Opera takes center stage. A black velvet gown softened by gold embellishments captures the drama of Bellini's Norma, while a romantic blue dress for Verdi's La Traviata flows like an aria, its tulle layers whispering love and loss. Meanwhile, icons of the brand, such as Sophia Loren and Naomi Campbell, are immortalized in giant paintings. Classical Italian opera and traditional Sicilian folk melodies provide the soundtrack, adding layers of drama.
