DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY

talian art is fashionable now, and has been for centuries! This is indisputable and is likely to continue in 2018, given the announcement that Artainment is planning on staging a huge theatrical, musical and multi-media production in Rome in spring. This production will focus on making the birth of the Sistine Chapel come alive to the public. The facts are undeniable: scientific accuracy is guaranteed by documentation provided by the Vatican Museums, and the music will be spectacular, since the organizers have entrusted the soundtrack of the production to legendary rock star Sting.

This is only one example of the stimulating and expressive power of Italian art, a cultural heritage that continues to attract visitors from all over the world. Italy’s long history, from the Roman Empire to the present time, via that magnificent period known at the ‘Renaissance’, has produced masterpieces that are so iconic that their appeal has been preserved over the centuries. Take for example the innumerable pop revisitations of Leonardo’s Last Supper, the fame of works such as Michelangelo’s Universal Judgment, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, or the legendary aura that surrounds artists like Caravaggio. These painters and masterpieces were so powerful that they influenced subsequent movements, and today continue to inspire new generations of artists.

“

He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.” – St. Francis of Assisi –

“

In this issue of Italia Luxury, thanks to the cooperation of art historian Stefano Zuffi, we suggest an Italian itinerary comprising ‘ten masterpieces + one”: to banish the passing of time with eternal art, confirming that beauty gives us hope in this uncertain world. And if, while admiring one of these masterpieces, you suddenly happen to feel a sense of giddiness and confusion, don’t worry. It’s a passing disorder that medical literature refers to as ‘Stendhal’s syndrome’, because the first person to describe it was the French author, who wrote of feeling utterly overwhelmed by the Renaissance masterpieces he saw during a trip to Florence in 1817. No surprises there!

talian tour in ten masterpieces

|by Elena Binda

Mission impossible. Choosing ten masterpieces – only ten – from the world of Italian art seems crazy. But we decided to attempt this, and have selected an amazing itinerary infused with history and beauty. Italy is still the most sought-after art destination in the world!

here’s a place in the world where you can witness the creation of Adam, watch Venus emerging from the sea in all of her regal beauty, sit in at the most famous Last Supper in history or stand under a mosaic ceiling designed by a Roman empress named Galla Placidia. Here you can delve into the mystery of a cycle of frescoes recovered in the aftermath of a volcano that erupted two thousand years ago, or even ‘meet’ a duke of Montefeltro, who died in 1482, because his portrait is so realistic that you have the impression of seeing him in the flesh. This is Italy, where the most famous artists in history have left an appropriate tribute to what man can achieve. Several of the most spectacular, famous and widely admired works of art in the world can be found in this long, narrow strip of land jutting into the Mediterranean sea. In addition to boasting a concentration of art cities, unrivalled throughout the world, including Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Naples and Palermo, Italy is the birthplace of an extraordinary number of artists. Obtaining in-depth insight into Italy’s cultural heritage could take a lifetime. However, in order to get a brief overview of Italy’s cultural heritage, you simply need a few days of complete immersion, like hundreds of thousands of tourists do daily when visiting archaeological sites, churches, ‘palazzi’ and museums. ‘Innumerable’ treasures Everyone knows that beauty is incalculable, but this doesn’t seem to matter since tourist figures confirm what the eye sees and the heart knows. Italy boasts the largest collection of artworks in the world, and being able to admire them close up, attracts millions of tourists. In addition to hosting 53 World

THE IDEA OF BEAUTY The ‘Birth of Venus’ (1484) is one of the two famous mythological allegories painted by Botticelli. It is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.

LANDMARKS | ART

Heritage Sites, in 2016, data from Florence’s Tourist Study Centre corroborated by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, show that more than 110 million tourists visited cultural sites. And this trend is constantly evolving with an increase of +18% in 2010. It is therefore not surprising that the US News & World Report of ‘Best countries 2017’ rankings rated Italy as ‘The number one country in the world for cultural and heritage influence’. It’s difficult to quantify cultural influence so we decided to use a highly contemporary parameter. According to a monthly survey conducted by Arte.it, an average of five million searches are carried out on the Internet with ‘Italian art’ as a keyword. In the ranking of the most searched words in the art field worldwide, it is not surprising that Italy ranks top with examples like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Botticelli, Titian and Raphael – all names associated with the golden age of the Renaissance. People also search for renowned 0th century artists like Giorgio De Chirico and Lucio Fontana. How do those who are lucky enough to find themselves in Italy decide what to see? We mapped out an itinerary of ten masterpieces. We invited Italian art historian Stefano Zuffi, the author of numerous cultural advisory books, to draw up a list of ten stopovers on this fabulous art tour. He described this task as “a great game”, because choosing ten works – only ten – to represent the vast universe of Italian art is something that cannot be taken seriously. Even the most enlightened selection, would not do justice to the enormity of historic and geographical aspects, or the variety of authors and contexts involved. In the knowledge that we are committing sacrilege, here is the itinerary.

