176. Columbus Day – That Boy from Puccini Square…

Roberto Cavalli with Robin Cavalli176. Columbus Day – That Boy from Puccini Square…

The Italians of America chose me to represent Italy on the 59th Columbus Day – the celebrations which mark the occasion of the anniversary of the discovery of America by a famous Italian, Christopher Columbus.

I was very proud to be recognized in this way and to represent Italy at this event!

The president of “Italians in America,” explained how the day would unfold.  I will be the Grand Marshal with the band across my chest and the conductor of the big parade to take place on Fifth Avenue.

The big day begins with a solemn Mass celebrated by the Bishop of New York in the Cathedral of Saint Peter on Fifth Avenue.  Eva and my children are close to me and there is so much emotion in all of us.  I feel really important, the large band with the inscription Grand Marshal makes me very proud!

The parade starts … my car, a vintage Ferrari convertible opens the parade… I’m standing and I want Robin, the youngest of my children, next to me.  Along the way there is a great crowd of Italians who applaud from behind the barricades that mark the parade route.  I reach to greet all and reciprocate their enthusiasm… they call my name… Roberto… Roberto… I really do not know which way to turn… Robin has fun and I enjoy living this feeling with him.

Behind us, there are big floats from all regions of Italy… decorated with many flowers… with speakers to broadcast the music… many troupes of skilled flag-wavers from the Calcio Storico Fiorentino.

Once in front of the cathedral my car stops and the Cardinal walks down the steps, approaching us and giving us the blessing.

We resume the parade.  On arrival there is a big musical band along with New York Mayor Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton who greet me with all the honors.

A great day… great emotions… wow… that kid from Puccini Square in Florence had become Grand Marshal in New York!  Who could ever have imagined such a thing…

Un bacino…

I LOVE YOU
Roberto Cavalli


Roberto Cavalli - 59th Columbus DayRoberto Cavalli with Robin Cavalli176. Columbus Day – Quel Ragazzo di Piazza Puccini…

Gli Italiani d’America mi hanno scelto in rappresentanza dell’Italia per il 59mo Columbus Day, le celebrazioni in occasione della ricorrenza della scoperta dell’America da parte di un famoso italiano, Cristoforo Colombo.

Ero molto fiero di questa riconoscenza e di rappresentare l’Italia a questo evento!

Il presidente dell’associazione “Italiani d’America” mi spiegò come si sarebbe svolta la giornata. Ricoprivo il ruolo di Gran Marshal con tanto di fascia e avrei dovuto essere il conduttore della grande parata che si sarebbe svolta sulla Quinta strada.

La gran giornata inizia con una messa solenne celebrata dal vescovo di New York nella cattedrale di Saint Peter sulla Quinta strada. Eva e i miei figli, mi sono vicini e in tutti noi c’è tanta commozione. Mi sento veramente importante, la grande fascia con la scritta Gran Marshal mi da un aspetto molto fiero!

La parata inizia… la mia auto, una Ferrari d’epoca scoperta, apre la sfilata… sono in piedi e accanto a me ho voluto Robin, il più giovane dei miei figli. Lungo tutto il tragitto, una gran folla di italiani applaude da dietro le transenne che delimitano il percorso del corteo. Mi sbraccio per salutare tutti e contraccambiare la simpatia… mi chiamano per nome… Roberto… Roberto… non so da che parte girarmi… Robin si diverte e mi piace vivere questa emozione insieme a lui.

Dietro a noi, i grandi carri di tutte le regioni d’Italia… addobbati con tanti fiori… con gli altoparlanti che diffondevano musica… fanno parte del corteo anche gli sbandieratori del Calcio Storico Fiorentino.

Giunti di fronte alla cattedrale la mia auto si ferma e il cardinale scende le grandi scale e si avvicina dandoci la benedizione.

Riprendiamo la parata, all’arrivo ci attende una grande banda musicale con il sindaco di New York Bloomberg e Hillary Clinton che mi ricevono con tutti gli onori.

Una gran giornata… grandi emozioni… caspita… quel ragazzino di Piazza Puccini era diventato Gran Marshal a New York! Chi se lo poteva immaginare…

Un bacino…

I LOVE YOU

175. A Tuscan in America…

Definitely, my confidence is higher in America than in Italy… I know it is absurd.  Perhaps it is because English is not my mother tongue and so I can get away with everything!

I have participated in many shows in America.   One of my fondest memories is of  “AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL” with Tyra Banks, in addition to the special memory of her beauty… unique… indescribable!

It was fun, Tyra paid ​​me many compliments…
She liked to play with my deep voice and told me that I had given a different “tone” to her Show…

The director asked me if I would host a TV show of my own in the future!  I cannot forget the cover of the New York Times, a whole page with my photo!

The next morning I was awakened by a thousand phone calls congratulating me!  Unfortunately my joy and fame lasted only a few hours because the next day there was the attack on the twin towers. It was September 9, 2001.

America began to love me!  Linking my colorful and positive character to the positivity of my collections.

The Italians of America chose me to represent Italy on the celebrations of Columbus Day…

I’ll tell you the rest of this story tomorrow…

Un grande abbraccio…

I LOVE YOU
Roberto Cavalli

175. Un Toscano in America…

Decisamente la mia sicurezza è superiore in America che in Italia… assurdo, forse perché in una lingua che non è la mia tutto mi è scusato !

Ho partecipato a tanti show americani, quello che ricordo con maggiore simpatia fu “AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL” di Tyra Banks, oltre al ricordo speciale per la sua bellezza … unica… indescrivibile!

Fu divertentissimo, Tyra mi fece mille complimenti…
Si divertiva a giocare con la mia voce e mi diceva che avevo dato un tono differente al suo show…

La regista mi chiese se avrei accettato in futuro di presentare un programma tutto mio! Non posso dimenticare la copertina del New York Time, una pagina intera con la mia foto!

La mattina seguente fui svegliato da mille telefonate di congratulazioni! Purtroppo la mia gioia e fama durarono poche ore poiché il giorno dopo ci fu l’attacco alle torri gemelle. Era il 9 settembre 2001.

L’America incominciò ad amarmi! Collegavano il mio carattere colorato e positivo alla positività delle mie collezioni.

Gli Italiani d’America mi scelsero in rappresentanza dell’Italia il giorno del Columbus Day…

Ma il resto ve lo racconterò domani…

Un grande abbraccio…

I LOVE YOU
Roberto Cavalli

Just Cavalli Spring/Summer 2013 Advertising Campaign

The new Just Cavalli Spring/Summer 2013 advertising campaign evokes the life, the colours and the richness of the sea, combined with the atmosphere and light of the most beautiful Mediterranean coasts.
Aline Weber, Emily Di Donato, Ginta La Pina, Chris Bunn, Chris Petersen and Thomas Guarracino are the protagonists of the fascinating and exciting images, where glamour and seduction are linked to contemporary youthfulness.
The creative evolution of the brand, which draws inspiration from the new generation, is a reference point for all young people who want to live their everyday life with sensuality and passion.
Giampaolo Sgura shot the images in the beautiful island of Ibiza, famous for its entertainment and the beauty of its wild nature, and is among the favourite destinations for the stylish young generations who love to savour every moment of their life intensely and surprisingly.
The golden beaches and crystal waters represented the ideal background for a group of young men and women who interpreted the sense of freedom of the Just Cavalli Spring/Summer 2013 collection in a natural and confident manor.
The creative suggestions are inspired by Roberto Cavalli’s personal photographs: animal prints combined with floral designs or prints featuring nature and marine life become the undisputed protagonists of this collection for men and women.
