal

Тайна каблучка

В 2015 году Аннарита Пилотти была избрана президентом национальной ассоциации Assocalzaturifici Italiani, представляющей интересы обувных брендов Италии. Это решение можно назвать историческим, поскольку Пилотти стала первой в истории организации женщиной-президентом. Для самой Пилотти это также статусное и важное признание ее профессиональных успехов, а также значимости обувной компании Loriblu, в которой она занимает пост исполнительного директора. Марка Loriblu была основана супругом Пилотти Грациано Кукку в 1974 году. Сам Кукку отвечает за дизайн всех коллекций с момента основания бренда и до сегодняшнего дня. Первым по-настоящему успешным проектом стали туфли Mignon: globalblue.com

Кукку создал их в 1978 году, и с тех пор было продано более 110 000 пар. Бренд продолжает развиваться и укреплять репутацию в Италии и за ее пределами благодаря качеству и дизайну. В 1996 году Кукку получил престижную награду Scarpetta d’Oro за необычные туфли из золота и циркона. Это еще раз подтвердило, что благодаря новаторскому подходу Loriblu всегда остается на передовой обувного дизайна.

Исполнительный директор итальянского бренда Loriblu Аннарита Пилотти рассказала Марии Кирхен-Хилл о секретах создания по-настоящему качественной и красивой обуви

107

Официально Пилотти заняла позицию исполнительного директора компании только в 1994 году. Но вкладывалась в дело супруга она с самого начала, и буквально на глазах Loriblu вырос из небольшого предприятия в международный бренд. В 2009 году появился первый собственный бутик марки на знаменитой римской площади Piazza di Spagna, и сегодня их уже 45 по всему миру. А мультибрендовых магазинов, представляющих обувь Loriblu,

просто не счесть. Кукку остается президентом бренда и работает над дизайном каждой коллекции. Пилотти как исполнительный директор отвечает за продажи, маркетинг и коммуникации. По ее словам, это «командная работа», и для нее важно признавать и учитывать вклад каждого члена команды: «Мой муж Грациано возглавляет сплоченную команду, которая продумывает и воплощает все наши модели, – комментирует она. – Мы с отделами маркетинга и продаж также вносим предложения по стилю, цветам, трендам или конструкциям, которые считаем стратегически нужными. Вклад каждого и финальный всеобщий выбор по итогам тщательной фильтрации дают рождение новой коллекции». Ценности компании не изменились с первых дней ее существования: надежность, сервис, качество, великолепный стиль, а также 100% итальянского производства. «Со временем бренд добился узнаваемой и неповторимой идентичности», – комментирует Пилотти. И в самом деле, именно фирменный стиль Loriblu поддерживает лояльность постоянных покупателей. Мужчинам этот бренд предлагает классические по сути, но современные по решению модели, привлекательности которым придают ориентированные на моду элементы. В женских коллекциях компания придерживается более индивидуальной и подвижной эстетики, но неизменно сохраняет классические формы и линии, характерные для итальянской обувной традиции. Loriblu улавливает и понимает основные тренды, и именно это заставляет покупателей вновь и вновь обращаться к бренду. Его сезонные коллекции всегда в высшей степени ориентированы на тенденции. В мужскую коллекцию весналето 2017 вошли бархатные слиперы с вышитыми цветочными и животными узорами. Туфли на каблуках из женской серии обращают на себя внимание благодаря сочным тропическим оттенкам. Аналогично

