DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY

n 2014, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London hosted ‘The Glamour of Italian Fashion’, the celebrated exhibition dedicated to the history of Italian fashion in the 20th century and its profound cultural influences. British reporter Andrea Kirkby commented: “Instead of the dour traditional English view that you wear clothes because you can’t go about naked, Italian clothes are all about self-expression.” Although fashion as an industry is a relatively recent phenomenon in Italy (only dating back to the second half of the 20th century), attention to style in this country is a primal instinct.

“I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty”; “Italians know that what matters is style, not fashion. Italian style does not have social or age boundaries”; “The difference between style and fashion is quality. To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail”. These three statements summarize really aptly the reason why Italy is considered the world capital of elegance. It is therefore not surprising that they were made respectively by Miuccia Prada, Stefano Gabbana and Giorgio Armani.

“

One doesn’t come to Italy for niceness, one comes for life – E.M. Forster, writer–

“

Creativity is the result of the perpetual beauty that is a part of everyday living for Italians, who consider its landscapes, art and culinary offerings a part of their heritage. The average Italian, regardless of age or education, has a ‘cultural advantage’ when it comes to appreciating beauty and elegance. This is a phenomenon that is not dictated by trends of the moment, but one that comes from within, from an innate sense of style. It is not an abstract concept but one that is built on quality, savoir-faire, craftsmanship and attention to detail; and most experts concur. This explanation might be ambiguous, but, if you wander around the streets, observe the people, and then pop into a shop to try on a designer jacket, as if by magic, it will become crystal clear. In fact, you’ll probably end up wearing it, and the jacket – true Italian style. Welcome to Italy.

WORK IN PROGRESS Above, Olivier Saillard, curator of the exhibition currently showing at Palazzo Pitti in Florence. Scheduled to run until 22 October, this exhibition celebrates the ephemeral, constantly evolving trends of fashion. On the left, a picture of the exhibition.

A |by Elena Binda

question of style Most people dress without giving it much thought but Italians dress to express themselves. Empowered by a tradition for beauty that is centuries old, and a fashion industry focused on craftsmanship and quality, Italians excel in fashion.

alazzo Pitti’s Costume Gallery in Florence will host ‘The Ephemeral Museum of Fashion’ until 22 October. Curated by Olivier Saillard, director of the Musée Galliera in Paris, this show is more than a temporary exhibition. As the title suggests, it’s a temporary exhibition – in the sense that it lasts just for a limited amount of time – and a museum of the ephemeral, because it deals with that transient art we call ‘fashion’. Although it’s true that there is an element of fickleness, transience and illusion in fashion, it's also true that throughout the ages the art of dressing has been a serious business. It’s about communicating, expressing oneself and making a statement. It has to do with the way in which people experience their era. Saillard is a historian, and his exhibition is halfway between a playground and a philosophical essay. Palazzo Pitti, the location chosen for the exhibition, needs no introductions. The name Pitti conjures up one of the world’s most renowned international events; an international platform for men’s fashion. Florence is one of the capitals of global creativity, and, ladies and gentlemen, this is Italy. This is the birthplace of ingenious designers, a powerhouse in the fashion industry admired worldwide for its ‘effortless elegance’. There are those who maintain that the secret of Italian excellence in fashion has its origins in a linguistic expression that is purely Italian: ‘fare bella figura’, which usually means ‘making a good impression’ as far as behaviour and decorum are concerned. However, in these words are also an unmistakable reference to one’s look or appearance, and the pleasure of being openly admired by others. As far as Italians are concerned, appearance is important. We have been immersed in beauty for centuries, we are attuned to recognizing it and it fascinates us. Above all, Italy’s famous ‘style’ is a combination of a deep-rooted sense of beauty, which becomes creativity, and the amazing artisanal skills of tailors, leather goods manufacturers, goldsmiths and textile mills, who have contributed to building an industry that is unequalled throughout the world, as is Italy’s pantheon of world-class designers. The birthplace of big-name brands Although compiling a complete inventory is almost impossible, just scrolling through an alphabetical list of major brands is enough to give you goosebumps. Armani, Bottega Veneta, Laura Biagiotti, Blumarine, Roberto Cavalli, Capucci, Brunello Cucinelli, Diesel, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Fendi (whose women’s line is designed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld), Salvatore Ferragamo, Alberta Ferretti, Fiorucci, Gucci, Hogan, Krizia, Loro Piana, Max Mara, Marni, Antonio Marras, Missoni, Moncler, Prada, Emilio Pucci, Ermanno Scervino, Tod’s, Trussardi, Valentino, Versace and Ermenegildo Zegna. There are also the gurus of menswear, including Brioni, Canali and Corneliani, and the Italian creative directors of famous international brands like Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, Maria Grazia Chiuri for Dior, Alessandro Dell’Acqua, Fausto Puglisi and Giambattista Valli. There’s also the fabulous