A handbook of marvels The best place to start the tour is Venice. An artwork in its own right, the city has hosted masters of the caliber of Titian, Tiepolo and Canaletto during its long, glorious history. Paintings by these artists are easily accessible so it’s not hard to find them. However, a lesser-known gem, and one of the city’s best-kept secrets is the so-called ‘cycle of St. Ursula’, a series of nine wall-paintings on canvas created by Carpaccio between 1490 and 1495. This pictorial cycle is housed in Venice’s Galleria dell’Accademia and offers viewers a marvellous experience of an innovative art form: St. Ursula’s rooms featuring a realistic portrayal of the interiors of a Venetian palace, enhanced by painstaking attention to detail, mark a turning point in Renaissance art. Apropos works marking the past and the present, the second leg of our tour is Padua. A slight geographic detour takes us back to the 14th century to admire the magnificent Chapel of the Scrovegni, a striking cycle of frescoes painted by Giotto around 1300. It’s impossible to describe the dazzling brilliance of the colours, the three dimensionality of these forms, or the narrative balance of what is rightfully considered one of the most important masterpieces of western art. Meticulous, ongoing restoration work has restored them to their former medieval glory, and they are truly fantastic! Our third stopover is Mantua, a charming art city surrounded by the sweeping, lake-like curve of the River Mincio and built around three beautiful piazzas. Mantua’s masterpiece is the socalled ‘Bridal Chamber’ frescoed by Andrea Mantegna between 1465 and 1474 in the Ducal Palace. This monumental work, painted as a tribute to the Gonzaga family, the rulers of the city,

TEN MASTERPIECES… PLUS ONE You can travel around Italy to discover its masterpieces of art or you can wait for them to come to you which, though rarer, sometimes happens. One such example is Titian’s ‘Sacred Conversation 1520’, a majestic altarpiece, also known as the ‘Gozzi Altarpiece’. This work, which can be viewed, with free admission, until 14 January at Milan’s Palazzo Marino, is on loan from the Pinacoteca Civica in Ancona, a city in Central Italy. Although this work belongs to the traditional genre known as ‘sacra conversazione’, it also marks a turning point where Titian goes beyond the standards of architecture and perspective of the 15th century. The choice of showcasing this work also affirms Milan’s support for the city of Ancona which, over the past few months, has played a key role as a centre for the storage and preservation of the numerous artworks and masterpieces from the regions of the Marche that were struck by an earthquake, which hit central Italy in 2016.

covers the entire room, including the walls and ceiling, blending harmoniously with the architectural structure while dominating it with a tromp l’œil effect. The painting ‘bursts through’ the ceiling offering viewers a stunning optical illusion. Amidst the folds of capes, and anatomical and hidden details, each square meter of the fresco can literally be studied for hours. Our fourth stopover is Milan, where our choice is a work of art that needs no introduction, since each year, almost one and half million people stand in line to see it. This is the

universally famous ‘Last Supper’ by Leonardo da Vinci, painted in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie around 1495. This masterpiece, which Leonardo painted using a singular technique (it’s a painting, not a fresco) requires constant maintenance in order to ensure that it does not disappear. In the Seventies, it was the object of one of the most meticulous and futurist innovative restoration procedures in history, which lasted almost twenty years. The knowledge of its fragility increases its appeal and sanctity. THROUGH THE CENTURIES Pictured here from the side, a view of the Scrovegni Chapel (circa 1300) which houses a striking cycle of frescoes by Giotto. On the previous page, a detail of the ‘Rooms of St. Ursula’ by Vittore Carpaccio (1490/95): the artist’s eye for detail was extraordinary.

LANDMARKS | ART FROM NORTH TO SOUTH On the left, ‘The Seven Works of Mercy’, a masterpiece housed in the church of Pio Monte di Pietà della Misericordia in Naples. The work is a compendium of Caravaggio’s method of painting. On the following page, a breathtaking view of the Duomo of Monreale in Palermo.

Travelling southwards From Milan, we head down to Florence where the Uffizi Gallery houses Botticelli’s ‘profane allegories’, masterpieces by the Florentine artist associated with the dominion of the Medicis. ‘The Birth of Venus’ is considered the archetype of female beauty in art. With her chaste nudity, delicate features and unmatched grace, the goddess represents the epitome of spiritual rather than physical beauty; attributes further enhanced by the important philosophical and religious symbols featured in the painting. The same applies to Botticelli’s ‘Primavera’ (Spring), which was also painted around 1482. This painting is so rich in meaning and allegorical references that critics still consider it a mystery. Thankfully, our appreciation for the beauty of the painting as a whole, a marvelous spectacle that captures our attention, transcends our difficulty in understanding it. Without leaving Tuscany, we now move to Siena, another jewellike city deeply loved by travelers. Here, in the Sala dei Nove

(Council Room) of the city’s Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) we find a cycle of frescoes by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, dated around 1338 and known as the ‘Allegory of Good Government’. Magnificent and instructive, this work is important because it bears historical witness to the political situation that prevailed in several Italian cities during Medieval times. The work is also about beauty, achieved through the masterful use of light, and the multiplicity of viewpoints, which offer an admirable sense of depth. At this point, our journey takes us to Rome where, among the endless options, the only choice was Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, a work that is firmly rooted in the psyche of the entire western world. This is a cultural treasure of unparalleled beauty that is not, technically speaking, housed in Italy but in the Vatican State. Countless anecdotes and legends surround the creation of Michelangelo’s masterpiece, which was executed between 1508 and 1540. The work is considered a visual critical interpretation of theology and, whatever your point of

