Italy has many registers. This journey moves through three of its most indelible: the high glamour of Milan Fashion Week, the precision and speed of Italian automotive mastery, and the quiet, storied abundance of Emilia-Romagna. Together, they make for four nights that feel like a complete immersion in everything Italy does best.
You'll arrive in Milan for one of the most coveted events on the international calendar: the Giorgio Armani Women's Fashion Show. Your home base is the Armani Hotel Milano, a 1937 palazzo where the maestro's signature aesthetic runs through every detail, and a personal Lifestyle Manager tends to your every need. You'll get a prime seat at the fashion show, where the new collection is unveiled before an audience of editors, celebrities, and cultural luminaries.
A private tour of Armani/Silos offers a rare look inside the creative archive, home to more than forty years of Armani's most significant designs. You'll dine at Nobu Milano, the Bamboo Bar, and Emporio Armani Caffè, each one a different expression of the city's elegance.
From Milan, you travel to Modena. You’ll visit the Maserati headquarters, and get a rare look behind the marque's storied engineering, followed by an exclusive test drive experience with a professional driver. It's a chance to feel, firsthand, what generations of Italian craftsmanship have built toward.
Modena is also where Luciano Pavarotti was born, raised, and is remembered. A private visit to his house and museum — preserved exactly as he left it — holds costumes, awards, and a lifetime of memorabilia honoring one of opera's greatest careers. You’ll also enjoy a refined dinner celebrating the traditions of Emilia-Romagna.
A bespoke Giorgio Armani shopping experience in San Francisco, with personalized styling, completes this extraordinary package.