PEOPLE | FASHION

world of accessories, including brands like Luxottica (which owns Ray-Ban and Persol) for eyewear, and, in jewelry and watches, Bulgari, Damiani, Pomellato, Morellato, Vhernier and Officine Panerai. This means Italy is country where fashion is an industry that provides employment, and is a key driver for exports. The Italian fashion industry has written an important chapter of 20th-century history. And, there can be no doubt that Milan is the nerve centre of this world. Named the world capital of fashion in 2009 (in a classification based on the number of times it was mentioned in the global media), it remains firmly entrenched in the hallowed list of the ‘Big Five’ together with Paris, New York, London and Rome. The majority of the biggest brands are located in Milan, and it is here that several of the world’s most renowned names have opened their flagship stores. Above all, it is here that the glitterati gather twice a year to attend the city’s dazzling and eagerly awaited Fashion Week, with key events at which fashion demonstrates its prowess

and unveils upcoming trends for the season. During these fashion weeks, the aura of glamour and frenzy surrounding the events reaches its peak. Designers and models, commentators and influencers, buyers and the ‘faces’ of the brands gather here to see and be seen, attend parties and post selfies. Though chaotic, it’s also exciting. On the other hand, the thrill of being in a city devoted to fashion and high-end shopping, is year-round. It’s not by chance that one of the city’s main attractions is an area known as the ‘Quadrilatero della moda’, a district revolving around via Montenapoleone, a street with a concentration of high-end designer labels. Home to the Pitti Uomo event, mentioned above, Florence is A CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION Below, the series of collectible stamps issued in 2002.

also one of the capitals of Italian fashion. The headquarters of important designers are still located here and the Tuscan capital was the place where it all began. Today, the city’s luxury shopping street is via de’ Tornabuoni. Rome’s history is also tightly wound up with luxury and fashion, and its annual events continue to be some of the most prestigious in Italy. Its longstanding association with the golden age of cinema has been one of the keys that defined its legendary status as an icon of Italian style. However, in Italy, fashion is not only confined to luxury districts. It is a widespread phenomenon that has given life to some remarkable success stories that did not originate in the major fashion cities. Roberta di Camerino, a brand renowned for its unforgettable iconic bags, was founded in Venice by Giuliana Coen; Max Mara was established in Reggio Emilia, where its headquarters are still located; the United Colors of Benetton is a familyrun, Veneto-based company; the entrepreneur Renzo Rossi (Diesel, Marni, Viktor&Rolf and Maison Martin Margiela) is based near Vicenza; Diego Della Valle (Tod’s, Hogan and Fay) is headquartered in the Marche, and Bruno Cucinelli, the king of cashmere, has made his Umbrian roots a key component of the brand’s DNA. If, however, we take into account Italy’s satellite fashion industry, including the hundreds of thousands of artisans who produce textiles, leather goods and fashion details, the list is never-ending. In fact, the connection between elegance and style is anything but ephemeral. Ancient ties, modern history We are so accustomed to viewing fashion as an element