Photo: © Andreas Zerndl / Shutterstock.com view, it is an inspirational place, whose magnificence will move you. Another work that will affect you deeply is Caravaggio’s ‘Seven Works of Mercy’, the painting chosen for our stopover in Naples. Housed in the church of Pio Monte della Misericordia, and executed in 1606, this painting is a perfect example of Caravaggio’s style: revolutionary techniques, an intense realism that brought personality to his figures, and a use of light that had never been seen before, and which created a dramatic effect of chiaroscuro, which will astound you. This painting by Caravaggio, an artist who was as controversial for his revolutionary artworks as he was for his infamous temper, is both symbolic and hyper realistic. The last stopover takes us back to the origin of Italian culture. Palermo, the capital of Sicily, is an ancient port. Although the town passed from one ruling power to another, it has always retained its own, very distinct, and palpable atmosphere. In 2015, Arab-Norman Palermo and its neighbouring cathedrals were granted status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an outstanding example of a sociocultural syncretism between Western, Islamic, and Byzantine cultures. Among its many marvels, is the Duomo of Monreale, a cathedral renowned for its gold Byzantine mosaics, created at the beginning of the first millennium. These mosaics effectively contribute to explaining how and why Italy is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Mission accomplished.

ART TODAY The Renaissance is considered the golden age of Italian art: this idea has been reaffirmed time and time again by international visitors coming to Italy for this reason, and is certainly not an exaggerated claim. However, the production of Italian art, and its cultural influence on the rest of the world, does not end here. To get an idea of the vitality of the contemporary art scene, we recommend several must-visit addresses: places that either host artworks or contribute to creating them. Below, you’ll find a few.

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”

The Imperial Forum, the Colosseum, the ‘Mouth of Truth’ and the Domus Aurea. The roots of Rome’s splendour can be found in the classical age, when the city was the centre of a vast empire that contributed to the spreading of incredibly advanced standards of civilization. The ancient ruins from that era are among the world’s bestloved and most sought-after tourist attractions. Likewise, especially between the Renaissance and Baroque periods, Rome’s role as the capital of Christianity contributed to making it the centre of the artistic world with a concentration of artworks that was unrivaled elsewhere. Many of the world’s most celebrated artists were summoned by popes to come to Rome, where they left behind masterpieces of immeasurable beauty.

Mantua, the city of the Gonzagas

From above: the breathtaking illusionism of the painted vault of the Bridal Chamber, frescoed by Andrea Mantegna in 1474. Pictured above, a view of Mantua nestled on the banks of the Mincio River.

Though less well-known than Venice or Florence, Mantua, a charming city situated in Northern Italy on the banks of the River Mincio, is packed with art treasures. Governed by the Gonzaga family for four centuries, from circa 1300 to 1700, this Lombard city experienced its maximum period of splendour during the Renaissance, when its most famous masterpieces were executed. A renowned patron of the arts, Isabella d’Este, the Marchesa of Mantua and the wife of Federico Gonzaga, summoned artists like Titian, Perugino, Leonardo da Vinci and Correggio to her court. Inspired by his mother’s passion for collecting art, Federico II invited Raphael’s pupil Giulio Romano to come to Mantua to build Palazzo Te, a dazzling example of 16th-century classicism. Even the layout of the city itself with its squares and palaces is truly delightful.

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. Mark’s bell tower, or the lesser known spiral staircase of Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, and let your gaze wander over the lagoon.

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 world’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 workobsessed 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.

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. On the opposite page, the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most widely-visited museums in the world.

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.

Based on the motto that ‘Bread is Gold’, Massimo Bottura is a chef who embraces the idea of “cucina povera” (humble cuisine). His famed ‘Osteria Francescana’ in Modena holds a prestigious three Michelin-star rating and was ranked number 1 on ‘The World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards 2016’. Bottura suggests pairing his ‘passatelli in broth’ with a 2014 Trebbiano d’Abruzzo ‘Fontecanale Tiberio’.

Parmigiano Reggiano is the most well-known and commercial aged cheese in the world. Although others have tried to imitate its unmistakable taste, it can only be called ‘Parmigiano’ if it’s produced in certain, specific areas of Italy such as the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna (but only in the area to the west of the Reno river) and Mantua (but only in the area to the south of the Po river). Remaining true to his Emilian origins, Bottura uses it to flavour his ‘passatelli’, a traditional pasta dish that is emblematic of one the chef’s principle beliefs: the waste from one meal’s preparation should be repurposed to create a subsequent meal. He believes that raising awareness about conserving resources applies just as much to food as it does to earth’s other resources. Based on this philosophy, Bottura uses stale bread to make breadcrumbs and all kinds of vegetable peelings, such as potato skins, and the peels of Jerusalem artichokes and parsnips, a tuber used in ancient Roman times, to make broth.

