Diaphanous Passions

Baroque Ivories from the Courts of Europe

For almost two centuries, from the mid-16th century on, the courts of Europe considered ivory sculpture to be one of the loftiest and most sophisticated forms of artistic expression.

The most important sculptors of the Baroque era both in Italy and across the Alps, and even as far afield as the Portuguese and Spanish colonies, tried their hand at this highly complex and difficult technique in which the artist's skill was matched only by the preciousness and rarity of the raw material. Throughout Europe emperors and grand dukes, popes and princes, ranking prelates and wealthy bankers vied for the ivory sculptors' work, often putting together collections of masterpieces in this sophisticated artistic genre, ranging from traditional figurative work to fully-fledged tours de force in turned ivory – which merged the pleasure of visual capriccio with the scientific stringency of mathematical calculation.

Ferdinando I de' Medici (1549-1609) started one of the most spectacular collections of carved ivory in Europe, and the collection went from strength to strength over the years, eventually comprising several hundred items before the dynasty became extinct. In terms of its size, quality and importance, the Medici collection was paralleled only by that of the imperial court in Vienna and that of the princes in Dresden. Cups and reliefs, mythological compositions and genre scenes, saints and portraits of princesses, turned towers and trinkets: every aspect of figurative and abstract art is reflected in the ivories in the Florentine collection.

The Medici ivories are now in the Museo degli Argenti in Palazzo Pitti, where they form one of the leading attractions in the rooms on the ground floor, allowing the visitor to enter a magic world of graceful diaphanous objects which appear to have leapt straight out of a fairy tale.

focus | exhibition

The exhibition, comprising over one hundred and fifty pieces both from the Florentine collection and from leading foreign museums, along with other ivories from private collections never before shown in public, will write a new and spectacular chapter in art history, a chapter never yet studied in any depth, especially not in its "international" aspect which was such a unique feature of the Medici collections.

The exhibition is broken down into several sections tracing the art of ivory carving from the 15th century, when it caught Lorenzo the Magnificent's eye, through the High Renaissance and later, right up to the explosion of the Baroque with works by the Flemish artists, and by Leonhard Kern, François Duquesnoy and Georg Petel, who practiced their art in Italy for many years and who took the technique of ivory carving to the highest level.

The man who invented this kind of item in the late 16th century was an Italian, Giovanni Ambrogio Maggiore, in service in the courts of Germany.

Until November 3rd.

Изысканные сувениры из слоновой кости в стиле барокко — наследие королевских дворов Европы. На протяжении почти двух столетий, начиная с середины 16-го века, во дворах Европы одной из самых утонченных и сложных форм художественного выражения считается скульптура из слоновой кости. Фердинандо I Медичи (1549-1609 гг.) положил начало одной из самых захватывающих коллекций резных изделий из слоновой кости в Европе, которая из года в год пополнялась все новыми экземплярами пока не стала насчитывать несколько сотен предметов, на момент заката династии. По своим объемам, качеству и значимости коллекция Медичи сравнима лишь с коллекцией венского королевского двора и коллекцией дрезденских принцев. Благодаря этой выставке, насчитывающей более ста пятидесяти экземпляров из флорентийской коллекции и коллекций наиболее известных зарубежных музеев, а также различных скульптур из слоновой кости из частных коллекций, никогда прежде не выставляемых на показ широкой аудитории, можно будет открыть новые и захватывающие моменты в истории искусства, которые до сих пор не получали должного внимания, особенно в их «международном» аспекте, который является основной особенностью коллекции Медичи. Выставка разбита на несколько разделов, которые отслеживают развитие искусства резьбы по слоновой кости с 15-го века, когда на него обратил взор Лоренцо Великолепный в эпоху Высокого Возрождения и позже, вплоть до эпохи наивысшего расцвета барокко с работами фламандских художников и, в частности, работами Леонарда Керна, Франсуа Дюкесно и Джорджа Петеля, практиковавших свое искусство в Италии в течение многих лет и достигших высочайшего уровня в технике резьбы по слоновой кости.

Wrap yourself up in style and beauty, wear glamorous shoes and clothes, try the look of the most recent and trendy bags, eyeglasses and accessories.

Eleonora Gori talks passionately and knowledgeably while describing the history of the Graziella Group company, which has been carrying out high-level jewellery with style and elegance for over 50 years. Above all she enthusiastically talks about her mother, Graziella Buoncompagni as, in 1958, she was responsible for creating this brand name that is an essential reference point in high fashion jewellery Made-in Italy.

Italian fashion, much of which has always been centred in Florence, is famous throughout the world. In February 1951, the first show featuring Italian fashions was held at Giovanni Battista Giorgini’s beautiful home on Via dei Serragli, Villa Torrigiani. The show’s protagonists were Fontana, Jole Veneziani, Fabiani, Simonetta, Germana Marucelli, Pucci, Noberasco, Carosa, Schuberth and a few others.

FASHION VALLEY — новая галерея складов-магазинов ведущих модных бутиков в Леччио, всего в 30 минутах езды от Флоренции. Посвятите часть Вашего времени увлекательному шопингу в этом недавно построенном комплексе с персоналом, разговаривающим на различных языках и готовым помочь Вам сделать наилучший выбор.

Элеонора Гори увлеченно рассказывает историю компании «Graziella Group», которая на протяжении вот уже 50 лет с гордостью придерживается высокого стиля и элегантности в ювелирном искусстве. Превыше всего она ставит заслуги собственной матери, Грациеллы Буонкомпаньи, которая в 1958ом году создала этот бренд, до сих пор являющийся неизменным отправным пунктом для высокой моды в итальянском ювелирном искусстве.

Итальянская мода, значительная часть которой сосредоточилась во Флоренции, самая известная в мире. В феврале 1951-го год первый показ, посвященный итальянской моде был оборудован в прекрасном доме Джованни Баттиста Джорджини на Виа дельи Серральи в Вилле Торриджани. Главными героями этого показа были Фонтана, Йоле Венециани, Фабиани, Симонетта, Джермана Маручелли, Пуччи, Нобераско, Кароза, Шуберт и некоторые другие.

Cappelle Medicee Tuscan Wines The austere construction that hosts the Medici Chapels, created by the family as a huge mausoleum, can be reached from the apse of the Church of San Lorenzo in Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini. It is composed of two main parts, the New Sacristy, built by Michelangelo from 1519, and the great Chapel of the Princes, where the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and their families are buried, which dates from a century later . Строгость форм, которая отличает Капеллы Медичи, построенные в качестве величественного семейного мавзолея, была украшена апсидой церкви СанЛоренцо на Пьяцца Мадонна дельи Альдобрандини. Это сооружение состоит из двух частей: Новой Сакристии, построенной Микеланджело в 1519-ом году, и большой Капеллы Монархов, где были похоронены Великие Герцоги Тосканы и члены их семьи, постройка которой датируется веком позже.

Tuscany, as we know, produces some very high quality wines. Its hills are covered in vineyards, one of the oldest forms of farming in Italy and nowhere else can boast such a wide variety of wines. Here you can taste the best of the red wines from the Chianti, the Brunello of Montalcino, the Vino Nobile of Montepulciano and the Carmignano or the Morellino of Scansano, just to mention some of those known worldwide, or the freshest of white wines, like the Vernaccia of San Gimignano, the Pomino, the Ansonica or the Elba wines. В Тоскане, как известно, производятся вина высочайшего качества. Ее холмы покрыты виноградниками и в никакая другая местность не может похвалиться таким выбором вин. Здесь можно продегустировать лучшие в мире красные вина как например Брунелло ди Монтальчино, Вино Нобиле ди Монтепульчано, Карминьяно и Мореллино ди Скансано, Помино, Ансоника и вина Ельбы .

