You were now at an age where you could afford things that were unthinkable 30 years ago. It was to be a reunion with many old friends from the past. From the finca you had rented near the beach on the coast of Calabria, a few snippets of music drifted...

The new line of Sorcinelli fragrances, consisting of 8 different scents with lavishly large blessing hands as bottle caps. For some, quirky; for others, fascinating in design, ranging from tasteless to stylish. Here, everyone will have a subjective...