The restaurant’s signature "From the Olive Trees" dessert pairs perfectly with a Recioto della Valpolicella. This superb dessert, conceived by Luca Lacalamita, the pastry chef at ’Enoteca Pinchiorri, in Florence, one of the most sought-after, three Michelinstarred restaurants in Italy, is made from layers of Tuscan chocolate, freshly harvested olive oil and blueberries. Lacalamita works in tandem with Annie Féolde, chef-owner of the restaurant together with her longtime companion Giorgio Pinchiorri.

In the cuisine served at Enoteca Pinchiorri, ’chocolate’ is by no means a generic, catch-all term. In the recipe generously shared by master pastry chef Luca Lacalamita, the star player is a Chuao Amedei, one of the 13 varieties featured on the list of Amedei, a renowned Tuscan company that has achieved cult-like status among top chefs thanks to its painstaking attention to the many stages involved in the manufacturing process. Its owner Cecilia Tessieri, the first female maître chocolatier’ in the world, seeks out the best plantations and the most authentic ‘Cru’. The superlative quality of her chocolate – from ‘bean to bar’ – has made the company a six-time winner of the Academy of Chocolate’s Golden Bean Award. Her Chuao, boasting the fresh, delicate aroma of cocoa and red berries, pairs perfectly with the pungent notes of olive oil and the slight acidity of blueberries, preferably from Garfagnana.

Two-Michelin-starred Italian chef Moreno Cedroni is renowned for his eclectic pairings. Considered one of Italy’s most innovative talents, he is famous for having invented ‘susci’, sushi upgraded with a Mediterranean twist. His ‘La Madonnina del Pescatore’ in Senigallia, Ancona, is ranked among the ten best fish restaurants in Europe. Here, he tantalizes the palates of his diners with an omelet filled with clams, wild herbs and fermented purple cabbage. The ingredient suggested by Cedroni is an extra virgin olive oil which he associates with his native Umbria. Two of his favourites include the highly prized monovarietal ‘Raggia di Giacani’ or a robust ‘Inprivio di Viola’.

In Italy, when people talk about ‘clams’ they are referring to bivalve molluscs of the ‘Venerupis decussata’ species, better known as ‘vongole veraci’. This mollusc is commonly found in the Mediterranean, buried in the sand of the shallow waters of sea beds or lagoons, at a maximum depth of up to 20 metres. Thanks to their availability, clams are a part of the culinary tradition of all coastal areas. The ‘Verace’ species – of the fished rather than bred variety – has an elongated shape, marked rings on the shells and a delicate, chewy texture. Clams are often used in sauces or reductions, to add an unmistakable ‘taste of the sea’ to pasta or other dishes. The pairing proposed by Chef Moreno Cedroni is both unusual and inspirational. Cedroni infuses a creamy omelet with a clam sauce, enhanced with only the finest extra virgin olive oil (one of his ‘musts’) and purple cabbage, a typically winter vegetable. The maestro suggests fermenting the cabbage, which he spices up with a dash of chili pepper.

PURE ELEGANCE Distinguished by simple lines and inspired by nature, the Italian designer’s objects are devoid of the harshness that mass-produced objects often acquire through machine work. Instead of merely being functional, these objects are

designed to arouse emotions. Rina Menardi, a potter, artisan, artist and designer, has been experimenting with clay since 1980 at her beautiful studio in Gruaro, on the outskirts of Venice. In addition to fine-tuning her working techniques, over the years, she has focused on exploring colour schemes while striving to achieve neatness of shape. The result is a stunning collection of handmade stoneware objects, conceived to bring a feeling of serenity and aesthetic harmony to the home and table. www.rinamenardi.com

(UN)WEARABLE ART His wife, Louisa James, was the first lucky one to receive a piece of his work: a token of love that came in the form of a hammered brass bracelet. Although more well-known for his abstract mobile sculptures, American artist Alexander Calder made more than 1,800 earrings, bracelets, necklaces and brooches during his lifetime. Copper, brass, silver, glass, wood, leather or ceramics: his avant-garde, unconventional jewelry was described as ‘unwearable art’. Although the artistic value of his creations was beyond question, Calder considered jewelry-making as a hobby and only made pieces for his family and friends. Luckily, his friends were prominent people in the art world like Peggy Guggenheim, Georgia O'Keeffe, Madame Miró, Madame Duchamp and Madame Chagall, who certainly recognized and appreciated high-caliber artwork when they saw it.