associated with Italy that we tend to forget that its fashion industry is a recent phenomenon, dating back only to the midtwentieth century. However, when referencing a wider concept of style, we discover that Italian fashion has ancient deeply embedded cultural roots, in addition to a solid foundation in the artisanal textile industry. But when did Italian fashion excellence begin? Fashion historians consider the ‘first Italian haute couture show’ that Count Giovan Battista Giorgini (1898-1971) organized in Florence on 12 February 1951 the beginning of Italian fashion throughout the world. Obviously, the event was not serendipitous, the hype had begun in the post-war period, in Turin, which, at that time, was the political capital of Italy. Count Dino Lora Totino (1900-1981), president of the new Fashion Body, established in 1946, believed that it was the organization’s mission to “compete with foreign countries to implement our good taste”. The first exhibition, organized in October 1946, involved the participation of 75 fashion houses. In 1949, the Italian Centre of Fashion was established in Milan, an act considered almost a declaration of war by Turin. An article that appeared in the press at the time stated: “Milan understands the value of fashion. We understand the meaning of the word. At first it conjures up the idea of a runway on which beautiful women parade wearing the marvels of couturiers and the textile industry […] But this is only one

INNOVATORS Above, the 1951 fashion show in Florence that launched the phenomenon of Italian fashion throughout the world (Archivio Giorgini, Firenze). Below: Hollywood star Linda Christian wearing a wedding gown by the Sorelle Fontana (Fondazione Micol Fontana).

aspect of fashion, high fashion, the fireworks of fashion. There’s much more to fashion. Fashion is the art of dressing people’s children, especially their daughters. And if this is in question, Turin is second to none.” Although we know the outcome of this statement, the reflection regarding the specific role played by fashion is still highly contemporary. However, on 28 January 1949, Tyrone Power’s marriage to Linda Christian in Rome officially marked the birth of the phenomenon known as ‘Hollywood on the Tiber’, which launched Italian fashion globally. (Editor’s note: Linda wore a gown designed by the Sorelle Fontana, while Tyrone wore a suit by Caraceni). Since that time international recognition has focused on the supremacy of Italy in the field. In 1956 the Neiman Marcus award was given to Giuliana Coen Camerino (1920-2010), in February 1959, the American magazine ‘Fortune’ dedicated a full-page spread to the runway presentations organized by Giorgini, and ‘boutique fashion’ became a buzzword throughout the world. Although Italy couldn’t compete with France on an industrial level, it was able, nonetheless to compensate for this, by drawing upon the collective work of specialized and highly skilled artisans and low-cost labour. In this sense, Italian boutique fashion was designed, above all, for export to the U.S where high quality prêt-à-porter and mass production had begun to replace the idea of the private couturier. The turning point came in 1954 when the Italian brand Facis launched

the system of standardized sizes, solving the seemingly insurmountable problem of manufacturing ready-to-wear suits for the European market. The launch of the campaign was entrusted to a publicist named Armando Testa (a genius whose work is currently being celebrated with an exhibition at Mart, see Events section). 1957 marked the first collaboration between a brand of ‘ready-to-wear’ clothing and a designer. The rest is history. The ‘fashion system’ The world of fashion needed to communicate to a wider audience in order to create an image. The Italian fashion system, like France and America, relies heavily on fashionrelated media, including prestigious often historic magazines such as Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair, Elle, Glamour, Grazia, Amica and Gioia. It was an Italian, the renowned designer Gianni Versace, who changed the perception of fashion, and created the concept of a supermodel. Twenty years after his death, the world of fashion continues to celebrate his legacy with multiple events. “The key to the success of a collection,” he said, “is to be oneself. This applies to me and to those wearing my clothes. Don’t be into trends. Don’t allow fashion to own you, but decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” A truly Italian concept!

STYLE | GIORGIO ARMANI

Armani style is the new definition of elegance

Photo: SGP srl

Giorgio Armaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest trends are based on Italian creativity for men and women. While the male silhouette is redefined using exquisite materials and working techniques, expressed in innovative layering, in the female version, the art of dressing becomes an expression of personal taste, and is entrusted to the instinct of the moment and an ability to experiment.

STYLE | GIORGIO ARMANI

The day is made for colour

Vivid colours abound in shades of teal, ruby red and touches of emerald green. Are you still convinced that autumn is synonymous with grey or black? Giorgio Armaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new total looks for the day focus on colours that are superimposed and mixed in unusual combinations. Vibrant shades take centre stage in jackets featuring contemporary, reengineered lines, highlighted with warm accents of velvet in coats, trousers and, why not, even shoes.