108

креативность Loriblu проявляется и в капсульных коллекциях: эти авангардные модели навеяны произведениями искусства, природой и высокой модой. Кроме того, бренд выпускает свадебную обувь: изящные туфли для невест и красивые ботинки для женихов, а ценители индивидуального подхода могут заказать к особому случаю пару по мерке. Истинно итальянская по стилю и неподражаемая по качеству исполнения, такая обувь может быть даже персонализирована. Каждый день Loriblu производит 15 000 пар обуви, и каждая из них шьется в собственных мастерских в исторической области Марке. Марке славится обувным делом, и Пилотти комментирует это так: «Наш регион исторически богат на предпринимателей, художников и профессиональных обувщиков, и это уходит на многие десятилетия назад. Мы не единственный обувной район Италии, но мы, определенно, самый важный из них». Отличительное качество и внимание к деталям стало возможным в Loriblu благодаря тому, что вся обувь создается именно в Марке. Loriblu вполне заслуженно ценится за превосходное мастерство и дизайн, и это позволяет компании сотрудничать с другими брендами. Так возник новый большой проект под названием Selene. Этот абсолютно новаторский концепт был разработан совместно с компанией DreamLux: она специализируется на волоконной оптике и запатентовала ткань со светодиодами, которая светится в темноте. Днем туфли Selene представляют собой классические элегантные туфли-лодочки, а вечером на них зажигаются огоньки, и это добавляет элемент неожиданности любому образу. «Олицетворением Селены, греческой богини, была луна, – поясняет Пилотти. – Она появлялась на закате, в полной темноте, такая романтичная и чарующая». Самым большим предметом гордости для Пилотти стало мировое качество обуви Loriblu. Во всем мире бренд известен как посланник высоких стандартов, подтвержденных ярлыком Made in Italy. И globalblue.com

все же, своим успехом марка обязана тому, что принято считать простым и традиционным – семейному делу. И будущее Пилотти связывает с семьей: «Прежде всего, с энтузиазмом продолжать работать всем вместе. Наши дочери и сыновья все активнее вовлекаются в жизнь компании. Смена поколений неизбежно произойдет, но я надеюсь, что мы с Грациано сможем по-прежнему быть в этом деле с той же страстью, как и первые 40 лет».

日本語 48: To Rome, With Love ローマへ、愛をこめて

PHOTO: BETH WILSON

コロッセオ、トレビの泉、スペイン階段などローマを象徴する名所は地元デザイナーにとって豊かなインスピレーションの源だ。そうして創造性を刺激してもらったデザイナーたちが、そのお返しとして修復に気前よく協力している。サリー・マキルホーンがレポートする。ローマのデザイナーは、一歩外に出さえすればインスピレーションの源はいくらでもある。見事な建築物や魅力的な史跡を誇るこの都市には世界有数の高級ブランドがいくつかあり、後者が前者の影響を受けていても不思議はない。実際、一部のデザイナーレーベルは『永遠の都』を象徴する不朽の建造物に魅せられ、そうした特別の思い入れが高じて、改修費用支援を行ったりファッションショーの舞台にする形で賛美の念を表している。革製品ブランドのトッズは市の建築遺産担当部門と共同で、ローマ随一の歴史的建造物コロッセオ

円形闘技場を修復した。社長兼CEOのディエゴ・デッラ・ヴァッレはこのプロジェクトに2500万ユーロを注ぎ込んだといわれ、5年かけた第1期工事が2016 年7月に完成した。まず表面のマッピングを行い、柔らかな霧状スプレーで何十年分もの埃や汚れを取り除いてから、穴やひび割れを補修し、剥がれかけた化粧漆喰は伝統的な材料を使ってやり直す作業が行われた。この修復は表面積1万3300平方メートルにおよび、新たなゲートも設置された。コロッセオの外観は大いに改善され、それまで黒ずんでいた部分が今は白く光って通行人を中へと誘っている。次期工事は、剣闘士や猛獣が自らの運命を決する時を待った地下部分が対象となる。来場者がコロッセオの壁の外側から地下部分に入れるようにするのが狙いだ。「アリーナが完成すれば、さらに美しい所になりますよ」と、ダリオ・フランチェスキーニ文化相はガーディアン紙に語っている。こうした修復工事によって、この円形闘技場は将来「最高レベルの文化イベント（フランチェスキーニ談）」にも使用できるようになる。深みから現れる神話上の人物や気高き軍馬の像が取り巻く見事な噴水、トレビの泉はフェンディ

