La Dolce Vita comes to life at Italian Republic Day Festival The 2025 Italian Republic Day Festival took place on Sunday, June 1, at the Italian Club Pretoria, drawing thousands of attendees to a day-long celebration of Italian culture, food, and design. Now a regular fixture on the city's cultural calendar, the event once again provided a broad showcase of Italian heritage, featuring culinary offerings, classic cars, and contemporary design. Over 20 Italian food vendors, including restaurants from Pretoria, served a range of traditional dishes such as pasta, pizza, antipasti, and regional desserts. Italian wine, beer, and the ever-popular Aperol Spritz were also available. A major drawcard was the display of Italian vehicles, featuring brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Ducati, Vespa, and Abarth. Beyond food and cars, more than 40 stalls featured Italian lifestyle goods, including leather accessories, clothing, and home products. Live Italian music played throughout the day, contributing to the festive atmosphere. One of the more interactive features of the festival was the pasta-making station, hosted by the Italian Cultural Institute and the Prue Leith Culinary Institute. Visitors could try their hand at shaping traditional regional pastas and take part in the Pasta Challenge, which was popular across all age groups. The event succeeded in bringing together food, design, automotive culture and community, offering a brief but comprehensive celebration of Italy's national day.

East Hampton's LDV at the Maidstone hotel debuts luxe brand partnerships
Last summer, the 150-year-old Maidstone Hotel, located on Main Street in East Hampton, reopened its doors under the leadership of LDV Hospitality, the group behind NYC's Scarpetta restaurant and famed for its Italian luxury. The hotel, since renamed LDV at the Maidstone, introduced a daily aperitivo hour in the garden and rebooted the elegant restaurant to serve scrumptious Italian pastas. This summer, the Maidstone is bringing even more European elegance to East Hampton courtesy of new partnerships with Sézane, the French fashion brand, and Ginori 1735, a luxury Italian dinnerware company. 3 LDV at the Maidstone hotel will host a Sézane fashion pop-up in its back garden this summer. Letizia Cigliutti 'We want to bring this La Dolce Vita lifestyle to the Hamptons,' John Meadow, the founder and president of LDV Hospitality, tells Alexa. Sézane is setting up a pop-up shop in the hotel's back garden, behind the hedges, from June 20 to July 27. Visitors will be able to order a spritz or glass of fine Italian wine at the bar and shop a unique summer capsule collection (including the famous Justine basket bag) along with limited-edition items. 3 The hotel's recently updated restaurant will serve food on Ginori 1735's elegant Oriente Italiano plates. GLEN ALLSOP 'We went with them because they're young, fresh, fun, playful, whimsical,' explains Meadow. Hotel guests will also be surprised by Sézane products in their rooms. In addition, the hotel will be decked out with objects crafted by Ginori 1735, which is known for its colorful porcelain table settings and home decor. 'It's like Bergdorf-caliber, fancy China,' notes Meadow. Chef Jorge Espinoza, who runs the restaurant, has already been serving his famous spaghetti alla nerano on Ginori 1735's Oriente Italiano plates. This summer all food — both indoor and outdoor — will be served on the brand's tableware. 3 A scrumptions meal from the Maidstone. GLEN ALLSOP The company is also creating printed pillows, umbrellas and throws for the garden and setting up a pop-up shop in the hotel lobby for guests coveting the latest Ginori 1735 collection. 'I watched all last summer as guests would sit there and look at the bottom of the plates to see who made them,' recalls Meadow. 'Why not be able to allow them to bring those home, right?'