Leon Battista Alberti's Florence

Leon Battista Alberti sketch for a self-portrait

26

A supreme architect and town planner, a prodigious scholar and an extremely acute art theorist, but also a mathematician, painter, archaeologist, physicist, chemist and musician, Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) was the man that embodied the universal ideals of Humanism before Leonardo. He possessed an intellect capable of penetrating the most diverse fields, of formulating original syntheses of reason and beauty, of defining the rules of a new aesthetics and of shaping the sensibility of an epoch.

Born out of wedlock but immediately legitimatised by his father Lorenzo, Leon Battista Alberti entered this world in Genoa in the year 1404, a member of an aristocratic and wealthy Florentine family of merchants and bankers that had been exiled from Florence

for political reasons in 1377.

Following his father wherever he moved, he studied classical subjects at the best universities: literature in Venice and Padua, law and Greek in Bologna. But from an early age he privately cultivated the most diverse scientific and artistic interests: music, painting, sculpture, architecture, physics, mathematics. The immensity of his curiosity and knowledge made him the greatest example of the Renaissance Man, the researcher of the microcosm and the macrocosm, universal in his openness, in many aspects the predecessor of the genius of Leonardo da Vinci.

The return to Florence from exile between 1428 and 1432 was an occasion for Alberti to get closer to the works of the great innovators Brunelleschi, Donatello, Masaccio.

And it was to Brunelleschi that in 1436 he dedicated his De Pictura (which he himself

Непревзойденный архитектор и градостроитель, потрясающий ученый и чрезвычайно утонченный теоретик искусства, а также математик, живописец, археолог, физик, химик и музыкант, Леон Баттиста Альберти (1404-1472) — это человек, который воплотил универсальные идеалы Гуманизма еще до Леонардо да Винчи. Родившийся вне брака, но вскоре узаконенный отцом Лоренцо, Леон Баттиста Альберти увидел этот свет в Генуе, в 1404-ом году, в аристократической и благосостоятельной флорентийской семье купцов и банкиров, которая в то время была в изгнании по политическим мотивам с 1377-го года. Сопровождая своего отца, куда бы тот не направлялся, он изучал азы классического образования в самых лучших университетах: литературу в Венеции и Падуе, право и греческий язык в Болонье. Но уже с раннего возраста он культивировал в себе самые разнообразные научные и художественные интересы, такие как: музыка, живопись, скульптура, архитектура, физика и математика. Возвращение во Флоренцию из изгнания произошло между 1428-ым и 1432-ым годами и

translated into vernacular as Della Pittura), a treatise destined to define the rules of figurative arts: the perspective method according to firm geometrical principles, the theory of proportions based on anatomy, the theory of light and visible rays in relation to the colours, the harmonious composition of the "stories".

Alberti's treatise was absorbed by many artists close to him, such as Donatello, Filippo Lippi, Beato Angelico, Ghiberti, Luca Della Robbia, and was probably read by the younger ones, among them Botticelli, Filippino, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raffaello, and thus steered a new course for the figurative arts of the second half of the 15th century, leading to the full Renaissance of the 16th century.

It was thus that in little more than twenty years, from 1450 until his death, the designs of extraordinary works were created. In Florence, Alberti's imprint can be seen in particular in the Palazzo Rucellai, the model for a nobleman's urban residence, in the shrine of the Holy Sepulchre in the church of San Pancrazio, in the completion of the faรงade of Santa Maria Novella, in the gallery of the Santissima Annunziata. And surprisingly we even feel the need to reconsider the designer of the Palazzo Pitti, in its 15th-century nucleus, in the light of the theoretical and practical experience of Alberti. His radius of activity also extended into the countryside, with the apse of the parish church of San Martino a Gangalandi and the Medici villas of Fiesole and Poggio a Caiano, the latter of which was probably built based on his design. Other important works of Alberti in Italy are the Malatesta Temple in Rimini and the churches of San Sebastiano and Sant'Andrea in Mantua.

Alberti died in Rome on April 25, 1472. A few years later (1485), Lorenzo de Medici launched the fortune of his most important treatise by having De Re Aedificatoria (until then copied by hand) printed by the prestigious editor Agnolo Poliziano, thus realising a project that Leon Battista himself had dreamed of.

The Ideal City of Urbino represents one of the most faithful reconstructions of the architecture described by Alberti in the De Re Aedificatoria. The new approach is applied not only to the views of the city, but also to the representation of elegant residences.

The Ideal City, classical symbol of the formal perfection reached by Renaissance architecture and city planning,

has revealed its probable source – it seems that Leon Battista Alberti is responsible for this mysterious and universally known 15th century painting.

This is the proposal of an original itinerary: a journey through a ‘secret’ city of a historic and artistic value equal to that of the considerably more famous ‘city of Brunelleschi’ The list is very long: it includes the Chapel of the Crucifix in San Miniato and the portico of the Pazzi Chapel in Santa Croce, the cupola and cloister of San Lorenzo and the shrine of Santissima Annunziata, the marble facings of the drum of the Cupola of the Duomo right through to Palazzo Pitti The shadow of Leon Battista Alberti stretches over Florence and Tuscany well beyond the well-known works designed for the Rucellai (Palazzo Rucellai, the Holy Sepulchre in the nearby church of San Pancrazio, the facade of Santa Maria Novella), and beyond the ancient style rotonda of the new choir of Santissima Annunziata, designed in 1470 for his patron the marquis Lodovico Gonzaga.

позволило Альберти сблизиться лучше с работами таких великих новаторов, как Брунеллески, Донателло, Мазаччо. Именно Брунеллески в 1436-ом году он посвятил свой трактат о прикладном искусстве «О живописи», в котором дал определения правилам прикладного искусства: метод применения перспективы в сочетании с устойчивыми геометрическими принципами, теория пропорций, основанная на анатомии, теория легких и видимых лучей в зависимости от цвета, гармоничные композиции «историй». Так сложилось, что за период времени, чуть превышающий двадцать лет, с 1450-го года по год его смерти, все проекты наиболее значимых работ были завершены. Во Флоренции рука Альберти особо чувствуется в замысле Дворца Ручеллаи, модель которого была создана для городской резиденции этого дворянина, в сооружении Гроба Господня в церкви Сан-Панкрацио, в завершенном фасаде церкви Санта Мария Новелла, в галерее Сантиссима Аннунциата. Другими значимыми работами Альберти в Италии являются Храм Малатеста в Римини и в церквях Сан-Себастьяно и Сант-Андреа в Мантуе. Альберти умер в Риме 25 апреля 1472-го года. Несколькими годами позже (1485) Лоренцо де Медичи потратил целый капитал на публикацию 10 томов самого важного трактата маэстро «О зодчестве» (до этого он был написан вручную) и распечатал его копии у престижного на то время издателя Аньоло Полициано, воплотив таким образом в жизнь мечту самого Леона Баттиста.

Santa Maria Novella Santa Maria Novella is chronologically the first of the great Florentine basilicas. Its name, “Novella�, comes from the fact that it was built on the site of a 9th century oratory, called Santa Maria delle Vigne, which had already been enlarged in 1094. In 1221 this church and the surrounding area was assigned to the Dominican monks, who immediately began to transform it. Construction started on what were to be the sumptuous headquarters of the powerful Dominican Order in 1246; designed by two architect monks, Fra Sisto Fiorentino and Fra Ristoro da Campi, it was completed in 1360 under the direction of Fra Iacopo Talenti, who also designed the Spanish Chapel or chapter house (1350-55), the convent Refectory (1353) and the great pointed belltower in Romanesque-Gothic style (1330). The elaborate facade of inlaid black and white marble is a real masterpiece: it was started in 1300 and later completed by Leon Battista Alberti in 1470 and it can perhaps be considered to be the most beautiful of all the Florentine churches. Alberti harmoniously integrated the already existing mediaeval elements by developing them along a classical design, adding a triangular tympanum, as well as creating the two beautifully inlaid lateral volute or scrolls to hide the slope of the roof that covers the side naves.

