Now we have to admit we didn’t know Fiat had a flagship store in London.
But we do know a little about Franciacorta wine.
So, to kill two birds with one stone (perhaps not the right expression here), it was a pleasure to learn that the launch of new Fiat 500 model was being toasted with glasses of Franciacorta de La Montina a week or so ago.
For the day, the flagship store was also turned into an exhibition of works by Franco Brescianini, famous for his elegant feminine figurines.
The event was supported by the Francesca Fiumano Fine Art Gallery with the patronage of the Art Department of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in London.
The Fiat 500 Convertible was the star of the show however.
To close, an auction of a special edition of a silver decorated magnum bottle of Franciacorta by Franco Brescianini, and a weekend for two at the boutique 947 Hotel, in Venice.