STYLE | GIORGIO ARMANI

Shiny is the night

According to Armani, night is associated with scintillating textures and patterns. Timeless cocktail dresses have not been sacrificed; interpreted in trendier versions in warmer, more luminous shades of black thanks to satin, enhanced with velvet details. For him, a tailored jacket or coat accentuated with straight lines, in deep shades of burgundy contrasts with her dress, in powder blue or optical patterns, captivating the eye with plays of light, accenting each outfit with a trendy touch.

STYLE | GIORGIO ARMANI

Green is the new black

The leitmotif of Armaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new looks for women; emerald green appears in mohair coupled with black cigarette trousers or electric blue details. It is overlaid in elegant black satin sheath dresses, or is used to highlight a trendy accessory, like a pair of rounded sunglasses. This is the colour around which one can build an entire outfit to brighten autumn evenings, or simply create unusual, ultra-feminine chromatic expressions, ideal for day or evening wear.

Discovering the great beauty Beginning in the 16th century, it became fashionable for young European aristocrats to embark on a journey known as the ‘Grand Tour’. They travelled to Italy to learn everything that they could about its history, beauty and lifestyle. If you too are on a quest for beauty, here is our pick of several not-to-be missed stopovers…

Rome “caput mundi”

Fifteen square kilometers and twenty-fivethousand attractions: Rome’s historic centre has been a UNESCO world heritage site since 1980. A symbol among symbols and the most widely photographed monument in the world, the Colosseum is considered one of the 7 wonders of the modern world. The memory of its performances – gladiators, wild animals and naval battles re-enacted in the arena – have always fueled the fantasy of history and film buffs. However, unknown to most, its amphitheatre is also studied by botanists, who have isolated 350 species, several of inexplicable origin that grow spontaneously among its ruins. Unlike that phenomenon, everyone is aware of what happened to the 100,000 cubic metres of shining white marble that originally covered the Colosseum. They were ‘recycled’ to build several historic Roman buildings including the Basilica of St. Peter’s and Palazzo Barberini.

Naples and then...

Capri’s most iconic sight are the dramatic “Faraglioni”, the rock spurs that rise up out of the sea. Below, a view of the Gulf of Naples by night and Mount Vesuvius silhouetted in the background.

“See Naples and die” is an Italian saying of unknown origin. Believe it or not, all the clichés about Naples are true: it’s opulent, passionate, musical, contradictory, chaotic and neglected. People are friendly and ‘trained’ over the centuries to ‘get by’, for better or worse. And, yes, its pizza and coffee are the best in the world. Apropos of coffee, there’s a tradition that sums up the city better than a thousand words: the Neapolitans call it “caffè appeso” and it involves buying a coffee for yourself, and then purchasing another one for someone else who doesn’t have the money to pay for it. Naples is the ideal starting point to explore the other beauties of Italy: the islands of the archipelago, Capri, Ischia and Procida, and the Amalfi Coast infused with the scent of lemons. There is also Pompeii, the city, buried by layers of volcanic ash during the eruption of Vesuvius two thousand years ago, and one of the most incredible archaeological sites in the world.

Venice, the floating city

With canals in the place of streets, and boats instead of cars, Venice, the city of a thousand bridges, spectacular facades and breathtaking views, offers a dreamlike vision. This romantic city par excellence has a wealth of historic and artistic treasures that would be difficult to find in any country other than Italy. To enjoy them to the fullest, climb to the top of St. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bell tower, or the lesser known spiral staircase of Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, and let your gaze wander over the lagoon.

DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY | UNMISSABLE An unexpected Milan

In 2016, Milan was ranked the number one tourist destination in Italy. Gone are the days of a flying visit, with just enough time for shopping before catching a cab to Malpensa airport. Considered one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading hubs of business, fashion and design, today Milan is finally being given long overdue credit as a city of art and a place of cultural interest. In addition to the Duomo, the Galleria, La Scala and The Last Supper (absolute must-visits, in their own right), Milan is also home to numerous other attractions that make it much more than the puritanically work-obsessed city that it is often portrayed as. In Milan you'll find courtyards hidden behind entrance doors, masterpieces of architecture unexpectedly revealed amidst anonymous facades and public and private museums offering myriad treasures.