The interior of the Basilica is built on a Latin cross on the lines of the Cistercian-Gothic style which was imported from France but modified by the Italian mendicant Orders (the Franciscans and the Dominicans), in order to make it easier to preach to large numbers of worshippers.

The interior is therefore divided up into three naves (the centre nave is 100 metres long), without chapels, and develops into a much larger area around the apse, particularly noticeable from Piazza Stazione. The interior of Santa Maria Novella contains a series of works that bear the signatures of Giotto, Andrea Orcagna, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Benedetto da Maiano, Masaccio, Domenico Ghirlandaio and Filippino Lippi. The frescoes inside the Cloisters are the work of Paolo Uccello and the Florentine school of the 13th to 15th century.

Palazzo Rucellai In the Florentine society of the mid 15th century, the merchant Giovanni Rucellai was rapidly becoming one of the wealthiest and most respected men in the city. He entrusted to Alberti the design of his new palazzo in Via della Vigna.

It can be considered the prototype of the Renaissance mansion. Alberti’s intervention was concentrated in the reorganisation of the pre-existing Rucellai dwellings and on the facade, marked by pure and elegant geometrical forms. Leon Battista Alberti achieved for his patron a dwelling of classical flavour which greatly enhanced the latter’s prestige.

The three stories of the Rucellai facade have different classical orders, as in the Colosseum, but with the Tuscan order at the base, a Renaissance original in place of the Ionic order at the second level, and a very simplified Corinthian order at the top level. Twin-lit, roundarched windows in the two upper stories are set within arches with highly pronounced voussoirs that spring from pilaster to pilaster. The facade is topped by a projecting cornice..

Палаццо Ручеллаи Во флорентийском обществе в середине пятнадцатого века купец Джованни Ручеллаи быстро взошел в ранг самых состоятельных и уважаемых мужей города. Он доверил Альберти постройку своего нового дворца на Виа делла Винья, который и по сей день считается первым примером архитектуры в стиле Ренессанса. Работа Альберти заключалась в реорганизации уже существующего жилища Ручеллаи и фасада, отличающегося чистотой и элегантностью форм. Леон Баттиста Альберти создал для своего покровителя жилье в классическом вкусе, которое значительно увеличило престиж последнего. Три этажа фасада Ручеллаи принадлежат различным классическим ордерам, как и в римском Колизее, хотя здесь основание выполнено в Тосканском ордере, в стиле аутентичного Ренессанса выполнен второй уровень вместо ионического ордера, очень упрощенный коринфский ордер венчает здание сверху. Окна на два проема под круглыми арками украшают два верхних этажах, выполненных из ярко выраженного рустованного камня, переходящего от пилястра к пилястру. Завершающим элементом фасада является специально запроектированный карниз.

Frilli Gallery Sculpture Art Studio in Florence Since 1860

S

ince 1860 Frilli Gallery is a manufacturer of handcarved marble and hand-chiselled bronze sculptures for interior and garden decoration.

The Gallery presents a wide range of Greek, Roman, Classical, Renaissance, Art Nouveau and Contemporary statues. The top quality replicas produced are highly valued “lost wax” bronze castings from original molds or hand carved white Carrara marbles, alabasters and stones.

During 150 years of activity, Frilli Gallery has become the name of reference for private collectors , hotels, i nterior designers, worldwide museums. Over the years Frilli Gallery pieces have been purchased by royal families, shown at international exhibitions . Throughout this time, the Frilli Gallery has remained true to its mission: to bring “authentic” replicas of pieces of classic and modern sculpture to contemporary residences, villas and parks.

“Authentic” replicas may sound as a contradiction in itself. But not many people know that replicas were already popular in antiquity. Most of the classical pieces shown in museums today are actually replicas of lost originals that became even more popular in the Renaissance as Roman and Greek art was rediscovered.

There are few private art galleries in the world that can still bring new emotions to the visitors. The Frilli Gallery in Florence is one of those. Masterful replicas to be touched, caressed probed freely with your own hand, fingers.

This experience will not leave one unmoved.

С

1860-го года Галерея Фрилли является изготовителем произведений из инкрустированного мрамора и бронзовых статуй ручной работы для интерьера и садовых декораций. Галерея представляет широкий спектр статуй в греческом, римском, классическом стиле, в стиле эпохи Ренессанса, стиле «модерн» и современном стиле. Высококачественные копии, сделанные с применением техники «потерянного воска» из бронзового литься с использованием подлинных опалубок или выполненные вручную из белого каррарского мрамора, алебастрового камня и других каменных материалов. В течении 151 года деятельности Галерея Фрилли стала отправным пунктом для многих коллекционеров, отелей, дизайнеров интерьера, а также музеев всего мира. За эти годы произведения Галереи Фрилли заказывались королевскими династиями и выступали в качестве экспонатов на международных выставках. Миссия Галереи Фрилли заключается в том, чтобы украшать «подлинными» частицами классической и современной скульптуры нынешние резиденции, виллы и парки. «Подлинные» копии — звучит противоречиво на первый взгляд. Однако, немногие знают, что копии имели огромную популярность уже в древности. Большинство классических произведений, выставляемых на показ в музеях, на самом деле являются копиями утерянных подлинников, которые приобрели особое признание в эпоху Возрождения, когда имело место переосмысление канонов красоты древнегреческого и древнеримского искусства.

Церковь Сан-Панкрацио и Капелла Ручеллаи

San Pancrazio & Cappella Rucellai

Located in the square with the same name, behind Palazzo Rucellai, San Pancrazio is now a deconsecrated church, that today hosts the contemporary art museum dedicated to the sculptor Marino Marini. The church was built in the early Christian age, and is documented from 931 being eon of the oldest church in town; according to the historian Giovanni Villani, it would have been founded by Charlemagne. The annexed monastery was created in 1157, while the church was restored end enlarged from the 14th century. The cloister houses a fresco by Neri di Bicci.

Giovanni Rucellai commissioned Leon Battista Alberti to build a chapel on the church's side (the only part of the church still consecrated today), which was finished in 1467. This includes the notable tempietto del Santo Sepolcro (Shrine of the Holy Sepulchre),

Церковь Сан-Панкрацио сегодня является секуляризированной церковью, где находится музей современного искусства имени скульптора Марино Марини. Церковь была построена в раннюю христианскую эпоху и является одной из древнейших в городе. Джованни Ручеллаи заказал Леону Баттиста Альберти постройку капеллы рядом с церковью, которая была завершена в 1467-ом году. Она включает в себя знаменитое подобие храма Гроба Господня, чья форма напоминает Гроб Господень в Иерусалиме, воспроизведенная в строгой классической манере. По прямоугольному периметру церковь украшена мраморными инкрустациями. Внешние мраморные инкрустации основываются на традиционном флорентийском романском стиле, том же, в котором были выполнены и Баптистерий Сан-Джованни, церковь СанМиньято аль Монте и Аббатство во Фьезоле. Альберти обратился к традиции, чтобы упорядочить и модернизировать ее, не отказываясь, однако, от ее наследия.

The shrine of the Holy Sepulchre inside the Rucellai Chapel on the right: Coat of arms of Giovanni Rucellai

The shape of the temple is inspired by that of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, reinterpreted in a strictly classical manner.

On a rectangular plan, set on the golden mean, walls raise punctuated by fluted Corinthian pilasters and paneled square decorated with marble inlays. The crown is composed of a battlement in the shape of lilies(probably in honor of the Annunciation to which the chapel was dedicated) and a lanterns with a circular base.

The external decoration of the marble inlays are based on traditional Florentine Romanesque, with examples including the Baptistery of San Giovanni, San Miniato al Monte and the Abbey of Fiesole. Alberti drew on the tradition to regularize and modernize it, though without a clear break, but enhancing their legacy.

Among these panels stand out some heraldic emblems belonging to the most important figures of the time: the sail to the wind explained Giovanni Rucellai, the mazzocchio with three feathers of Cosimo the Elder, the diamond ring with two feathers of Piero de 'Medici and the three interlaced rings of Lorenzo the Magnificent.

