her only daughter to the runway at the age of four and learned the business. in the one nine hundred seventy s. . became known as the queen of kashmir with her wall and cashmere designs mostly in white. top models like claudia schiffer naomi campbell and cindy crawford did catwalk shows for be a jockey in the one nine hundred eighty s. and ninety's he was never out to reinvent fashion. and fine fabrics and design is not limited to women with a model's figure her classic pieces never go out of style to this day silk and kashmir are lauer staples as to read one of her last shows. the company headquarters is the family owned. about twenty kilometers from rome and surrounded by the company's own golf course. as a child be a jockey played golf here with her mother and father johnny.

grandmother were real pioneers in the fashion industry your mother back in the seventy's your grandmother before that. that was back then what is it how is it now for women in the fashion industry particularly here in italy today if you look at the fashion industry or not so many women really leading roles which sounds quite unusual because you would say that you know the mother fast is a female's world but still we have to compete in every other field i was lucky enough to be inspired by leading women like my grandmother and my mother but this is not as easy for a young generation you know i would just try to be true to myself i'm not looking at people if they're male or female and i believe in energy i believe in being able of you know carrying on your job so you have energy you're also sponsoring one of the biggest golf tournaments in the world the ryder cup how did that come about well we're actually hosting there either cup marcos. imani which is another

of tourists come to the eternal city every year. to marvel a famous landmarks like the pantheon with the world's largest unredeemed forest concrete dome. and michelangelo's piazza serge del campi dalia. local resident christian serrano really enjoy showing tourists his city. here one hundred here in rome we not only have statues from antiquity but also quite a lot from the middle ages and from the renascence sources rome is a kind of historical example year because they always built on top of and next to the old rome everywhere you look you see different eras of. preserving it all is a never ending task and financing it's an endless challenge to go to an outer underwent restoration some thirty years ago funded by allow to be a jockey pioneer of fashion industry sponsorship.

of the coliseum to is a bright and shiny as in it's days of combat related glory. it's restoration was funded with twenty five million euros for me tahlia leather goods label diego della valet. restores our hard work in the narrow streets of the old town. the pier vanno family business stands woodcutting mosaics and gold plating. the father and two daughters have clients from all over the world and also carry out renovation work for the city of rome. that we carry enormous responsibility. when working on historical artworks. we have to bring out the beauty of these up to preserve them without counterfeiting that law is a bad law. a good restoration lends additional value to

a not ticked by law what is in the heart of the old town yet off the beaten tourist track lies the piano suffer naisi and its collapse are said to be one of rome's most beautiful renaissance buildings. but. here the locals come to enjoy frank first and read newspapers in the café. city guide christian serrano likes to bring the tourists here it's just a few steps from the famous campo de fury. yes i'm sure everything is quiet but over there there's so much commotion with all the pubs all the american students like to go there and in. the wrong piazza navona is only this peaceful early in the morning the majestic fountain of the four rivers is one of rome's most photographed signs. of course locals will also end up in some

holiday snapshots rome is a city full of surprises says archaeologist and to all guides define your dimaggio . by appointing you know on that i discover something new in rome almost every day it's unbelievable you never get enough of wrong i always tell tourists that one lifetime is not enough to see all there is to see in rome. but we did it with the love of. tourists and romans ally enjoy an evening stroll on the piazza navona. people come here to admire the fountains and their sculptures and want to show us the restaurants and cafes here are open late into the night. rome is also busy during the day as thousands of visit. take in its rich history.

so back in the future of the house as we just saw in that last report the piazza navona is a super popular tourist destination but since you're a true roman what place would you recommend for tourists to experience the real world. never have enough full grown i love my seat so much so i'd like to be a tourist forever in my seat and i still get lost some times because you know the center of the city is so it's like levine so mazing and every time i look out i see in some of the tape that i've missed you know in my previous war so one of my favorite part is they cut the cutting square where we story how i put it there now i design brain cannot unsettle and there are a few secrets in that that player actually can walk through this player behind the beautiful statue of marcus so radiant so you can see a wonderful terrace on the forum sometimes you know walking through the forums it's very crowded you can just go on the terrace which is right behind the statue and you can get one of the most beautiful students of the farm and they're going to see

you and then you can walk back to them and say could be thirteen which are not so seen and you can find some amazing pieces in there now venice is also a huge tourist magnet and also we see that your family is closely connected with why is that i love that me so much i used to live there indication when it was a child with my grandparents my parents and it was like being in a theater a little man you know they've gone and the water and the cars are so amazing and inspiring for me i think the water it's a very creative element because he moves things and he gives and different perspective and i like the museum and i love the ancient park and i do love the contemporary art my house and then he says close to the guggenheim museum and every time i go and visit it i take some great inspiration back with me and want to turn our attention a little bit too. fabrics you know venice is well known for the art of silk and velvet weaving which dates back centuries but when you look at to date how hard or easy is it for you to find good seamstresses well i would share