が200万ユーロ超を投じて「愛着心から生まれた奉仕」プロジェクトとして修復した。完成した噴水は 2015年11月3日に除幕されたが、フェンディはさらに 2016年7月にここで創立90周年のクチュールショーを開催して花を添えた。透明のキャットウォーク上を歩くモデルたちが水面を滑るように見え、伝説やおとぎ話をテーマとしたショーにふさわしい演出となった。フェンディのCEOピエトロ・ベッカーリはこの修復について、次のように語った。「フェンディといえばローマ、ローマといえばフェンディ。フェンディは、90 年前の創業の地であり、以来常にインスピレーションを与えてくれたローマと深い絆で結ばれています。修復プロジェクトの費用支援は、慈善事業としてだけでなく、これまでフェンディを育ててくれた永遠の都への恩返しとしてもとても重要だったのです。」ブルガリも同様の感謝の気持ちでスペイン階段の修復に臨んだ。「ローマはいつもブルガリの一番のインスピレーション源。ですから、ローマがブルガリに与えてくれたものをお返しするのは当然のことです」と、チーフエグゼクティブのジャン・クリストフ・ババンは話している。実際に150万ユーロを支援して、スペイン階段の清掃・修理がこの場所にふさわしい細心の注意を払いながら行われるようにしている。ブルガリはさらに、カラカラ浴場のモザイクを修復する継続的プロジェクトにも出資している。修復が終わったスペイン階段は、ブルガリのアクセサリー発表を控えた昨年9月に改めて公開された。映画「ローマの休日」のファンは今、スペイン階段をオードリー・ヘップバーンよろしくそぞろ歩いてからブルガリのブティックに立ち寄り、このジュエラーがローマのためにしてくれたことに報いることができる。ジュエリーデザイナーのデルフィナ・デレトレズがインスピレーションの源とするモニュメントは、比較的知られていない。1920年代に建築家のジーノ・コッペデがコッペデ地区に建てた噴水だ。中世、バロック、アールデコ、アールヌーボーのスタイルをブレンドするコッペデの形象の使い方が、デレトレズのデザインに影響を与えている。「全て隠れたシンボリズムなんですが、ちょっと皮肉が効いてるんです。おとぎ話が混ざり合ってるみたいで、全く違うパラレルユニバースが出現したり創造されたりするんです。だから、ゴシックもあればアールデコもあり、リバティがあれば中世もある。素晴らしいですよ」というデレトレズ。おとぎ話の噴水からアイコニックな階段、とびきり印象的な史跡など、ローマは新世代のデザイナーにインスピレーションを与え続ける。そして、恩恵を受ける者は躊躇なく永遠の都に対する感謝の念を表すのだ。 globalblue.com

58: The Road To La Dolce Vita ラ・ドルチェ・ヴィータを訪ねてフェリーニ監督の1960年の映画で不朽の名声を得たヴェネト通りは、今でもローマで最も魅力ある通りの一つ。ハンナ・ルイスが散策した。名画として広く知られるフェデリコ・フェリーニの 1960年映画『ラ・ドルチェ・ヴィータ（邦題「甘い生活」）』は、マルチェロ・マストロヤンニ演じるライターのマルチェロ・ルビーニがローマの上流社会と交わって生きる姿を追ったストーリーだ。タブロイド紙のジャーナリストであるルビーニは、この都市の最も魅力的なスポットを舞台に立ち回り、富豪の娘や有名女優、時代を代表する知識人など様々な人々と出会う。ルビーニは「ラ・ドルチェ・ヴィータ（甘い生活）」を送りながら愛と幸せを求めるが、情緒的に満たされた意味のある人生を送りたいという気持ちと、自分を取り巻く退廃と物質的快楽に陶酔したい気持ちのせめぎ合いに苦しむ。批評家から高い評価を得たこの映画は1960年カンヌ映画祭でパルムドールを受賞したほか、同年のアカデミー賞でも最優秀衣装デザイン賞に輝き、現代でも傑作の誉れ高い。そうした評判が長続きしているおかげで、フェリーニ、マストロヤンニ等が巧みにとらえた1950年代ローマの魅惑と放蕩のイメージは今も人々の心に刻まれている。映像にはサン・ピエトロ大聖堂やトレビの泉などローマを象徴するランドマークが現れるが、中心的な舞台となっているのがヴェネト通りだ。ヴィットリオ・ヴェネト通り（通称「ヴェネト通り」）は、ローマがイタリア王国に併合された直後の 1880年代に起きた不動産ブームで築かれた。1950 年代までには現在の名称で呼ばれるようになり、ローマの富裕層が集って羽目を外す場所になった。魅力的なバーやレストランには、ハリウッドスターをはじめとしてイタリア内外から裕福なエリートが訪れた。オードリー・ヘップバーン、オーソン・ウェルズ、テネシー・ウィリアムズ、ココ・シャネルといった有名人が気に入ってよく来店した。チネチッタ撮影所で一日の撮影を終えたスターたちが、大通り沿いの華麗なベニューでくつろいだものだ。そんな栄華は過去のものとなったが、ヴェネト通りがローマで最も有名な通りの一つであることに変わりはない。高級感にノスタルジックな魅力も加わったこの通りは、ローマを訪れる観光客に人気のスポットになっている。『甘い生活』のロケ地の中で最も印象に残るカフェ・ド・パリは閉店してしまったが、甘い生活を味わってみたいという人はハリーズ・バーに行くといい。