The church was modified in the 18th and 19th centuries, and, from 1808, it served the seat of the city's lottery, then as a tribunal and then as a tobacco factory. Museo di Marino Marini of Florence was inaugurated in 1988. All of the art seen in the museum was donated by Marini and his wife Mercedes (Marina) Pedrazzini. The Museo Marino Marini has a very relaxed feel, with a refreshing display of modern art which may come as a nice break from all the Renaissance museums.

Graziella Group Meeting Eleonora Gori

graziella jewel gallery Lungarno Acciaiuoli, 72r Tel. +39.055.211498 www.gruppograziella.it

ELeonora gori talks passionately and knowledgeably while describing the history of the Graziella Group company, which has been carrying out high-level jewellery with style and elegance for over 50 years. Above all, however, she enthusiastically talks about her mother, Graziella Buoncompagni, and her career, as, in 1958, she was responsible for creating this brand name that has spanned decades and is still an essential reference point in high fashion jewellery Made-in Italy.

Graziella is a historic Made-in-Italy brand, so could you tell us about its origins and your family traditions?

The whole thing started and evolved around the figure of my grandmother, a woman possessing great personality and charm, who learned how to make jewellery by hand when she was only 17. Her determination and enthusiasm for this craft soon led her to set up her own goldsmith’s laboratory where she designed new and creative forms for her jewellery. My father and my aunt joined the firm in the 1980’s and extended its activity on a wider scale, managing to find opportunities on the international market where Graziella is still well known for original and finely crafted creations. A love of jewellery that has been passed down for three generations and now involves me in the first person.

What concept lies behind your brand, how do you create your jewellery and what do you think has made your products so successful?

Nowadays Graziella’s collections are born in our creative office, which is a real garden in the interior of our headquarters and where sculptors, designers and artists work together to give life to originally shaped creations. The specialist technology we have used allows us to enrich each piece of jewellery with a huge amount of detail, thus making each single item rather like a sculpture.

And this is precisely what our concept is all about, jewellery with artistic elements that always follows the latest fashion trends.

Интервью с Элеонорой Гори

Элеонора Гори вдохновленно и со знанием дела рассказывает историю компании Группа Грациелла, которая занимается вот уже более 50-ли лет производством ювелирных изделий премиум-класса, отличающихся стилем и элегантностью. Превыше всего, однако, она с энтузиазмом ставит свою мать — Грациеллу Буонкомпаньи и ее карьеру, поскольку в 1958-ом благодаря именно ей родился бренд, которому суждено было просуществовать десятилетия и который и по сей день является пилястром высокой ювелирной моды Made in Italy. Грациелла это исторический бренд Madein-Italy. Расскажите, пожалуйста, о его истоках и о вашей семейной традиции?

Все зародилось и началось с персонажа моей бабушки, женщины с очень сильным характером и обаянием, которая всего в 17 лет научилась ремеслу создавать украшения собственными руками. Решительность и любовь к своему делу быстро привели ее к развитию собственной мастерской золотых дел, где рождались новые формы и новые идеи. В восьмидесятые годы в состав предприятия вошли моё отец и моя тетя, которые сумели расширить деятельность и вывести бренд на международный рынок, где Грациелла до сих пор славится оригинальностью и ценностью своих изделий. Настоящая любовь к ювелирному искусству, которая длится вот уже три поколения и которая затрагивает меня лично.

Diamonds Collection, Florentine carving with brilliants and 18 kt white gold

What most characterises and distinguishes your collection?

Nature with its flowers, animals and colours is our muse.

Our jewellery is in fact often solar and enriched with coloured stones and enamels. We also continue the "Florentine diamond setting" traditions and these are the main components in our Diamond line collections.

Tell us about your group’s social commitments.

Since 2006, with the birth of our GRAZIELLA JEWEL GALLERY in Florence, GRAZIELLA has been engaged in the social matter having set up a charity foundation: FONDAZIONE ANGELO GORI ONLUS in memory of my uncle who died prematurely. The foundation aims to promote and develop basic education, agricultural implements, health care and selfsufficient water supply in third world countries. We have recently ended the building of a public library in Niamey that will be inaugurate later this year.

Что является основой Вашего бренда, как Вы создаете Ваши украшения и в чем залог Вашего успеха? Сегодня коллекции Грациеллы рождаются в нашем творческом центре, самом настоящем саду внутри нашего производства, где скульпторы, модельеры и художники соревнуются в создании особых форм. Технология, на которой мы специализируемся, позволяет воспроизводить максимальное богатство деталей в каждом изделии, делая каждое украшение схожим со скульптурой. Именно это и является основой нашей работы: ювелирные изделия художественной работы, всегда следующие тенденциям моды. Что характеризует и наиболее отличает Вашу коллекцию? Природа — наша главная муза, со своими цветами, животными и красками. Поэтому наши украшения отличаются жизнерадостностью, обогащенные разноцветными камнями и эмалями. Кроме этого, мы следуем традиции «флорентийской оправы» для бриллиантов, которая является эффектным компонентом наших коллекций линии Даймонд. Давайте поговорим о социальной работе Вашей группы. Около 10 лет Фонд Анджело Гори, основанный в память моего дяди, преждевременно ушедшего из жизни, работает в защиту нигерийского населения. Мы построили приют для детей и каждый год стараемся создать новые проекты, чтобы подарить улыбку тем, кому живется сложнее.

Shopping in Florence

Fashion Streets

Italian fashion, much of which has always been centred in Florence, is famous throughout the world. In February 1951, the first show featuring Italian fashions was held at Giovanni Battista Giorgini’s beautiful home on Via dei Serragli, Villa Torrigiani. The show’s protagonists were Fontana, Jole Veneziani, Fabiani, Simonetta, Germana Marucelli, Pucci, Noberasco, Carosa, Schuberth and a few others. In the salon of Villa Torrigiani the models walked down the runway for a few important American buyers and journalists who had come to Europe for the Paris shows, and whom Giorgini had persuaded to come to Florence to see the nascent Italian fashions. In July 1952 Giorgini obtained permission to use the magnificent Sala Bianca of Palazzo Pitti for his fashion shows. Names such as Capucci, Valentino and Armani suddenly acquired worldwide notoriety, and the Made in Italy entered the international scene through the main door. Nowdays Florence boasts some of the finest fashion stores in Italy and is therefore an ideal shopping route for a wide variety of really original and exclusive clothes.

Итальянская мода, большая часть которой всегда была представлена в центре Флоренции, славится во всем мире. В феврале 1951 года, первое шоу с участием итальянской моды было проведено в красивой вилле Джованни Баттиста Джиорджини в Торрижиани. Модели ходили по подиуму , демонстрируя одежду для нескольких важных американских покупателей в июле 1952 . В последнее время марки « Сделано в Италии» вышла на международную сцену через главную дверь. Флоренция может похвастаться одними из лучших магазинов модной одежды в Италии и является идеальным маршрутом по магазинам для приобретения самой разнообразной , оригинальной и эксклюзивной одежды.

Il Bisonte The craft laboratory of Il Bisonte opened in 1970 on the initiative of Wanny di Filippo in historic Palazzo Corsini in Via del Parione, between Via Tornabuoni and the Lungarno, right in the centre of Florence, and soon began producing handbags, bags, wallets, pocket books, belts and a variety of other accessories. Timeless objects carried out in the finest vacchetta leather, in other words, in natural vegetable-tanned hide that becomes increasingly beautiful as age and sunlight build up the patina on its surface. Over the years the company has grown considerably, while maintaining its extremely high level of quality and absolutely exclusive designs. Today Il Bisonte boasts a worldwide distribution. In spite of its expansion, the company has managed to keep its original style and the traditional craft characteristics of its brand intact.

