Florentine fashion royalty, Laudomia Pucci, measures up a city of majestic museums, fabulous fashion and floral magic.
Start with something special
At our headquarters in Palazzo Pucci, in Via di Pucci, we can organize VIP appointments where guests can be talked through the latest collection as well as having a special tour. We can also grant access to the archives, and provide a unique VIP service.
Then discover new talent
I go to Luisa Via Roma for shopping. It is a fashion concept store and a great discoverer of new talent. It is luxury and contemporary at once, with everything from fashion and jewelry to skateboards!
Before indulging another passion
For a snack I love the truffle sandwiches at Procacci, just off the Piazza Della Repubblica. You can have them with tomato juice, they are just exceptional. Procacci is known by every Florentine. Camillo, on Borgo San Jacopo, is a Sunday lunch must. I love the spaghetti bottarga and the fried mozzarella. It is quite rich food, afterwards you have to go jogging in the hills!
Then sample the culture of majestic Florence
The Museum of the Opera del Duomo is just one of the most beautiful places, with incredible religious art in a modern setting. It is very important to go there.
And to end? How about a little magic
I strongly recommend Sebastian, the flower magician of Florence. He has a store at Hotel Savoy, my favorite hotel in Florence. He is a real genius.
Agrigento’s roots run as deep as the gnarled olive trees that dot its landscape, stretching back over 2,500 years to its founding as Akragas, one of the greatest cities of the ancient Greek world. Set against a breathtaking coastline, this once thriving cultural and political hub was praised by the Greek poet Pindar as “the most beautiful city of mortals”. Today, this splendour is immortalised in the Valley of the Temples.
In 1925, a world still shell-shocked from the ravages of World War I found renewal in a burgeoning artistic movement: Art Deco. It reflected motion, progress, the future. Immediately embraced by famed Belgian architect Victor Horta, he laid the foundations for Art Deco in Brussels with his plans for the Centre of Fine Arts (Bozar). This marked the inception of a radically modern approach to architecture and art in the city. Now, as Brussels marks a century of Art Deco style, it’s the perfect time to explore this distinctly walkable city with your own budding artists.
Along Italy’s dazzling southern coastline, two Rocco Forte Hotel retreats prepare to welcome spring’s arrival. Each destination, from Puglia’s rolling hills to the sugary shores of Sciacca, exudes charm and space to unwind while offering personalised onsite activities and local experiences.
