Favorite restaurant and what to order?
Piperno a Roma. I order carciofi fritti and carbonara.
Your favorite italian weekend getaway?
Bolsena, a mystical place, set on the eastern shore of lake Bolsena. Gigetto is my favourite restaurant there, right on the beach, the perfect spot to have a wonderful meal on a full moon night. From Bolsena I also highly recommend to take a day trip to Bormazo gardens and loose your self inside “Il Parco dei Mostri.”
Who’s your inspiration / favorite italian designer (or artist, architect, painter, photographer) ?
My inspiration mainly comes from the Italian renaissance painters such as Piero della Francesca and Beato Angelico. I also take a lot of inspirations from movies as well, Wong kar-wai and Bernardo Bertulucci definitely teased my curiosity into China.
How would you describe Italy in one sentence?
Chaotic beauty.