PEOPLE | GOBBI 1842

Once upon a time... ... there was a clockmaker, whose shop can still be found to this day. Only now it’s much larger and has 175 years of history behind it. Serena Gobbi has inherited her family’s timekeeping tradition and has even taken it a step further launching Gobbi’s first line of jewelry, not surprisingly called ‘Fairytale’. By Elena Binda

Serena Pozzolini Gobbi, Managing Director

GOBBI 1842 www.gobbi1842.com Milano. Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 15. T: 02 76020536.

his fairytale began one and a half centuries ago, in 1842, when clockmaker extraordinaire Raimondo Gobbi opened his first workshop in Modena. His craftsmanship was so outstanding that within ten years he was asked to be the ‘Clockmaker to the Royal Court’. Later, his son moved to Milan and opened a store on the elegant shopping street Corso Vittorio Emanuele, which is where it still stands today. As with all good fairy tales, there was a marriage (his granddaughter Adriana married Luigi Pozzolini, a timepiece representative whose business savvy helped the talented craftsman grow his company) and a storyline filled not only with moments of climactic triumph but also utter defeat, the most notable being the bombings of the Second World War which forced the family to rebuild the shop from scratch. Today, this historic workshop, still outfitted with its original furnishings, is a thriving business and an institution of haute horlogerie in Italy. The shop is now under the competent stewardship of Luca Pozzolini Gobbi, a strong administrator with concrete business skills, and complimented by the fanciful creativity of his daughter Serena, who loves fairytales. Having grown up surrounded by beautiful, intricate objects, it’s no wonder that designing a line of jewelry would be a natural outlet for her talent. A capsule collection of twenty pieces including necklaces, rings, earrings and pendants that are both sinuous and minimalist at the same time. The recurring theme is the spiral, a powerful symbol referencing the continuous movement of watches. “Our philosophy is based on never sacrificing quality for the ephemeral”, explains Serena. “Behind every precious watch there is a relentless quest for accuracy and chronometric precision. The spiral symbolizes my family’s DNA, but also the idea of a flirty dress that twirls in a never-ending dance.” These are the words spoken by a young woman who loves fairy tales because, as she knows, they can come true.

1. PENDANT. This pendant in white gold 750/1000 set with a pavé of rubies brings your fairy tale to life. Based on a spiral motif, like all the pieces of the ‘Fairytale’ collection, it references the perfect mechanism of a watch and the DNA of six generations of the family’s history,

2. EARRINGS. As light as a pas de deux, like the delicate mechanisms of a watch, the elusive yet powerful movement of these spiral earrings in rose gold 750/1000 set with a pavé of diamonds conjures up thoughts of the

passing of time.

3. BRACELET. The entire ‘Fairytale’ collection is characterized by an inspirational design enhanced by precious stones and materials. This rose gold 750/1000 tennis bracelet, set with a pavé of brown diamonds, highlights these features to perfection. An exquisite piece of jewelry that evokes the ethereal world of fairy tales.

STYLE | MONOCLE

The art of eyewear A luxury eyewear boutique located in an enviable position in Rome roughly halfway between the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps, Monocle is the result of a long family tradition of passion and dedication to their art.

MONOCLE monocle.it Rome. Via di Campo Marzio, 13. T: 06 6833668.

ong before Monocle existed in its current form, the founder’s grandfather sold eyeglasses out of a small shop in Piazza Vittorio. Now Gabriele Vergerio has transformed this ancestral activity into a chic modern boutique, inspired by minimalism, exclusivity, and constant research in the sector. The boutique itself is a work of art. The design is based upon the concepts of Italian architect Andrea Eusebi, using only the finest materials, such as rosewood and burnished iron, all proudly handmade in Italy. It features intriguing optical illusions, such as an elongated wall that seems to stretch into infinity from certain angles, creating a virtual passageway to another world. Vergerio sees the store as a kind of neighborhood, with the glasses on display becoming living objects. When it comes to the glasses themselves, the boutique prides itself on forgoing industrial brands in favor of hand-crafted frames by both up-and-coming and well established artisan designers, including Thom Browne, Kuboraum, Dita, Linda Farrow Luxe, Matsuda, Ahlem, Mykita, Jacques Marie Mage, 8000 Eyewear, and Rigards, among others. Friendly staff members are on hand to offer helpful advice. “Our philosophy is that recommending glasses is more than choosing a shape for a face, so we try to find a design that goes well with a person’s personality and style, reflecting the way they want to be perceived,” says Vergerio. And in addition to their eyewear collection, Monocle also offers a range of luxury perfumes and colognes with a particular focus on independent Italian brands like Meo Fusciuni. For Vergerio, his boutique is his calling card, and the message he wants to convey is that at Monocle, customers who are searching for the perfect pair of eyeglasses will find in his shop what they’ve been unable to find elsewhere.

Tax Free Refund Guide 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

DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY | SAVE THE DATE

Art If you're looking for something away from major crowded must-see events, the ‘Bel Paese’ is full of gems. Here's our pick of the best’.

ROME THE ESSENTIAL TRUTH OF THINGS “Modern art, like ancient art, is the only thing that manages to express the essential truth of things with profound humanity and spirituality…” The works of Sicilian painter Francesco Trombadori draw inspiration from the city of Rome which, at that time, was a centre of intense artistic and cultural debate. The exhibition features sixty canvases, painted between 1915 and 1961, on loan from important Italian public and private collections, plus drawings, books and exhibition catalogues.

13 October – 11 February 2018 The Essential Truth of Things. Francesco Trombadori (Syracuse 1886 - Rome 1961) Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Roma, via Francesco Crispi 24 www.galleriaartemodernaroma.it

NAPLES IMPERIAL CHINA GUARDS VIA TOLEDO One hundred and seven life-sized terracotta warriors welcome visitors in the nave of the Basilica of Santo Spirito in via Toledo, unlocking the mysteries of a vanished empire. This small contingent of ‘The Terracotta Army’ (8,000 statues dating back to the 3rd-century B.C. which guarded the tomb of Qin Shi Huang in Xi’an), offers visitors a unique opportunity to admire the 16th-century basilica, a masterpiece of Neapolitan Baroque, specially opened to the public to mark the occasion.

