Did you know the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, once had a truly ingenious way of lighting up, long before electricity? ✨
Every evening, Milan would witness a tiny spectacle high above, among glass, iron, and wonder. A curious little invention turned the simple act of switching on the lights into a moment everyone stopped to watch.

They called it “el Rattin” 🐭
And for a few years, it became one of the most surprising symbols of modern Milan.

At Via Ausonio 3, Milan hides one of those quiet Liberty surprises.

The building is not open to the public, but sometimes a kind porter may let you step inside for a quick look one of those small Milanese gifts that make the city feel unexpectedly personal.

This little three-story palazzina is a refined mix of iron, ceramic, marble, and stone. Nothing too loud, nothing too theatrical just beauty woven naturally into everyday life.

That is Milan at her best: discreet, elegant, and full of details waiting behind a door. ✨

Palazzo Biscari is one of Catania’s most beautiful hidden treasures.

Built after the earthquake of 1693 for the Princes of Biscari, it is a jewel of Sicilian Baroque: frescoes, gilded details, sweeping staircases, and a ballroom that still feels ready for music.

Goethe himself visited the palace during his Italian journey, drawn by the culture and beauty of Sicily.

In a city known for its lava stone, markets, and vibrant energy, Palazzo Biscari reveals another side of Catania elegant, aristocratic, and wonderfully unexpected. ✨

On May 16–17, Lake Como welcomes one of its most elegant traditions: the Concorso d’Eleganza at Villa d’Este.

For a few days, vintage cars, historic charm, and the beauty of the lake come together in one extraordinary setting.

Because on Lake Como, even a car event feels like a scene from a film. ✨

Every May, Noto becomes a garden made of art. 🌸

For the 2026 Infiorata, Via Nicolaci will be covered with more than 700 square meters of flowers, designed by master flower artists from Italy and beyond.

This year’s theme, “Pop Culture Tells Its Story,” will bring a playful dialogue between Sicilian Baroque beauty and icons of music, fashion, and contemporary art.

A fleeting masterpiece of petals, color, and fragrance, made to be admired slowly, before it disappears.

Milan has a thousand faces.
Modern, elegant, irreverent, silent.
A city of design and hidden courtyards, fashion and old cafés, bold architecture and unexpected corners of calm.
Milan moves quickly, but she never gives herself away too easily.

The Internazionali di Tennis in Rome have just come to an end, after days of great matches in one of the most beautiful sporting settings in the world.

At the Foro Italico, tennis is surrounded by marble statues, Roman architecture, umbrella pines, and the golden light of the Eternal City.

There is something uniquely Italian about it: sport, elegance, history, and a little theatre, all in the same place.

Rome, as always, knows how to make even a tennis match feel unforgettable. 🎾

Sicily is not a place one simply visits. It is a place that unfolds slowly: Palermo’s lively elegance, the ancient beauty of the Valley of the Temples, the quiet magic of Ortigia, Taormina between sea and sky, and the unforgettable landscape of Mount Etna.

With Giovanna, Sicily becomes what it has always been: a crossroads of cultures, flavors, stories, and beauty.

A journey to feel, not just to see.

May in Italy is not only a season. It is a brief invitation.

In Florence, the Iris Garden opens for only a few weeks each year, just below Piazzale Michelangelo, in honor of the flower that has long symbolized the city. In Rome, the Rose Garden blooms with extraordinary varieties from around the world.

These are the places Giovanna loves most in spring not only beautiful, but fleeting. The kind of beauty that asks you to slow down, look closely, and arrive at just the right moment. 🌸

Inside Rome, there is a monument that does not whisper it stands in full grandeur.
The Vittoriano, dedicated to Victor Emmanuel II, is one of the city’s most striking landmarks: white marble, immense columns, sweeping staircases, and views that remind you just how layered Rome truly is.

A place where light, scale, and history all seem to meet at once.
