Valentino 45


Exactly one year ago, i visited the exhibition called Valentino 45 about the forty-five year of his carrier. This took place in the Ara pacis near river Tevere in Rome. There were a lot of original dress made by Valentino to the most famous actress as Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez e many more.....
The space was divided in four parts: the color one(my prefer), the red one, the white one, and the black one.
The exhibition was very interesting(i like fashion) but I originally went there to see the Ara pacis. This roman's costruction is beautiful but i think that the Richard Mejer's cover isn't the right solution to protect it. There are a lot of white color (the monument same color), a lot of white light , a lot of windows and this create confusion.

Non ho ancora avuto modo di visitare la "nuova" Ara Pacis. So che ha suscitato molte polemiche quella copertura.

PS
grazie di cuore per reiterati i complimenti