a secret with you when i lost my mother in all seventeen the first thing i did was hire a new seamstresses because i believe they needed patents you know he's made a great t.v. he's made up numbers is made of marketing and managers but most of all is made of hands is made of every day's work is made of stitching so i found three amazing women in rome and i had them immediately and that made me feel stronger and gave me the chance to share beauty. now in terms of fabrics where do you normally go shopping for your fabrics for the clothes well you do buy mainly kind of fabrics but as you know my mother was the first time in this manner to do a fashion show in china in one thousand nine hundred eight it was very early but then you know now that everybody goes to time they have been programmed by the one thing i think it was early and she was invited by the close there so we do still buy a lot of kashmir from china the new york times named the queen of kashmir because

she had the new contemporary approach and i love kashmir because it's great for a woman with the sort of traveling like me and where they kind of in the evening. now in venice so supply for centuries of clothing and fabrics for an old woman and churchmen alike we want to take a look at some of the factories that still remain today. the tourists who flock to venice normally come to see the most famous sights. but there are quieter corners where you will find venetians displaying centuries old handicrafts . some of the small shops around the caligula but take house genuine treasures. damask and hand printed fabrics. and usual accessories made of costly hand-woven scraps. the rebellion

weavers keep an archive of historical fabrics they date back to the golden age of silk weaving in sixteenth century venice. the luigi bevilacqua weavers give some idea of what it must've looked like back then. they were at three hundred year old pedal driven limbs the exclusive velvets can only be achieved by hand at the race of about thirty centimeters a day. they're sent all over the world gracing interiors from the white house to the kremlin in moscow. and fashion designers turn them into. the women here are we being read so felt it to be used in the restoration of the royal palace interest. rate so it was invented here in venice. it's made up of several layers of fabric

to create a relief like a fact. and at the same time with changing colors. another living treasure is the pulitzer for tonight now a museum in what was the private residence of spanish textile artist and art nouveau painter. arianna fortunately from eighty ninety two. he also developed new photography techniques. and design stage sets having fifty inventions patented including printing processes that remain a trade secret to this day. marianna for teeny gained fame for his process for producing is she a piece a his wife henrietta hughes did in the early twentieth century to create the iconic delphos gown.

the production was done on a cylindrical roller to make that out that not only gave the fabric excellent vertical aplysia plates. but also its horizontal crimping. that a lens in the dress greater allure. only a few steps further on is the last in each opera one of the world's finest opera houses it took several years of work to repair the damage caused by a major fire in one thousand nine hundred six the gold plated decoration in the rico theater hall is true to the original. even the exquisite curtain is a perfect copy of the original it was recreated by the b.s. forty fashion house and donated to the opera to the delight of tourists and venetians alike. so as we heard in the last report your family made

a fairly large donation gift to the city of venice tell us more about that relationship but as i told you before we are most loved danny so much it's such a beautiful city and at the same time it's so far gyal and i feel as any thailand that have to protect somehow so going back to did a nation in one thousand and six my father passed away unfortunately it was amazing and young it was only fifty nine and that's it. when they left in each i was born belongs to the world everybody has been i mean everybody went to venice the scene the wonderful place mother and i decided to donate the cars because we believe that's a wonderful sign of life when the car thing goes up the shows starts you know the shows begins the magic comes to you and the energy so we figured out that was a way to keep life carrying on. now you said you're a huge fan of the theater and the genre in particular well i love italian opera i love music in general it's so inspiring for me and it's so emotional i do need emotions to be creative being

a creative you know in the stage and since your family is so connected to the theater do you also get inspiration from the costumes that you might even see in venice especially because they're known for their balls in the costumes well i'm fascinated like a child you know every time i go to the forts and i said i'm not that much time to go but i love to watch it on you tube sometimes as well when i need some wonderful play and fascinated like a child by the amazing work and we spoke about seamstress says and there are so much you know so much details behind a future costume and it's very interesting for me to look at that now if you weren't a fashion designer and busy working the news in if you were to slip into a role on the theater this stage where would it be well first of all they could never be seen and so bad at me but i do love to dance take dance lessons that's one of my secrets and it helps me to feel balance with my body and mind but i'm not definitely a classical dancer were kind of dance you. know you know i

was told when i was a child i want to become a classical dancer at some point as every little girl but i was never you know the right size and the right kind of freedom ok now back to reality is that i'm from slipping into different roles looking at your brand and the roman perfume and just celebrated my. stone thirty years as you look at the entire company and the brand as a whole where would you like to see it heading in the next thirty years but i'm really happy to share with you our thirtieth anniversary of roman drama one well that's an amazing achievement to see you said it's a milestone if you think the average life of a fragrance right now on the market is from eighteen to twenty four months so you know being loved by men and women all around the world from thirty years it's a great great achievement now what do i want to do with my company well the company was founded by my grandmother in rome but we are right now in one thousand nine hundred sixty five so i've got an amazing heritage beyond my shoulders and i want

to do what she did and what my mom the it is making women and men all around the world feel more confident more conscious i think fashion i hate the word fashion victim by just to be a victim of their fashion i think fashion is to be an ally so my everyday goal is to share beauty and to share braveness in caracas sounds like a very good goal and that levine you know we thank you so much for having us here in the house in rome and for hosting us. and with that we have come to the end of the show as always you can keep up with us on social media facebook and instagram for me and the rest of the crew here i'm from vigilante thank you so much for tuning in we're seeing and seeing.