The 2013-2014 autumn-winter collection presents seductive inspiration mixed with the well-known functionality of all the Il Bisonte creations, while models with a classic allure are enriched with precious details and unusual materials.The most noticeable items in the collection are the ‘Strizzata or Wrinkled’ leather models, proposed here in a warm ‘Wood’ brown, and created using a special processing method that gives the calfskin a two-toned wrinkled aspect after first pressing it by hand and then “ironing” it. The printed ‘Anaconda’ leather is also particularly attractive as it reproduces a snakeskin effect on leather with incredible accuracy; it is soft to the touch and produced in this season’s colours: ‘Marron Glacè’, ‘Black Pepper’ and ‘Black Tea’.

The many models also include some splendid, very capacious and practical handbags and totes that however do not forgo several carefully designed details. A strip of leather, like a belt, designs the handles and is joined to the bag with the help of loops and hand stitching.

Other bags range from small bucket bags closed with flaps to practical hand beauty cases. When required, the versatile shoulder bags can be transformed into backpacks and the many pockets (i-pad holder, mobile phone pocket, etc...) can suit every need.

Malìparmi THE BOUTIQUE MALìPARMI IN FLORENCE, LOCATED IN VIA DEL PARIONE 11, PRESENTS ITS FALL WINTER 2013 COLLECTION OF CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES The collection has been called NOMADE remix and the name fully highlights the essence of its proposals.

The common thread of each garment is the remix: creativity and technology are the tools used to remix suggestions drawn from cultures, eras and different countries, concerning the choice of fabrics, colors, prints and embroideries.

The colours are intense and the shades blended together or remixed, ranging from tones of gray to burgundy and red, deep greens and rich browns.

The silhouette is the resultant of a remix of styles: an extremely mannish coat becomes entirely feminine with its printed features, embroidery and linings. Underneath this, a perfect shirt & top set, superimposed and layered with trousers or a full skirt, is completed by high heels, a shopping bag or richly embroidered clutch bag.

The Malìparmi world is composed of a few essential elements: it boasts a long-established history, a close-knit team and with an international experience that maintains a perfect balance between creativity and organization.

One of the characteristics of the brand is that of keeping tradition alive, of looking forward into the future while bearing in mind the important lessons of the past, and using new technologies to reprocess the ancient secrets of the craftsman.

It harmoniously manages to unite what is unique with industry.

As a result, it produces handcrafted and decorative articles that are totally "exclusive", that can suit any woman because she can complete her personality by freely mixing colours, prints and embroidery in varying degrees of eccentricity.

Principe Principe of Florence’s greatest satisfaction is to hear its satisfied customers say phrases like this before they leave the store loaded with bags bursting with articles: "I only wear your clothes and come to Italy once a year so that I can buy up plenty more; you cannot find shirts like these in New York."

Mr. Doni, the owner of the Principe of Florence label, talks enthusiastically about this prestigious shop, which now has stores in Florence, Forte de Marmi and Lucca. In 1935, during the Fascist period, Mr. Doni’s grandfather sold black shirts and became one of the richest entrepreneurs in Florence. His daughter married Mr. Doni’s father who first opened the shop, calling it "Principe" (or Prince) in honour of the Italian monarchy. It later became "Principe of Florence" and has always been synonymous with good taste and simplicity. "Our customers are people who want to dress in elegant, high quality clothes, with a total look, and who love to build up their wardrobe down to the smallest detail." There is a wide range of articles for Men, Women, Children and the Home.

Principe’s identity in taste stays intact and constant in order to uphold its continuity of style. Its shirts, ties, pants, briefs are all beautifully cut and rigorously made in Tuscany, in fact, Principe is not just a brand name, but a "way of life". The Home department sells useful and functional objects required for the daily needs and pleasure for people who know how to appreciate life down to the smallest detail: the range includes candles that give off exquisite scents for the environment, to exclusive silverware for enjoying a good cup of tea, and each piece is chosen with care. Every article or item of clothing is chosen with enthusiasm and dedication by people who put everything into their work, because they love it. Principe means care for detail and whatever is beautiful: it is the perfect place to buy refined gift ideas.

A. Ugolini e Figli A haute couture boutique whose excellence is well worth discovering, together with a friendly welcome from Dr. Niccolò Ugolini.

The history of Ugolini and Sons dates from 1896, when Arturo, Niccolò’s great-grandfather, who was known to be somewhat a rebel and had travelled all over the world, opened the shop, starting a tradition that is still excellent even today. A history that managed to survive the Fascist period and the Florence flood: in fact, in 1938, the store fell under the evil eye of the Fascists who assaulted it and destroyed the beautiful English Art Nouveau lamps that characterised the columns outside with the blows of an axe; it was damaged again in the flood of 1966, after which the entrance was restored to its former splendour. Here, as always, the sophistication of Italian style is accompanied by refined English taste: in 1911 the Queen of England recognized it as the best shop across the Channel to represents the impeccable British style. Ugolini and Sons is an exceptional signature for a total look for men, offering a wide and top-level selection of goods. Its articles range from 1450 shirts that come in all sizes and are finished with 25 stitches and mother-of-pearl buttons by the very best Italian manufacturers, to the roughly 600 ties on display, for the store was in fact the first to sell the Stefano Ricci ties as early as the 1970’s. The range continues with footwear (it has exclusive rights for Churchill), and some really beautiful articles in cashmere that come in many models and colours and are packed in exclusive Ugolini and Sons signed boxes, making them a splendid and precious gift of great effect. The product is for connoisseurs and the high performance workmanship used for the cashmere and silk is wonderful. Other special products available include the handmade silk boxer pants, hand finished with textile remnants from shirts made by important companies and presented in original signed cloth bags. Other quality articles are the English umbrellas by Swaine, Adeney Brigg or Burberry, all made by hand in fine materials like ash wood and silk, or the silver cufflinks, the best in English tradition and quality, together with all the best makes of sports wear (including Martina, Aeronautica Militare). Last, but not least, we must mention the suits, which are available in all the original manufacturing lines by the major designers (like Burberry, Tombolini and Brioni), but can also be made to measure.

Antonio Canova Beauty & Memory

casa buonarroti Via Ghibellina, 70 Tel. 055.241752 www.casabuonarroti.it

Casa Buonarroti, once residence of Michelangelo and today museum, opens an exhibition entirely dedicated to one of the main European neoclassical sculptors: Antonio Canova. His beautiful monochrome temperas and models will be available to the public together with a collection of albums and sketchbooks borrowed from the Museum of Bassano del Grappa (Veneto). ‘Beauty and ‘Memory’: the two cornerstones of the Arts during Italian pre-Romanticism and Purism. Beauty is magnifically conveyed by the plaster of Canova’s Venus Italica, whose final version is in the Palatine Gallery, while Memory is very well signified by the series of sketches that created (1806-10) the funerary monument of Vittorio Alfieri, father of the Italian tragedy, still located in the Basilica of Santa Croce. Until October 21st.

La mostra porta a Firenze, dopo lunghissimi silenzi, Antonio Canova, grande protagonista dell’arte neoclassica e si compone esclusivamente di opere provenienti dal Museo Civico di Bassano del Grappa. Questa istituzione conserva dieci album e otto taccuini di disegni di Canova: un patrimonio ineguagliabile per conoscere le fasi progettuali dell’artista, che possiede però anche una rara, emozionante potenza visiva. La scelta operata per la mostra fiorentina va oltre i circa quaranta disegni selezionati, e affronta il momento dell’ideazione anche attraverso splendidi monocromi a tempera, bozzetti e modelli, la cui caratteristica personale e segreta è indice di una modernità esistenziale e di prassi esecutiva che sorprende e meraviglia. fino al 21 ottobre.

