Capuano, a treasure in Rome

If you choose to become a client of www.grandtourshopping.com, I will take you to discover Capuano. An elegant atelier for jewels, precious objects and silver. I will introduce you to Sergio Capuano, an engineer with artistic sensibilities and his son Federico. The Capuano family started in Naples a long time ago. They are internationally known also for their relationship with Pietro Capuano, dandy and jewelrer in Capri, knicknamed Chantecler. In Rome their story started with Peppino and Vincenzo who opened an atelier in 1960. Few years ago Capuano Atelier designed for me a lovely ring that I wear often. Here below few examples of their new collection. My clients always appreciate the quality of the craftmanship. The atelier is in via Condotti 61/a inside Palazzo Caffarelli. 

ITALIAN GLAMOUR IN RIO DE JANEIRO

Enrico Quinto and Paolo Tinarelli are two great collectors of haute couture and pret-à-porter. In Rome they also run a great flea market called "Rigattieri per Hobby", every sunday, in piazza della Marina where I take my clients from www.grandtourshopping.com. They have been invited in Rio de Janeiro. Their exhibition called "Italian Glamour" is in the Cidades Das Artes and  will run until the July 6th. You will be able to admire 130 dresses from Emilio Pucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Valentino, Gattinoni. A big part is also dedicated to Armani, Versace, Krizia, Dolce &Gabbana, Alberta Ferretti and Prada. If you are in Brazil, don't miss it.

Rome has a new department store COIN EXCELSIOR

In Via Cola di Rienzo 173,  after three monthes of renovation, Rome has a great new spot for shopping: Coin Excelsior. Three floors for men and women. On the main floor Tiffany and, as expected, all the beauty department with Chanel and Dior. On the upper levels fashion with brands for men and women such as Armani Collezioni, Lacoste, Joseph, Pinko, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Valentino Red, Joseph (actually very difficult to find in Rome) Patrizia Pepe, Paul Smith and many others. In the basement the food department with the best olive oil in Italy called Manni, cheese, fish, meats, bread and vegetables. It is open every day. A really good place for shopping in Rome.
