Silk printed SCARF Starting bid: $100 Bid increment: $30 Value: $307

DESCRIPTION: Collection in homage to Caslino d’Erba, my birthplace and home of a

flourishing business in the manufacturing and trade of the silk in the 18th century. I freely took

inspiration from the decorations of Pecori Palace, depicting sphinxes, lunettes with birds and

details of vases with magnificent flowers and fruits. Filippo Comerio (1747-1827) painted these

last-mentioned decorations. The majolic decoration in Faenza gained prestigious thanks to him

and the so-called “Comerio green” is named after this artist, who became one of the most

important European vase painters of that time.

Silk woven STOLE Starting bid: $100 Bid increment: $30 Value: $224

and lozenges that create a tridimensional effect.

Item #45

Silk Long Scarf Starting bid: $70 Bid increment: $30 Value: $173 Collection in homage to Bellagio, through the wooden furniture of Bar Rossi. In the past it was

a tearoom, whose owner, in 1903, decided to furnish following the Art Nouveau style, taking

inspiration from the fashion that was very popular in London in that period. He relied on the

mastery of G. Galfetti e Figli, family of cabinet makers and wood carvers. The Galfettis made

the decorations of Bar Rossi using the rose in its different phases, from the bud to the bloom,

as a pattern. Probably, they referred to the Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh,

leading exponent of the Art Nouveau in Great Britain.

Item #46

Silk printed TIE

Starting bid: $ 70 Bid increment: $30 Value: $173

Collection in homage to Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), genius of the Italian Renaissance who revolutionized the painting and the science. In particular, I took inspiration from the “Codex Leicester on Nature, Weight and Movement of water” about the water and the

astronomy, written by Leonardo in the first decade of the 16th century. I freely inspired myself to some details of the sheets of the Codex, where there are notes and drawings about the

Earth, the Moon and the Sun. Among these elements I put an image of Leonardo and a piece of the manuscript as background.

Balbianello BAG Starting bid: $100 Bid increment: $50 Value: $400

Collection in homage to Giuseppe Terragni (18th April 1904 – 19th July 1943), important architect of the 20th century. I freely inspired myself to his most famous work, the Casa Del Fascio in Como (1932-1936) unanimously considered the masterpiece of the Rationalism

master in Italy. I have elaborated it as a perfect proportioned parallelepiped. This building is characterized by a transparency network, by a continuous alternation of empty and full spaces,

underlining the relations between inside and outside, creating many points of view and the distribution of habitable spaces.

The Power Facial (men)


Restoring the health and bringing out the youth in a man’s face is the goal of this

comprehensive facial that combines several state-of-the-art technologies and a near magical,

seaweed-based gel designed to achieve maximum skin revitalization by prompting and

accelerating cellular renewal with immediate and visible outcomes. The core 75 minutes

service begins with the cleansing and exfoliation of your skin to resurface and brighten. FDA

approved, microcurrent therapy follows to lift and tone your underlying facial muscles, which

extends the effects and benefits of the regimen.