THE TERRACOTTA ARMY 6 November – 28 January 2018

MILAN THE ARTIST AND THE PROJECT This exhibition offers a new perspective of conceptual artist Sol LeWitt’s (Hartford, 1928 – New York, 2007) practice, ten years after his death. It includes a substantial body of works spanning his lifelong career. Starting with the distinguishing features of the Foundation, it explores the relationship between LeWitt’s work and its architecture. This is a feat achieved thanks to the collaboration of archistar Rem Koolhaas, in his first-ever role as a curator.

17 November 2017 – 23 June 2018 Sol LeWitt. Between the Lines Fondazione Carriero, via Cino del Duca 4 www.fondazionecarriero.org

DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY | SAVE THE DATE CITTÀ DI CASTELLO, PERUGIA THE ALBERTO BURRI COLLECTION In March, following the launch of an exhibition space dedicated to a massive body of graphic works, the largest ‘Artist’s Museum’ in the world was finally completed. The ‘Burri Hub’, featuring three different collections, including open-air sculptures, is one of the most important centres of contemporary art in Europe. The new section, located at the former tobacco drying factory, features the entire collection of graphic works (200) by the renowned Italian artist executed between 1950 and 1994.

FLORENCE IDENTITY AND MOVEMENT The underlying philosophy of Adrian Paci’s complex solo exhibition is water as a metaphor of movement and flux, but also as a means of action and reaction. The artist focuses with poetic intensity on the concepts of migration, identity and the ebb and flow of populations. Three works, never seen before, plus a selection of videos, paintings and photographs will be hosted at the spaces of the Museo Novecento, in some instances alongside the works of the museum’s permanent collection. The show’s reach is expanded by the display of several of the artist’s other works at the satellite sites of Le Murate, Pelago and Montelupo Fiorentino.

CASTELFRANCO VENETO, TREVISO MASTERPIECES OF ART AND TEXTILES This lavish exhibition, involving several different locations across the city, focuses on the dialogue between history of art and textiles, and starts from the ‘Altarpiece of Castelfranco’, a masterpiece by Giorgione. Featuring a rich selection of masterpieces, including works by Giorgione, Titian, Lotto, Veronese and Tiepolo, it showcases the portraits of powerful figures of the era alongside exquisite examples of textiles and clothing on loan from Palazzo Mocenigo in Venice.

Photography A world torn by war, injustice and suffering. Milan pays tribute to renowned war photographer James Nachtwey with a must-see exhibition. Rome celebrates the timeless Leica 35mm with an extraordinary collection of images taken by its most renowned ‘fans’. MILAN A WAR-TORN PLANET In his reportage, American photographer James Nachtwey chronicles the horrors of war, the violence of terrorism and the empty stares of desperation. Universally considered the successor of Robert Capa, Nachtwey’s exhibition titled 'Memoria' features 200 images that were selected by the photographer himself. This exhibition is an overview of his sensitive and riveting photographs made under difficult conditions in various parts of the world including El Salvador, Gaza, Indonesia, Japan, Africa, Afghanistan, Nepal and Europe beset by the refugee crisis.

Events Two must-see sporting events are headed to Italy this winter: the legendary Six Nations rugby competition and the spectacular World Figure Skating Championships. But February also marks the arrival of Carnival: a grand ball in Venice is not to be missed!

MILAN PASSION, HARMONY AND MUSIC An inimitable blend of dance, sport and entertainment, this year, the ISU World Figure Skating Championships will be held in Milan.

ROME THE GREAT CHALLENGE As all sports fans know, the Six Nations Championship (Torneo Sei Nazioni, Tournoi des six nations, Comórtas na Sé Náisiún, Pencampwriaeth y Chwe Gwlad, Na Sia Nàiseanan) is the most important international 15-match rugby competition in the Northern Hemisphere. Originally played between teams from Wales, England, Ireland and Scotland, it became the Five Nations when France joined, and then the Six Nations Championships with the additional of Italy. This year, the two home games at the Olimpico Stadium in Rome will see Italy take on England and Scotland.

VENICE A MASKED DREAM Carnival in Venice (27 January - 13 February, www.carnevale.venezia.it) needs no introduction. It is one of Italy’s most well-known and eagerlyawaited events that should be experienced at least once in a lifetime. To celebrate the occasion, incredibly lavish parties are organized at aristocratic ‘palazzi’ across the city. The most exclusive and historic is ‘Il Ballo del Doge', ‘the’ Ball par excellence, and Carnival’s most extravagant due to its location (the majestic Palazzo Pisani Moretta, a historic building on the Grand Canal): painstaking attention to scenographic details, a delectable menu and a roster of elite international guests whose anonymity is protected by masks and opulent costumes. This year’s theme is ‘Rebirth & Celebration’, which serves as inspiration for shows, music and balls. However, one rule applies: wearing a masked costume is required.