Bologna, the university of Italy

Built in 1088, most historians agree that the University of Bologna is the oldest university in the world. Thanks to the continuous turnover of students from all over the world, from medieval times to the present day, this university has made Bologna a vibrant city from many aspects; cultural, creative, artistic and social. It is therefore not surprising that many people relate to the words of Giosuè Carducci, one of the most important Italian poets, who wrote in 1888: “I love Bologna; for the faults, the mistakes, the follies of my youth which I committed here, and which I cannot regret, but I love it more because it’s beautiful.” Mustvisit sights include the historic centre with its porticoes and towers, streets and markets, and main square with the enormous Basilica di San Petronio. Its hilly surroundings are also breathtaking.

At the top: the huge statue of Neptune lying behind the Sala Borsa, only steps from Piazza Maggiore, the heart of the city. Above: the sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, on the hill of Guardia

Matera, the hidden pearl of the South

When it becomes the European capital of culture in 2019, Matera will get the visibility it deserves. Matera was founded in the dark ages, and is one of the most intriguing places in Southern Italy, renowned, above all, for the uniqueness of it charming historic centre. Its so-called ‘Sassi’ (cave dwellings) are houses, churches and, now, even hotels, literally carved into the tufa stone. Lying one on top of the other, they overhang a gorge to create an incredible nativity-like scenario. Located just a few kilometers from the beaches of Puglia, the city is well worth a visit. In addition to the Sassi, it includes a Romanesque cathedral, the Convent of Sant’Agostino, the church of San Giovanni Battista and the Baroque church of San Francesco. Located off the beaten tourist track, Matera has often been used as a film set. In 2003, thanks to its arresting landscapes and timeless atmosphere, Mel Gibson chose it as a location to re-create the biblical city of Jerusalem for his controversial blockbuster ‘The Passion of Christ’.

DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY | UNMISSABLE Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance

How can one describe a city which originated in the Renaissance in just a few words; a city that gave the world Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo, Raphael and Botticelli, and was also the place where the Gioconda was painted. Actually, it’s impossible! The only solution is to stand in line alongside the ten million visitors who flock to the city each year, to gaze in awe at the Duomo or Santa Croce, the masterpieces housed in the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio or Piazza della Signoria, Michelangelo’s David or Palazzo Pitti. It is really no surprise that the entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since there is not one centimeter of the city that is not worthy visiting, we strongly suggest that you make time to lose yourself amidst its art and architecture, its history and its landscapes. There’s just one thing you need to remember: this is the place where Stendhal experienced what was later to become known as the Stendhal or Florence syndrome. Need we say more?

Home to many masterpieces of art and architecture, Michelangelo’s famous sculpture of “David” is preserved at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Florence.

The Ponte Vecchio is one of the oldest landmarks in the city. According to certain historic documents it was the only bridge spanning the Arno that the Germans, out of respect for its beauty, did not destroy during the Second World War. A jewel among jewels, it has been the street of jewelers since Renaissance times.

The best cuisine in the world Like both its architecture and fashion, Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gastronomy is unequalled throughout the world. And, of the three, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the easiest to love. Italian cuisine is extremely varied; each region, from North to South, has its own ingredients, traditional recipes and local specialties.

The inventor of ‘Italian Pop cuisine’, Davide Oldani’s Michelin-starred “D’O” restaurant is situated on the outskirts of Milan (www.cucinapop.do). His signature dish, ‘zafferano e riso alla milanese’, or ‘Milanese-style Saffron and Rice’, is an innovative take on the classic ‘risotto alla Milanese’. Oldani suggests pairing it with a barrique-aged chardonnay.

The rice of the North

Italy is the number one producer of rice in Europe and the twenty-seventh in the world. It has more than 230,000 cultivated hectares of land, almost one and a half tons of production and over a dozen certified varieties. These rice fields are concentrated in Northern Italy, and it is here that the gastronomic tradition associated with this staple was developed. ‘Yellow rice’, Milan’s signature dish stems from a perfect marriage between Carnaroli rice (a typical Milanese variety) and saffron. According to legend, the origin of the recipe is linked to the construction of the Duomo, when an artisan, who was working on the stained glass windows of the cathedral, had the idea of adding some saffron – which was used to colour glass – to a rice dish that was being prepared for a banquet. Today, one of the Italian maestros of this specialty is Chef Davide Oldani, who has made risotto his ‘piece de resistance’.

