...Do as the Romans do.' As cliché as it is - I love that quote!
The weather was beautiful, the food amazing, and the memories fabulous. It's about time I posted a few of my favourite pics from my visit and share my experience with you all.
Love.

La Sorelle Fontana Foundation. We were shown the designs and garments from three sisters who were the top dress makers of the 1950s. During their heyday they were known in America as the 'Three fountains of Rome'. |

The "Pretino" dress was originally worn by Ava Gardner in the style of a Roman Catholic Priest made up of black silk and wool. It was a rather controversial dress to make at the time but she was graciously granted permission by the Catholic Church and created an authentic design. Film director, Federico Fellino loved it and asked the Fontana sisters to make one for Anita Ekberg to wear in his film, 'La Dolce Vita' in 1960. |