モダンなカクテルバーで何でも注文できる気軽さがありつつ、皮革や磨き込まれた木、大理石、金箔といった贅沢な内装の店内に1960年代のローマ上流社会を垣間見ることができる。今でもハリウッドスターや国際政治家・高官などローマを訪れるエリートがここを訪れるというのも不思議ではない。ハリーズ・バーはカクテルが有名で、毎夜ピアノの生演奏を楽しめるのも売りだ。高級料理ならレストラン「ドネイ」。ここもエリートがよく来る店だ。エグゼクティブ・シェフのジェームズ・フォリエーニは、地元でとれる旬の上質素材だけを使ったとびきりの地中海料理を出すことで知られる。メニューは例えば燻製ナス、キャビア、黒トリュフをあしらったビーフタルタルなど創作料理が並ぶが、フレーバーは確かにイタリアンだ。同じ美しい建物の中にあるカフェ・ドネイもいい。日中はリラックスした感じの軽食、夜は完璧にミックスされたカクテルで知られる。暖かい季節には、テラスのテーブルがピープルウォッチに最適だ。『甘い生活』はファッションでも有名なので、ヴェネト通りの高級ファッションブティックも必ず訪ねたい。ヴェルサーチではドナテッラ・ヴェルサーチがインパクト満点の華麗なファッションを提供。フェリーニのビジョンに応え、贅沢なイタリア高級ファッションを現代的にアップデートして見せている。ルイーザ・スパニョーリではもっと古典的なアプローチで

華やぎを追求。こちらも欲しくなる装いだ。春夏物では、1950年代から1960年代の華やかさを湛えた作品に注目したい。海をテーマにした美しい装いは自分なりの甘い生活を演出するのにぴったりだ。カスッチオ・エ・スカレラでは伝統の技を駆使して作られた最高級イタリアンフットウェアをチェック。クラシックなスタイルからとびきりモダンなものまで揃っている。ヴェネト通りはローマの中心にあり、端から端まで歩くと刺激的な現代文化だけでなく古き良きローマの魅力も体験できる。バルベリーニ広場から出発し、トリトンの噴水や小ぶりながら美しさでは負けない蜂の噴水を愛でた後、ヴェネト通りに沿って歩きながら19世紀後半築の建物の美しさを堪能しよう。バロックスタイルに興味のある人なら、ついでにサンタマリア・デッラ・コンチェツィオーネ・デイ・カプチーニ教会の地下にある装飾的な納骨堂に立ち寄ると他では味わえないユニークな経験になるだろう。ヴェネト通りの終点は、古代ローマの城門で現在も立つピンチアーナ門だ。この門はもちろん見逃せない観光名所だが、その向こうにあるボルゲーゼ公園はそれに優る。17世紀に造られたこの公園の美しさは世界有数で、ここに立てば、フェリーニがなぜ「ラ・ドルチェ・ヴィータ」の舞台にローマを選んだかも想像に難くない。