Entertainment An unusual idea because it’s unique. The production (art? performance?) of Michelangelo’s Universal Judgment aims to amaze and captivate the public thanks to the masterpiece at the Sistine Chapel. The other dates: an evening of world-class jazz in Verona and a dance gala in Naples.

ROME IMMERSED IN BEAUTY A surround-sound, live show dedicated to the Universal Judgement frescoed by Michelangelo, a journey into the marvels of the Sistine Chapel to discover its history and secrets. A unique blend of art and entertainment, this exceptional show, produced in collaboration with the Vatican Museums, features immersive screenings, live performers, original music by Sting and spectacular scenic effects. A unique marriage of theatre and technology that focuses on unveiling the secrets of the Sistine Chapel and bringing all the power of Michelangelo’s masterpiece to life.

NAPLES PAS-DE-DEUX IN THE SHADOW OF VESUVIUS In February, the city’s magnificent theatre will host the Bellini International Dance Gala. The event will see a line-up of principal ballet stars from the world’s most prestigious companies, alongside renowned soloists and dancers from the classic and contemporary scene. Guest artists performing at the Gala will include Lucia Lacarra and Marlon Dino who will showcase their skills in the famous pas-de-deux from Act II of Swan Lake and in the pas-de-deux of Russell Maliphant’s contemporary commission titled Spiral Pass.

17-18 February Bellini International Dance Gala Teatro Bellini, via Conte di Ruvo 14 www.teatrobellini.it

VERONA AN EVENING WITH BRAD MEHLDAU A stunning example of 18th century theatrical architecture, Verona’s Teatro Ristori was built in 1837, closed down in 1983, and then finally re-opened to the public in 2012 following in-depth restoration work. The old Italianate auditorium – featuring two tiers of box seats decorated with inlay – hosts an impressive line-up of jazz artists. This month, in Verona, fans of the genre, will be treated to a performance by Brad Mehldau, one of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary piano. The artist from Jacksonville will present his ‘Three Pieces after Bach’ for piano solo, inspired by ‘The Well-Tempered Clavier’, one of the Baroque composer’s most captivating masterpieces.

大利艺术正在流行——且已流行了上千年。2018年，其趋势仍然不减，最好的证明来自Artainment公司，它宣布明年春天将在罗马启动一项大型戏剧、音乐剧及多媒体制作项目，以让观众重新感受梵蒂冈西斯廷礼拜堂（Cappella Sistina）诞生的过程。主角的实力当然毋庸置疑，科学准确性由梵蒂冈博物馆的顾问来保障，而音乐的制作则交给了音乐家斯汀，必然也不会错。说到意大利艺术的感召力和传达能力，这只是一个例子而已，而意大利艺术至今仍是一个可以吸引全世界游客前来欣赏的文化瑰宝。意大利悠久的历史从古罗马帝国开始、穿越了 “文艺复兴”的精彩时代一直到今天，创造了如此标志性、经得起时间洗礼的杰作：比如被无数波普艺术家模仿的达芬奇之作《最后的晚餐》、米开朗基罗享有盛名的《最后的审判》、波提切利的《维纳斯的诞生》，或是卡拉瓦乔用笔下人物谱写的神话。这些大师和杰作影响了后世的整个文化发展，以至于到今天还在不断给新的艺术形式提供灵感。本期的《Italia Luxury》请来了艺术史学家斯蒂芬尼•祖菲（Stefano Zuffi）先生，一起为大家呈现一场“10+1个杰作” 的意式旅程，共同感受艺术的永恒如何淡化时间的流逝，重申丑恶虽然存在，但美感就是希望。如果您在面对这些杰作时感受到一阵眩晕，敬请放心：医学文献把这种短暂的不适称之为“司汤达综合征”，之所以叫这个名字是因为第一个对此症状进行描述的正是这位法国作家，他在强烈的美感刺激下感受到了一阵晕眩和恍惚。毫无疑问，他当时正是位于佛罗伦萨。

退税指南 1. 增值税（意大利语：IVA）是一种附加在商品和服务上的增值税，是欧盟增值税制度的一部分。 2. 在某些情况下，旅客可以获得增值税的返还，但酒店、餐馆、出租车或代理机构提供的服务不享受退税。 3. 您必须符合以下条件，才能享受退税： • 您是非欧盟居民; • 您所购的商品仅供个人或家庭使用，并携带在行李箱内; • 您所购商品的总价值超过154.94欧元（含增值税; • 您拥有所购商品的发票。该发票应包括所购商品的描述、您的个人信息以及您的护照或任何其他等效文件的详细信息; • 所购商品需在购买当月之后的第三个月内离开欧盟地区; • 按照海关要求办理相关手续; • 将商品发票在购买后的四个月内退回给意大利零售商。 4. 您所购买的商品和相关发票必须在离开欧盟地区时的海关出口处出示（如果您打算将购买的商品包装在您的托运行李中，则必须在办理登机手续之前前往海关。 5. 在离开欧盟地区后，旅客必须将经由海关认证的原始发票退回给意大利零售商。所述发票必须自开具日期起四个月内退回。 6. 退税服务可由意大利零售商直接提供（但请确保您所选商店的橱窗上贴有“ Tax Free Shopping”或“Euro Tax Free”标识）。 7. 多数免税公司可在货物离开意大利或欧盟地区时即刻提供增值税现金退税服务（因此乘客可省略将发票退给零售商的步骤）。但是，这一程序仅适用于大型国际机场或主要边境口岸。多数大型百货公司都设有退税办公室。 8. 免税公司在提供服务时会收取一笔小额的服务费，该金额将直接从退还给旅客的增值税中扣除。 9. 如果旅客在合理的时间内没有收到增值税退款，应重新联系意大利零售商或上述退税公司之一。