Heinz Beck is a German-born chef who cooks some of the world’s finest Italian cuisine. The autumnal menu of Beck’s three Michelin-starred restaurant “La Pergola” in Rome (romecavalieri.com) features a heavenly filet of wild venison served with a puree of raspberries, Jerusalem artichokes, chocolate crumble, porcini and chiodini mushrooms and chervil. Beck recommends pairing this dish with a Barolo Cannubi “1752” Riserva 2008 produced by the Damilano winery.

The mushrooms of the Apenines

Porcini mushrooms (‘boletus edulis’) with their fleshy texture, pronounced flavour, and heady, earthy fragrance are one of Italy’s most valued wild mushrooms. Porcini are found in woods and forests, in a symbiotic relationship with the trees they grow under, and are therefore almost impossible to cultivate. They are found mainly in Central Italy, particularly in the Apennines of Liguria, Tuscany, Reggio Emilia, Umbria, the Marche and Abruzzo. Porcini mushrooms are the perfect addition to risottos, tagliatelle, polenta and savoury flans. They are also especially appetizing when grilled as a side dish or as a garnish for meat dishes. In Italy, fresh porcini mushrooms are preferred sautéed in extra virgin olive oil, with garlic and parsley (or, in the ‘nobler’ version, with chervil). Multi-award-winning chef Heinz Beck, enjoys using mushrooms to enhance the flavours of his wild game dishes.

Alfonso Iaccarino and his son Ernesto are the heirs of a dynasty that has been devoted to providing hospitality since 1890. Their two-Michelin-star “Don Alfonso 1890” restaurant near Naples (www.donalfonso.com) boasts one of the best wine cellars in Italy. Standouts include the restaurant’s ‘mezzi paccheri di Gragnano’ served with ‘cacio’ cheese, pepper, rockfish and wild spinach, garnished with tomatoes. The quality of their extra virgin olive oil is absolutely superb!

Mediterranean Pasta

The undisputed star of Italian cuisine, pasta is key to understanding the culture of the Bel Paese. The production process is simple, but the uses of the finished product are spectacularly varied. The different shapes of pasta cut into squares, rolled into tubes, pulled into long strings, and twisted into spirals number at least 200 types, any one of which might be used in a huge array of sauces and accompaniments, all with their regional variations. A PGI- certified product (protected geographic indication),’ Paccheri’ are a typical type of Neapolitan pasta: large, generous, versatile and ‘noisy’. The most accredited sources attribute the name ‘Paccheri’ to the noise made when pouring sauce onto the pasta, which in Italian is described as resembling a ‘schiaffo’ or in Neapolitan dialect ‘una pacca’ which also means slap. ‘Paccheri’ were created to be paired with a variety of fish sauces as shown by the fabulous dishes created by Alfonso Iaccarino, one of the Sorrento Peninsula’s most celebrated chefs.

1. VAT (in Italian: IVA) is a value added tax on goods and services, and is part of the European Union’s value added tax system. 2. In some cases, travellers may be granted a VAT refund. This refund does not cover the services supplied by hotels, restaurants, taxis or agencies. 3. You may be eligible for a VAT refund provided that: • you are a non EU resident; • the goods purchased are intended for personal or family use only and are carried in your luggage; • the overall value of the goods purchased exceeds 154,94 Euro (VAT included); • the purchase is certified by an invoice. This invoice should include a description of the goods purchased, your personal information as well as the details of your passport or any other equivalent document; • the goods leave EU territory by the end of the third month after the month that you bought them; • several specific customs formalities are complied with; • the invoice is returned to the Italian retailer within four months after the purchase was made. 4. The goods purchased and the relevant invoice must be shown at the customs exit point when leaving EU territory (if you intend to pack the purchased items into your check-in luggage, you must go to Customs BEFORE checking in). 5. After leaving EU territory, the traveller must return the original invoice, regularly endorsed by the customs office, to the Italian retailer. Said invoice must be returned within four months from the date when the document was issued. 6. The refund can be made directly by the Italian retailer (however, make sure that the shop you’ve chosen displays a “Tax Free Shopping” or “Euro Tax Free” sign in its window). 7. Several Tax-Free companies are able to offer immediate VAT cash refunds when the goods leave either Italian or EU territory (thus exonerating the passenger from having to return the invoice to the retailer). However, this procedure only applies at major international airports or main border crossings. Most major department stores have Tax Free Refund offices. 8. The services provided by Tax-Free companies imply the payment of a small administrative sum which is directly deducted from the amount of VAT refunded to the traveller. 9. In the event of a traveller not receiving a VAT refund within a reasonable period of time, he or she should re-contact the Italian retailer or one of the aforementioned companies. 10. However, please note, VAT cannot be refunded directly by customs offices. Source: www.agenziadoganemonopoli.gov.it/ portale/ee/citizen/vta-refund

