Dolce & Gabbana exhibition in Rome: Love letter to Italian culture
Whether exploring references to Italian opera, folklore, architecture, or traditional theatre, one theme remains central: exceptional craftsmanship.'I feel like I learned not only about different techniques, but also about Italian culture and the various cities in Italy,' one visitor said.
'My personal style doesn't align with Dolce & Gabbana's,' added another, 'but I was surprised by how emotional I felt visiting the exhibition today. What we see here isn't the work of machines, but of human hands.'
Throughout the exhibition, there are strong references to Sicily - the birthplace of Domenico Dolce and a constant source of inspiration for the brand - as well as to other iconic places.
A guest from Naples told Euronews: 'I think it's a representation of Italy. When you look at the pieces, you see the country. I really liked how it highlights Sicily and Sardinia, but also other parts of Italy. I even spotted Naples, where I'm from. And seeing a painting of Sophia Loren - that was truly beautiful.'
The Rome edition of the exhibition features three new rooms, including one dedicated entirely to Italian cinema. More than just fashion, From the Heart to the Hands is a celebration of the people, places, and passion behind Italy's enduring cultural legacy - as seen through the lens of two of its most influential fashion designers.

Retro 90s raves inspire new Pretty Green x Kappa collection launch
British menswear brand Pretty Green and Italian sportswear brand Kappa have launched their first collaboration with a limited-edition capsule collection.

The seven-piece capsule features a hooded jacket, two retro-inspired football tops, a tracksuit (top and bottoms), bucket hat and even a co-branded football. All styles feature dual branding, pairing Kappa's Omini logo, tape arm detailing with Pretty Green's psychedelic icon, accompanied by three stars 'taking direct inspiration' from the 97-99 Manchester City football kits.

Canaletto masterpiece sells for record €37.8m at Christie's London
A work depicting Venice by 18th-century Italian painter Canaletto has set a new auction record for the artist, selling for £27.5m (€32.6m) - or £31.9m (€37.8m) with fees - at Christie's in London. Titled Venice, the Return of the Bucintoro on Ascension Day (c.1732) and once owned by Britain's first prime minister Robert Walpole, the work exceeded its estimate of $20m. Measuring 86 x 138cm, it's the largest major Canaletto to hit the market in two decades and was bought by a phone bidder via Christie's director Alice de Roquemaurel. The painting was last sold at auction in 1993 for 66m French francs (£7.5m/€12.2m), setting a record in France. Its companion piece sold at Sotheby's in 2005 for £18.6m (€22m), the previous record for a Canaletto. Check out the video above for footage and interviews.