用手工作的人是工人。用手和用脑工作的人是工匠。而用手、脑、心一起工作的人，才是艺术家。

РЕДАКЦИОННАЯ СТАТЬЯ

тальянское искусство в моде:

вот уже пару тысячелетий. Эта тенденция сохранится и в 2018 году, если сбудется объявленный компанией Artainment на весну

дебют в Риме колоссального театрального, музыкального и мультимедийного представления, которое перенесет зрителей во времена создания Сикстинской капеллы. Тема не обсуждается, научная точность гарантируется консультантами из Музеев Ватикана, и музыка не должна быть плохой, судя по тому, что авторы доверили музыкальное оформление некому Стингу.

Это лишь один пример символического и коммуникативного потенциала итальянского искусства, культурного наследия, которое все еще привлекает людей со всего мира. Долгая история Италии, от Римской империи до настоящего времени, включая чудесную эпоху, называемую «Возрождение», произвела знаковые шедевры, которые прошли сквозь века: достаточно вспомнить о бесчисленных поп-версиях «Тайной вечери» Леонардо, о таких известных произведениях, как «Страшный суд» Микеланджело или «Рождение Венеры» Боттичелли, о таких легендарных персонажах, как Караваджо. Эти художники и шедевры определили ход последующего развития культуры, и их творческая сила настолько мощна, что продолжает вдохновлять новое искусство. В этом номере Italia Luxury, следуя рекомендациям искусствоведа Стефано Дзуффи, мы предлагаем шедевра»: чтобы забыть о течении времени благодаря вечному искусству и еще раз убедиться в том, что красота олицетворяет надежду на фоне неприглядной действительности. И если при созерцании одного из этих шедевров вы почувствуете головокружение, то не волнуйтесь: это преходящее состояние, в медицинской литературе называемое «синдром Стендаля», потому что французский писатель первым описал его симптомы. Он почувствовал себя немного ошеломленным перед чрезмерной красотой: само собой разумеется, в тот момент он находился во Флоренции.

Порядок возмещения налога на добавленную стоимость 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

DELIGHT IN THE GREAT BEAUTY | UNIQUE

The landmark restaurant Someone once remarked that Savini, like La Scala, the Duomo or the Galleria, ‘is’ Milan. For the past 150 years, the world’s elite have come to Savini to eat well, and engage with the city. This historic venue has never ceased to be ‘in vogue’. By Elena Binda

ne of the best ways to experience Milan, is to dine at Savini. Sitting at the tables of this restaurant means being in the heart of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, one of the city’s best-known landmarks. The Galleria, which overlooks the Duomo, connects the Cathedral to the ‘temple of opera’, the worldrenowned Teatro alla Scala. Traversed daily by thousands of locals and tourists, the Galleria is home to the most elegant boutiques and the most historic bookshops. For 150 years, the Galleria has been used to hold meetings, launch trends, and seal business deals. And, it was here, in 1884, that Savini first opened its doors. In those days it was undoubtedly a unique and innovative locale. Savini was the brainchild of a young entrepreneur, Virgilio Savini, who took over an old beer hall and transformed it into a stylish café-restaurant. People could meet here throughout the day, and thanks to its proximity to the opera house and theatres, Savini soon became the favourite haunt of some of the world’s most illustrious names, including Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Arturo Toscanini, Gabriele D’Annunzio, Eleonora

Duse, Giovanni Verga and Tommaso Marinetti, who expounded upon Futurism here. Over the decades, its reputation as an elite locale continued to grow and, during the second half of the 20th century, it was patronized by luminaries like Maria Callas, Luchino Visconti, Charlie Chaplin, Grace Kelly, Erich Maria Remarque, Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner, Carla Fracci, Henry Ford and Totò. Eugenio Montale, recipient of the 1975 Nobel Prize in Literature, said that he had discovered “the poetry of cuisine” at Savini. And today? Although many things have changed, Savini’s poetry has remained intact. In 2008, the Gatto family took over the restaurant, and Giovanni Bon (see photo), a talented young chef who trained under several of Italy’s most renowned maestros, has enthusiastically taken on the challenge of bringing Savini into the new millennium, preserving it uniquely innovative spirit, and skillfully blending the old with the new. As in the past, its mission is to offer diners the finest gastronomic experience in a luxurious and comfortable setting. Inspired by Milanese tradition, Savini’s gourmet cuisine offers diners a fresh take on classic dishes.
