ARIA D'ITALIA

Contemporary Italian Lifestyle

Aria d'Italia


CONTEMPORARY ITALIAN LIFESTYLE

Aria d'Italia is a Tod's project celebrating contemporary Italian lifestyle and its inherent values: talent and passion for quality in every aspect of life, from fine dining to art, from the joy of sharing to cherishing traditions. Through eight key words, a series of personal and professional stories are told; artists, entrepreneurs, craftsmen each in their way representing the essence of the Italian identity. Chapter after chapter, Aria d'Italia becomes an illustrated journey, the feeling of a new generation, brimming with creativity, able to reinvent our country's heritage through entrepreneurial and unconventional artistic ideas.

Photographer: Guido Taroni
Stylist: Micaela Sessa

In September 2022, Aria d'Italia's words and images will come together in a book published in collaboration with Rizzoli International.