ROME CONTEMPORARY ART SHINES AT THE PALATINE A comparison between archaeology and contemporary art. Over 100 works including large installations, sculptures, paintings, photographs and works on paper by prominent international artists will give a new look to the archaeological site of the ancient Palatine Hill. Artists exhibiting include Marina Abramovic, Gilbert & George, Barbara Kruger and Maurizio Cattelan. The exhibition is divided into three thematic sections. The first focuses on architectural installations, the second features ‘Hands’, while the last is devoted to ‘Portraits’. The exhibition explores the relationship between past and present, and is intended to encourage a reflection on collective memory, the meaning of architectural ruins and our vision of modernity.

РЕДАКЦИОННАЯ СТАТЬЯ

Порядок возмещения налога на добавленную стоимость

выставке 2014 года, которую

лондонский Victoria and Albert Museum назвал «Гламур итальянской моды», посвятив ее истории итальянской моды двадцатого века

и ее глубокому культурному влиянию, британский писатель Андреа Киркби сказал, что «если в строго традиционном английском понимании люди одеваются, чтобы скрыть наготу, то итальянская одежда - это самовыражение». В этом смысле, несмотря на то, что мода как индустрия сравнительно недавнее явление в истории Италии (оно зародилось только во второй половине двадцатого века), внимание к стилю было присуще итальянской культуре во все времена. «Я всегда любил эстетику. Не именно моду, а саму идею красоты». «Итальянцы знают, что важна не мода, а стиль. Итальянский стиль не имеет социальных или возрастных ограничений». «Разница между стилем и модой заключается в качестве. Для того чтобы создать что-то выдающееся, ваше мышление должно быть неуклонно сосредоточено на мельчайших деталях». Эти три утверждения, прочитанные одно за другим, хорошо объясняют, почему Италия считается мировой столицей элегантности: поэтому неудивительно, что они принадлежат соответственно Миучче Прада, Стефано Габбане и Джорджо Армани. Если в основе итальянской креативности лежит привычка к красоте, будь то пейзаж, искусство, архитектура или цвета еды, то средний итальянец - независимо от возраста и уровня образования - имеет своего рода «культурное преимущество» в распознавании красоты и элегантности: эта способность выходит за рамки текущих тенденций и касается, прежде всего, стиля. Разница между первым и вторым не является абстрактной концепцией, она непосредственно связана с качеством, а качество включает в себя ноу-хау, мастерство и детали. С таким объяснением согласно большинство

специалистов: оно логичное и обоснованное.