64: Heel Appeal ヒールの魅力アンナリータ・ピロッティは優雅で華麗な極上の靴を専門とするイタリア企業ロリブルのCEOだ。マリア・キルヘン・ヒルが贅沢感あふれるフットウェアづくりの秘密を聞き出した。アンナリータ・ピロッティは2015年に、イタリアのフットウェアブランドの利益を代表する全国団体「イタリア靴メーカー協会」の会長に指名された。同協会史上初の女性会長という意味で、この人事は画期的だった。ピロッティとしても、自分がCEOを務める有名高級フットウェアブランド「ロリブル」の成功と重要性が認められたわけで、栄誉であると同時にエキサイティングな任命だった。ロリブルはピロッティの夫であるグラツィアーノ・クックが1974年に創立した。同ブランドのデザインは全てクックが担当しているが、彼の最初の大ヒット作は「ミニョン」シューズだった。1978年に発売されたこの靴は11万足以上売れた。その後ブランドは成長を続け、品質とデザインで高い評判をイタリア内外で獲得する。クックは1996年にゴールドにジルコニアを配した出色の靴でスカルペッタ・ドーロ賞を受賞し、革新と高級品で靴デザイン界をリードするブランドというロリブルの評判をゆるぎないものにした。ピロッティがCEOとして加わったのは1994年になってからだが、夫のビジネスには創業当初から深く関わっており、ロリブルが小さなレーベルから国際ブランドへと成長していくのを見てきた。2009年に初のモノブランドブティックをローマの名所スペイン広場にオープンしたロリブルは現在、全世界に45の専門店を持ち、同社の商品を取り扱う小売店は数知れない。クックは社長の地位に留まって各コレクションのデザイン面を担当し、CEOのピロッティが営業、マーケティング、広報を担当する。「チームワークです」というピロッティは、各チームメンバーのインプットを認識することも忘れない。「夫のグラツィアーノはとても緊密なチームを組織して、モデルの一つ一つをチームで考え、実現しています。私もマーケティング・営業チームと共に、戦略的に有用だと思われるスタイリングや色、トレンドや構造について提案します。各人が力を出し合い、慎重に選考した後に最終的に共同選択することによって、コレクションを生み出すことができるのです。」ロリブルの基本理念は創業時から変わらない。信頼性、サービスの良さ、品質、100%イタリア製の製品、そして優れたスタイルだ。「当ブランドははっきりした独自のアイデンティティを徐々に確立してきま globalblue.com

した」とピロッティがいう通り、ロリブル独特のスタイルに魅かれたファンが強固な顧客ベースを成している。ロリブルのメンズシューズはクラシックでありながらモダンで、流行の要素も加味したスタイルを提供してくれる。一方、ウーマンズの美学は個性と華やかさを追求しつつ、優れたイタリア靴の形とラインを大切にしている。主なトレンドを取り入れる点もリピート客をロリブルに惹きつける要素の一つで、各シーズンのコレクションは常に最先端を行っている。2017年春夏は、メンズなら様々な動植物を刺繍したベルベットのスリッパに注目したい。ウーマンズコレクションの中で出色なのは、熱帯の大胆でジューシーな色彩を使ったヒールだ。ロリブルはシーズナルコレクションはもちろんカプセルコレクションでも創造性が光り、アートや自然界、オートクチュールからインスピレーションを得た前衛的なデザインを繰り出す。精緻なブライダルシューズや贅沢な花婿用のシューズも作っており、お得意様にはオーダーメードの靴も提供する。それらはとびきり華やかなイタリアンスタイルの靴で、パーソナライゼーションもできる。ロリブルでは毎日1万5000足の靴を生産するが、

113

は説明してくれた。これまでにロリブルが成し遂げたことで彼女が最も誇りに思うのは、国際的に知られる品質だ。同ブランドは、「メイド・イン・イタリア」の製品マークに象徴される高水準のアンバサダーとして世界的に知られる。ただ、こうした成功は全てシンプルで伝統的なもの、つまり家族経営の賜物だ。将来に向けたピロッティのプランは、「何といっても、家族と共に情熱を持って仕事に取り組み続けること。息子や娘が会社での存在感を強めています。世代交代は必要でしょう。でも、グラツィアーノも私もここにいて、創立からの40年間と同じ情熱を注い続けていければと思っています。
