Synopsis

What a shame to call this book just a guide! This book, actually, is something more: it's a precious object of desire for all those ladies who are fancying for a getaway week to Italy or packing up ideas for the next Italian holiday. Beautifully and delicately illustrated, this feminine and extraordinary chic guide reveals to the readers the most authentic and exclusive Italy: shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars, museums, events and so many other places -- whether they be all-time favorites or well-kept secrets -- of the true Italians. And now all the ladies may discover these exquisitely rare and refined experiences for themselves too.

About this title

About the Author

Isabella Campagnol and Elisabeth Rainer are co-founders of Pretty Nice, an agency specialized in wedding planning, event organization and interior styling in Venice, Rome and Bolzano. Born and brought up in Venice, Isabella adores every corner of her lagoon, and especially the island of Murano where she lives in a converted glass factory, though her heart takes her to Rome (the Eternal City) too. A scholar specialized in the history of textiles, fashion and the decorative arts, she is the author of Forbidden Fashions. Invisible Luxuries in Early Modern Venice (Texas Tech University Press, 2014). A love of languages brought Elisabeth, who is a native of the Italian South Tyrol area, to “dip her toes” in the Venetian lagoon: as soon as she has the chance, she is off to her beloved apple orchards, but she always comes back... Multilingual, an expert in marketing and communications, she teaches and conducts seminars at universities and cultural institutions in Italy and abroad.Beatrice Campagnol is the artistic soul of the group. A graduate of the Fine Arts Academy of Venice, for many years she led a successful career in the Milan fashion world. Today she designs her creations independently and lives at a more relaxing pace with her family on her property in Sicily. Beatrice works with Pretty Nice on its projects as graphics artist and illustrator.
