Via Altaguardia: A Hidden Treasure to Discover

On Sunday, October 5th, I will be taking part with great enthusiasm in “Via Altaguardia: A Hidden Treasure to Discover.”

I chose to join because I deeply believe in initiatives that bring together sustainability, the protection of neighbourhood life, community, and conviviality.

My work looks out to the world, but I never forget that every project needs strong roots: supporting the local social fabric, encouraging exchange between generations, and nurturing a living sense of belonging.

This vision will guide my workshop “The Perfect Bride and Guest” (4–6 PM at The Wedding Lab), where I’ll be joined by remarkable guests who embody artistry, beauty, and elegance.

Meet Our Guests

We will be joined by:

  • Sfumature di Cipria – Floral Creativity
    Designers of poetic floral compositions that bring artistry, colour, and emotion to every occasion.
  • Anisha Chenet – Makeup Artist
    A beauty professional dedicated to enhancing natural radiance with timeless, elegant artistry.
  • MO Eventi – Wedding Planning
    Specialists in curating unforgettable weddings and celebrations with precision, creativity, and care.
