Tonatto is a key representative of Italian perfumery throughout the world. Not far from Piazza Vittorio Veneto, there’s a hidden treasure trove where you can create your own scented portrait or purchase an element of olfactory design. The Gallerie Olfattorie are perfume ateliers where you can find all the fragrances of Maison Tonatto and the ‘Olfattoteca’ contains hundreds of olfactory notes. Under the supervision of Diletta Tonatto, the Maison offers an array of 26 fragrances interpreted in a collection of fragrances for the home and body. All the products are created using the traditional techniques of haute perfumery.

Put yourself in my shoes
In 2012, a year before founding Velasca, Enrico Casati worked in Singapore. He wanted a pair of elegant shoes, the kind that, like a well-cut suit, Italian men take for granted, but he couldn’t find what he was looking for. He teamed up with Jacopo Sebastio, his current business partner and, together, they established a new company with a clear mission. Their goal was twofold: to create elegant, timeless shoes for people who prefer elegance to passing fads, and to make Italian quality more accessible to those living in foreign countries. The company opened its first venue in Milan, the owners’ city of origin, and later another one in Rome. At the end of 2017, Velasca opened a third branch in Turin. However, its mission has not changed. Unsurprisingly, the Velasca Bottega in Turin is located just steps from Piazza Bodoni, in an elegant, stylish district hosting print shops, art galleries and Baroque palaces. A ‘salotto’ where people can discuss the merits of Made in Italy while trying on lace-up shoes, boots, Oxford or formal shoes.