The Russian Avant-Garde Kandinsky, Malevich, Filonov, Goncharova

The first international exhibition to examine the fundamental importance of the Oriental and Eurasian connection to Russian Modernism, follows the destinies of Russia’s self-proclaimed “Barbarians” in their search for new sources of artistic inspiration. Neolithic stone figures, Siberian shaman rituals, popular Chinese prints, Japanese engravings, Theosophical doctrine and Indian philosophy are some of the elements which inspired Russia’s new artists and writers as they developed their aesthetic and theoretical ideas just before and after the Revolution of October, 1917.

The exhibition demonstrates how modern Russian culture experienced a deep attraction to the exotic, the unknown and the “other”, qualities which artists and writers identified with the spirit of the taiga, the virgin territories of desert and steppe and the “otherness” of Oriental culture. FROM september 27th.

La prima mostra internazionale a riconoscere l’importanza fondamentale delle fonti orientali ed eurasiatiche nel Modernismo russo, sollecitando il visitatore a seguire i sedicenti “barbari” dell’Avanguardia nella loro scoperta di nuove sorgenti d’ispirazione. Le figure in pietra del Neolitico, i rituali sciamanici siberiani, le stampe popolari cinesi, le incisioni giapponesi, le teorie teosofiche e antroposofiche e la filosofia indiana, sono alcuni degli elementi che hanno ispirato i nuovi artisti e scrittori russi nello sviluppare le loro idee estetiche e teoretiche, poco prima della Rivoluzione d’ottobre del 1917. La mostra intende evocare questa attrazione e paura, allo stesso tempo, della cultura russa per l’esotico, ma anche per l’ignoto, per “l’altro”, che poteva essere sia lo spirito della taiga, l’incontaminato territorio dei deserti e della steppa o l’incontro con l’esponente di un'altra cultura, quella orientale: un aspetto che si rivela fondamentale nel Modernismo russo sia nell’arte che in letteratura.

Mattia Corvino

at the Court of the King of Hungary

Museo di San Marco Piazza San Marco, 1 Tel. 055.294883 www.unannoadarte.it

The exhibition sets out to reconstruct some of the contacts that played a crucial role in determining the Hungarian court's cultural and artistic choices. Thus it will illustrate the trends in the king's taste, setting them against the backdrop of the Florentine context of his time, while also endeavouring, by drawing a number of parallels, to identify the possible influence on those choices exercised by Lorenzo the Magnificent and his entourage of thinkers and artists. In this context, special attention will be devoted to the libraries of Matthias Corvinus and of Lorenzo the Magnificent, and thus pride of place will be given to the precious illuminated codices commissioned by Matthias Corvinus for his library, now sadly dispersed. Some of these manuscripts, which remained unfinished in Florence on Matthias' death, were subsequently purchased by the Medici.. FROM october 10th.

L'obiettivo della mostra consiste nel tentativo di ricostruire alcuni contatti determinanti per le scelte culturali e artistiche condotte dalla corte ungherese. Di conseguenza, verranno tratteggiate le tendenze del gusto del re, mettendole in rapporto con lo scenario fiorentino a lui contemporaneo, e individuate le possibili influenze esercitate da Lorenzo il Magnifico e dalla cerchia di intellettuali e artisti che gravitava intorno a lui, confrontando alcune realtĂ parallele. A tal fine una speciale attenzione sarĂ dedicata alle biblioteche di Mattia Corvino e di Lorenzo de' Medici, e quindi un particolare spazio verrĂ dato all'esposizione di preziosi codici miniati commissionati da Mattia Corvino per la sua biblioteca, oggi dispersa. Alcuni di questi manoscritti, rimasti a Firenze incompiuti alla morte di Mattia, furono in seguito acquisiti dai Medici.. DAL 10 ottobre.

On display, works of art originally positioned in the public buildings of Florence which housed the powers running the city: the halls of the various Arti, or guilds, Palazzo Vecchio and the city gates and walls.

This exhibition offers visitors a new key to understand the works of art, by highliting the importance of - both sacred and secular - images in the propaganda and communication strategy of the groups which ruled the city in the era of the Commune and the Republic, before the rise of the Medici family changed the city from both a political and an aesthetic standpoint.

UNTIL DECember 8th In mostra, opere d'arte originariamente collocate negli edifici pubblici di Firenze ospitanti i poteri politici cittadini: le sedi delle varie Arti, o gilde, Palazzo Vecchio (ex Palazzo dei Priori) e le porte e le mura della città.

La mostra offre ai visitatori una nuova chiave per comprendere le opere d'arte in sé, evidenziando l'importanza delle immagini - sacre e profane - nella propaganda e nella strategia di comunicazione dei gruppi che governarono la città in epoca comunale e repubblicana, prima che l'ascesa dei Medici cambiasse Firenze politicamente ed esteticamente.

Leo X & Florence This exhibition will follow the life of Giovanni, the second son of Lorenzo the Magnificent, from his birth in Florence in 1475 until March 9th 1513, when he was elected Pope, and then his brief return to the city of his birth in 1515.

Works by Botticelli, Andrea Sansovino, Granacci, Ghirlandaio and Perugino will illustrate this part of the route in a section dedicated to the education of the future pope. The years of Leo’s papacy were celebrated as a new "golden age" in which the capital of Christendom could bring the requirements of the classical world back to life again thanks to the work of artists and humanists.

These were the years that gave life to the great building works in Rome, among them the Basilica of St. Peters, which Raphael followed up by producing his wonderful paintings. until October 6th La mostra seguirà la vita di Giovanni, figlio secondogenito di Lorenzo il Magnifico, dalla nascita a Firenze nel 1475 fino al 9 marzo 1513, quando venne eletto papa, e al suo breve ritorno in patria nel 1515.

Leonardo Morozzi Concierge Grand Hotel Baglioni +39.055.23580 introduces

The austere construction that hosts the Medici Chapels, created by the family as a huge mausoleum, can be reached from the apse of the Church of San Lorenzo in Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini. It is composed of two main parts, the New Sacristy, built by Michelangelo from 1519, and the great Chapel of the Princes, where the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and their families are buried, which dates from a century later and is lined throughout with marble and semi-precious stones; the tour of the building also includes some rooms in the crypt (designed by Buontalenti) underneath the Chapel of the Princes.

The Crypt is the first room to be reached from the museum entrance. The tombstones of the Grand Dukes, their wives and immediate family can be seen on the floor of this low vaulted room. A rich collection of 17th–18th century reliquaries linked to the magnificent grand ducal patronage has recently been arranged in a series of glass cases in this room.

Two staircases lead from here up to the Chapel of the Princes

above. This sumptuous octagonal environment is 28 metres wide and topped by the cupola of San Lorenzo, which reaches a height of 59 metres, the second in grandeur in the city after the cupola by Brunelleschi. It was conceived by Cosimo I, but not carried out until later by his successor Ferdinando I, who, in 1604, commissioned the architect Matteo Nigetti to build it on a design by Don Giovanni de' Medici, who was also the Grand Duke’s brother. Buontalenti also intervened and partly altered the project. Its dazzling splendour comes from the rich inlay work typical of Florence, and the glorious Opificio delle Pietre Dure (Hard Stone Workshop) was created especially to carry it out. This typically Florentine form of art is still practiced, especially for the decoration of furniture and vases,

and reached its greatest heights here, even though the funereal key of the work meant using the more subdued and sombre colours of porphyry and granite. More colourful stones were instead used for the wainscoting, together with mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli and coral, in order to reproduce the coats of arms of the sixteen Tuscan cities loyal to the Medici family.

Статуи смотрят в центр капеллы где Микеланджело расположил статую Мадонны с младенцем во чреве. Декорации капелл заканчивают статуи Святых Козьмы и Дамиано, реализованные учениками

Cosimo II were actually carried out, both of them by Pietro Tacca between 1626 and 1642. The other grand ducal tombs belong to Cosimo I (1519-1574), Cosimo II (the successor of Ferdinando I, 15901621) and Cosimo III (who succeeded Ferdinando II, 1643-1723).

The sarcophagi are really empty and the real remains of the Grand Dukes and their families (about fifty major and minor figures), up to Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici (the last heir of the dynasty, 16671743), are preserved in simple environments behind the walls of the crypt by Buontalenti.