1. НДС (итал.: IVA) это налог на добавленную стоимость в отношении товаров и услуг, который входит в систему взимания налога на добавленную стоимость в Европейском Союзе. 2. В некоторых случаях туристы могут получить возмещение НДС. Это возмещение не распространяется на услуги, предоставленные гостиницами, ресторанами, такси или агентствами. 3. Вы можете иметь право на возмещение НДС, если: • вы не являетесь резидентом ЕС; • приобретенные товары предназначены только для личного или семейного пользования, и перевозятся в вашем багаже; • общая стоимость приобретенных товаров превышает 154,94 евро (с учетом НДС); • факт покупки доказан счетом. Этот счет должен включать описание приобретенных товаров, ваши личные данные, а также данные вашего паспорта или любого другого эквивалентного документа; • товары покидают территорию ЕС до конца третьего месяца после месяца их приобретения; • соблюдены предусмотренные таможенные формальности; • счет возвращен в итальянский магазин в течение четырех месяцев с момента совершения покупки. 4. Приобретенные товары и соответствующий счет должны быть предъявлены на таможне при выезде с территории ЕС (если вы собираетесь упаковать купленные товары в багаж при регистрации, то вы должны посетить таможню ДО регистрации на рейс). 5. После выезда с территории ЕС турист должен вернуть оригинал счета, надлежащим образом завизированный таможенным органом, в итальянский магазин. Этот счет необходимо вернуть в течение четырех месяцев со дня выдачи документа. 6. Возврат может осуществить непосредственно итальянский магазин (однако, убедитесь, что на окне выбранного вами магазина имеется надпись “Tax Free Shopping” или “Euro Tax Free”). 7. Некоторые компании, занимающиеся беспошлинным шопингом, могут немедленно возвращать НДС наличными, когда товар покидает территорию Италии или ЕС (таким образом освобождая туриста от обязательства вернуть счет в магазин). Однако, эта процедура применяется только в крупных международных аэропортах и в местах пересечения границ. Большинство крупных универмагов имеет пункты возврата НДС. 8. Услуги, предоставляемые компаниями по возврату НДС, подразумевают выплату небольшого канцелярского сбора, который непосредственно вычитается из суммы НДС, возвращенной туристу. 9. В случае если турист не получил возмещение НДС в разумные сроки, он или она должны снова связаться с итальянским магазином или одной из вышеупомянутых компаний. 10. Однако обратите внимание, что НДС не может быть возвращен непосредственно таможенными органами. Источник: www.agenziadoganemonopoli.gov.it/ portale/ee/citizen/vta-refund

коллекции, вдохновленные традициями Венеции, её ремесленным мастерством и многолетней торговлей эфирными маслами с Востоком.

DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY | UNIQUE

Legendary dining A stunning view over the Gulf, and a menu featuring the specialties of Campanian cuisine, superbly re-engineered by starred Michelin chef Lino Scarallo. A unique blend of taste, beauty and unusual stories offering visitors an immersive experience into the atmosphere of Naples. | by Elena Binda

he first location, after which the restaurant was named, was Palazzo Petrucci, a 15th-century building in the historic centre of Naples where conspirators were rounded up and beheaded by the king. In fact, according to lovers of the genre, the palazzo is still inhabited by their ghosts. The second, and current location, is Villa Donn’Anna, a 17th-century villa which, a legend suggests, was built by Queen Joanna II, who is believed to have entertained her lovers here before throwing them into the sea, to meet their deaths. After Joanna died, the building became cursed, punishing those who abused their power. Although we don’t know whether Edoardo Trotta and Lino Scarallo, the co-owner and chef of Ristorante Palazzo Petrucci at Villa Donn’Anna, respectively, find these dark stories appealing, what we do know is that they were enchanted by these breathtaking places. If their first location was evocative, their current premises are unforgettable. Located almost directly on the beach, in a position embracing the entire bay of Naples – with Vesuvius,

More contents on

Castel dell'Ovo, Mergellina, Capri and the Peninsula of Sorrento in the background – the locale offers guests a one-of-a-kind setting for a unique gastronomic experience. In fact, in 2009, the restaurant was the first in Naples to receive a Michelin star. The mastermind of the restaurant is 44-year-old Lino Scarallo. After learning about cuts of meat while working at his father’s butchery, he trained as a chef at the school of Enrico Cosentino (the inventor of ‘scialatielli”). Scarallo candidly tells us that if one of his customers leaves the restaurant feeling unsatisfied, he is unable to sleep at night. His cuisine is a blend of tradition and innovation, focusing on local favourites reinterpreted with a creative twist. Delicious aromas waft out of the open-view kitchen where the chef lovingly prepares his specialties. These include buffalo mozzarella and raw shrimp lasagna, paccheri stuffed with ricotta and ragù and a layered pastiera. And if you’re spoilt for choice by the fabulous array of dishes listed on the menu, there’s nothing that pleases the chef more than someone saying: “Lino, you take care of it”.

He will oblige by improvising something that is not featured on the menu to satisfy your every whim. Totally unique! Ristorante Palazzo Petrucci Napoli, Via Posillipo 16/c www.palazzopetrucciristorante.it