The New Sacristy was built in various stages by Michelangelo between 1521 and 1534 and can be reached along a corridor from the Chapel of the Princes. Michelangelo based his design on the same plan that Brunelleschi had used for the Old Sacristy though he divided the area into more complex shapes, with triumphal arches opening out onto apse-like spaces.

He created recesses in the two side walls to hold the monumental tombs dedicated to Giuliano Duke of Nemours and his nephew Lorenzo Duke of Urbino, carrying out three sculptures dedicated to the Allegories of Time for each of them; these were placed on top of the tombs with portraits of the Dukes above.

He chose the subject of Day and Night for the tomb of Giuliano de’ Medici, seated, with a proud bearing; and Dawn and Dusk for that of Lorenzo, shown in a mel-

ancholy and thoughtful pose. Both the statues look towards the centre of the chapel where Michelangelo carried out and placed a Madonna with Jesus on her lap. By looking towards the sacred likeness, the dukes express the religious inclinations of the artist, who believed that only spirituality and religion can give relief and set man’s mind at ease when all earthly glories are past. The decoration of the chapel is completed by the statues of Sts. Cosmas and Damian by students of Michelangelo. Lorenzo the Magnificent and his brother Giuliano de' Medici are buried under the altar as Michelangelo never found the time to build them a monumental tomb, in fact, he left Florence forever in 1534, leaving the chapel uncompleted.

Tuscany, as we know, produces some very high quality wines. Its hills are covered in vineyards, one of the oldest forms of farming in Italy and nowhere else can boast such a wide variety of wines. Here you can taste the best of the red wines from the Chianti, the Brunello of Montalcino, the Vino Nobile of Montepulciano and the Carmignano or the Morellino of Scansano, just to mention some of those known worldwide, or the freshest of white wines, like the Vernaccia of San Gimignano, the Pomino, the Ansonica or the Elba wines.

The wine making process obviously varies from wine to wine but is usually based on two methods, one for the reds and one for the whites. Here we would like to give a rough idea on what happens to the grapes, from the time they are picked to the moment the wine bottle is uncorked on the table, and discover the particular characteristics of both processes.

Young wines should be served at room temperature, with the bottle opened at the moment of drinking, while vintage wines are characterised by a much stronger alcohol content. Harsh and bitter to begin with, they become harmonious and pleasant in time and can be kept without any problems for over 15 years, if

Millesimi Almost hidden in a narrow street in the Oltrarno district, host inside an ancient palace, the Enoteca Millesimi showcases the most extensive and comprehensive wine labels collection in Florence. Managed with great passion and extraordinary competence by Marie Parrocel, a French lady who's been living in Italy for many years, the enoteca offers visitors a wide selection of wines, elegantly exposed from the shopping windows. But it is mostly in the vast underground canteen, reminiscent of that of a medieval castle, with its vaulted ceilings and the maze of corridors and rooms, where Millesimi preserves its most precious and rare wine labels. Thousands and thousands of bottles stored at a constant temperature throughout the year, a series of formidable Italian and foreign wines, mostly French, products that Marie knows perfectly well by virtue of its origins.

Millesimi ships wine all around the world and serves the best restaurants in and around Florence, also offering quality products at affordable prices.

MILLESIMI Borgo Tegolaio, 33r Tel. +39.055.2654675 millesimisrl@tin.it

the bottles are kept lying down in a cool dark cellar. The bottle should be opened a few minutes before serving and half an hour beforehand if a vintage wine. The older vintages should be poured before serving into special decanters to separate the wine from the naturally formed grounds.

The white wines mature fairly quickly and are ready only a short time after harvesting. We advise you to drink them at once to appreciate their initial freshness and fragrance. The bottles can be kept in a cool dark place from between one to three years.

Cantinetta Antinori The Cantinetta Antinori can be found on the ground floor of Palazzo Antinori, one of the finest examples of mid 15th century Florentine architecture, in the old city centre of Florence. Open for lunch and dinner the restaurant also offers the chance of tasting the entire range of Antinori wines in the bottle or by the glass and matched with a selection of specialities from the Tuscan cuisine, many of which are prepared with ingredients from the various family estates in Tuscany and Umbria. The dishes on the menu vary according to the products of the season so as to ensure the freshness of raw materials. The Antinori family has been making wine for over six hundred years, ever since Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Florentine Guild of Vinattieri in 1385. Throughout the family’s long history it has always maintained an unwavering respect for the traditions and the territory.

A passion that can only be found in unique places, rich in tradition, like the Cantinetta Antinori. В Тоскане, как известно, производятся вина высочайшего качества. Ее холмы покрыты виноградниками и в никакая другая местность не может похвалиться таким выбором вин. Здесь можно продегустировать лучшие в мире красные вина как например Брунелло ди Монтальчино, Вино Нобиле ди Монтепульчано, Карминьяно и Мореллино ди Скансано, Помино, Ансоника и вина Ельбы . Существует несколько процессов виноделия, которые варируются от вина к вину , но основных методов два – для красного вина и белого. Красное вино производится методом ферменации винограда с семенами и веточками. Когда заканчивается первая фаза ферментации вино

переливается для фильтрации от натуральных остатков. Второй перелив вина осуществляется в начале весны когда оно начинает натурально осветляться и стабилизироваться. Молодые вина должны подаваться комнатной температуры, бутылка открывается непосредственно перед употреблением. Если подается вино этого года производства то бутылка открывается не ранее чем за полчаса до употребления. Оставив вино «отдыхать» Процесс производства белого вина отличается от производства красного тем что при ферментации не исползуются косточки и стебли. Таким образом в вино не попадает танин, который окрашивает его. Белые вина вызревают достаточно быстро и через небольшое время после сбора винограда они уже готовы. Предпочтительнее пить молодые вина чтобы почуствовать натуральный аромат и свежесть вкуса. Белое вино хранится до трех лет в прохладном и темном месте.

Trattoria Al Fresco & Il Palagio Restaurant

Ресторан Il Palagio & Трактир Al Fresco Успех Трактира Al Fresco чувствуется уже в воздухе. Трактир в дневное время с наступлением сумерек превращается в пиццерию, окруженную чарующей атмосферой отельного сада. Al Fresco стал одной из самых популярных инициатив, придуманных сетью отелей «Four Seasons Hotel Firenze», которая продлится весь сентябрь. Новый сезон ресторана «Il Palagio» стартует в октябре и обещает быть не менее заманчивым: ожидается целый ряд нововведений, специально разработанных для удовлетворения потребностей в удовольствиях самой изысканной публики отеля. Именно поэтому бранч (начиная с 6-го октября) будет радовать выбором блюд, воплощающих в себе великолепие тосканской традиционной кухни и современного творческого подхода. Вечерний момент для чашечки кофе также обещает настоящее море ощущений: эксклюзивные смеси будут делаться мастерами прямо у Вас на глазах в специальных машинах. Обязательно посетите ресторан «Il Palagio», где сюрпризы не кончаются, благодаря мастерству и фантазии Вито Моллика и менеджера ресторана Габриеле Федели.

108

The success of Trattoria Al Fresco is still in the air: the trattoria formula at lunch and pizzeria and barbecue at dinner time, conceived by Chef Vito Mollica, in the lovely setting of the hotel’s garden, which began as a late-spring surprise, has become one of Four Seasons Hotel Firenze’s most popular initiatives and will be going on throughout the month of September. During the day, a trattoria serving fresh, seasonal dishes reflecting and enhancing the best of traditional Italian and Tuscan dishes, and in the evening a variety of pizzas and top-quality meat.

Il Palagio’s new season, starting in October, is equally inviting: many are the new special details designed to pamper hotel customers’ pleasure needs.

As the saying goes, don’t break up a winning team.

And so, the brunch (starting from 6 October) is as rich and inviting as usual, with a variety of dishes that embody the perfect blend of Tuscan tradition and contemporary creativity. Evening coffee time is also a true sensory experience: the elegant coffee menu is a trip around the world through taste buds. Exclusive blends ground in an old-style but perfectly-working machine and made in the Cona coffee-makers right before your eyes. A true gourmand experience, an ancient ritual worthy of the utmost care and attention.

Visit Il Palagio Restaurant, where surprises never end thanks to the creativity of Vito Mollica and Restaurant Manager Gabriele Fedeli.

Trattoria 4 Leoni

Трактир 4 львов находится на площади делла Пассера рядом с Дворцом Питти и окунает вас в обстановку исконно тосканского стиля, простого но рафинированного. Хозяин, Стефано ди Пуччио, известен в городе как игрок в «Исторический Флорентийский Футбол» и благодаря высококачественной кухне, которая предлагает традиционные блюда тосканы, такие как курица в кляре, кролик с овощами, незабываемые бифштексы и знаменитый Пепозо из Импруньеты ( пиккантное жаркое). Все дессерты сделаны на кухне ресторана, вина можно дегустировать бокалами. В летнее время можно поесть на открытом воздухе.

A corner of ancient Florence can be found between the Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace that is full of craft workshops and beloved by artists and intellectuals. The Trattoria 4 Leoni, situated in Piazza della Passera, offers the sort of welcome that we would expect to find in the homes of old friends.

The furnishings are in the typical Tuscan traditions, plain yet refined, with straw-bottomed chairs and marble-topped tables. Mine host Stefano Di Puccio is held in high esteem in the city for his sporting history as a player in the “Historic Florentine Football Matches”, but also for the genuine hospitality that can be found in his restaurant and for quality of his cooking. Platters in the true Tuscan tradition emerge from the kitchen, from the mythical Huge Fry-Up (fried chicken, rabbit and vegetables) and the steaks, always excellent, to the famous Impruneta Peposo (peppery stew) or the delicious 4 Leoni Salad; all of them dishes for gourmets!

We must not forget to mention the desserts, all homemade, like the pear and chocolate cake, the apple tart or the cheese cake; or else there are the popular Prato Cantuccini (almond biscuits) to dip in the Holy Wine.

The wines are all of excellent quality and can also be ordered by the glass. Outside dining under a white marquee and surrounded by pots of sweet-melling bay trees is possible in the summer months. The quality of the cooking, the care taken over details and service, together with the simple and genuine atmosphere, make the 4 Leoni a symbolic nightspot for all the Florentines and ... Piazza della Passera in the Spring is a really wonderful sight.

Time seems to have stood still at Omero’s as, although the restaurant has stood here for decades, it still manages to keep its reputation and perhaps this is why its customers get attached to it and come back again and again, because they know they will always find original flavours and simplicity.

Always open for lunch and dinner, gastronomy shop open 9.00-23.00.

Le Fonticine

Ресторан «Le Fonticine» Его история начинается с 1939-го года, когда его первые владельцы встретились, полюбили друг друга и решили открыть этот ресторан, ставший одним из самых популярных во Флоренции. Когда посетители начинают знакомство с меню, они получают возможность не только определиться с заказом, но и совершить небольшой экскурс во флорентийские земли, поскольку описание блюд включает в себя также их историю и позволяет узнать больше о знаменитом флорентийском бифштексе или о «Черном Петухе». Фирменные блюда ресторана всегда принадлежат руке шеф-повара, настоящего знатока вин, свежей пасты и всех секретов флорентийского бифштекса. Ресторан стремится к укреплению традиций, что чувствуется и в подборе персонала. Люди, работающие здесь гордятся своим многолетним опытом и манерами, поэтому клиенты всегда могут рассчитывать на приятное, элегантное, ненавязчивое обслуживание в дружелюбной атмосфере.

Recently renovated and furnished in rustic style, exploiting the dining rooms and courtyard in a creative way, Restaurant Le Fonticine welcomes its clients in a traditional, intimate and elegant atmosphere.

Its history dates from 1939 when the first owners met, fell in love and opened what was to become one of the most popular restaurants in Florence. With impeccable professionalism the owners have now taken Le Fonticine back to its origins and his love for Florentine history emerges from the great care that has been given to every single detail. When the client leafs through the menu, he does not just decide what to order, but can also delve deep into a journey through the Florentine territory to discover some of its most fascinating legends and traditions since the 16th century; this is because various short stories have been included between the descriptions of each dish, thus allowing him to find out about the history of the Florentine T-bone steak or the Black Cockerel of the Chianti Classico. Expression of the territory is not only a cult, but also, and above all, a guarantee of the highest quality of all the ingredients used to prepare each platter: in fact all the fresh and selected seasonal products from the soil are purchased in the famous central market of San Lorenzo. The restaurant’s specialities include dishes prepared directly by the chef, real connoisseur wines, fresh pasta and all the excellence of the Florentine steak: veal from a pasture-raised young female heifer, at least two fingers thick and cooked on chestnut, cypress and oak charcoal. Once it has been ordered, the chef takes a piece of sirloin, cuts it and then shows it to the client, together with a card bearing the number and weight of the steak and thus certifies its quality. The restaurant wishes to enhance tradition and this includes its choice of staff.

The people who work here can boast a long experience and courtesy and thus customers can be sure of a pleasant, elegant and discreet informality.

Florian

Флориан Старинное Кафе Флориан, основанное в 1720-ом году на площади Сан-Марко в Венеции, сейчас нашло свой уголок во Флоренции, где открыло новый филиал с эксклюзивным кафетерием и новаторским рестораном, посвященными современному искусству. Элитная атмосфера и безупречный сервис выгодно отличают классический кафетерий и ресторан с традиционными блюдами венецианской и итальянской кухни. Шеф-повар черпает свое вдохновение в классических постных блюдах, известных десертах и венецианском мягком мороженом. Каждый вечер с 18-ти часов сервируется венецианский аперитив с традиционным коктейлем Сприц, Беллини или Негрони, в сопровождении вяленой трески, приготовленной в собственном соку либо в томатном соусе, мясного и сырного ассорти по-венециански, подаваемого с конфитюрами домашнего приготовления, а также прочими закусками, которые можно брать прямо руками

Historic Caffè Florian, founded in 1720 in Piazza S. Marco in Venice, has now found its natural outlet in Florence with the opening of this new and exclusive location, where a prestigious café and innovative catering blend together with Contemporary Art. The Florian Art Collection has organised a permanent display of works by Mimmo Rotella, Fabrizio Plessi, Gaetano Pesce and Bruno Ceccobelli, to mention just a few of the many artists who have created exclusive works for the Florian in Venice over the years. These art works are now here in Florence to pay tribute to the tradition in style, elegance and refinement that has made Florian a myth-like place throughout the world.

Here clients can find a truly exclusive environment and an impeccable service in the classical Café and in the Restaurant, specialised in Venetian and Italian cuisine. Inspired by the classical light dishes and traditional desserts and parfaits, the Chef offers some really superlative platters created with top quality raw materials. The recipes are in fact all based on the finest Italian products and include really fresh fish, meat, first courses and starters, as well as the typical Venetian savoury croutons. The idea is to maintain all the flavour and natural taste of the best ingredients of the season and thus create excellent but traditional dishes that are however continuously renewed, with the addition of special touches that are both original and cosmopolitan. It is possible to enjoy an aperitif (spritz, delicious cocktails, special wines), a really good coffee, chocolate, the traditional and elegant afternoon tea, snacks, Venetian savoury croutons and exquisite pastries, all signed by Florian at any time of the day. Do not miss the special Venetian aperitif, every evening after 6pm, where you can enjoy faithful reproductions of the original Florian recipes for Spritz, Bellini and Negroni, accompanied by traditional salted cod, cod stew, a selection of Venetian dressed meats and cheeses served with home made jams prepared by the Chef and various types of fingerfood.
