Men’s style, Italian style
The ancient Italian art of looking sharp can be yours with this new half-day outing for men!
‘Bella Figura‘, literally ‘beautiful figure’, is the Italian philosophy of giving a good impression: of one’s character, comportment and appearance. In Italy, men enjoy dressing finely and presenting themselves well as much as women. But Italian style can be a novelty to some.
The perfect gift, you’ll walk away with all the tools and knowledge for a complete makeover. We’ll visit a watchmaker, tailor, and shoemaker so you’ve got the contacts and can make appointments without pressure for restyling your wardrobe. Men’s style will have a new meaning as you unfold the enigma with the authenticity of ‘Made in Italy’ elegance.
What’s more, a visit to the best barber in town means you can reconsider your grooming routine, learn how the Italians style their hair, and if it’s for you – understand how best to wear your moustache!
But your tastebuds won’t be feeling left out – we’ve got tastings lined up for you at a great enoteca. ‘Enoteca’ literally means ‘wine collection’. It is used for wine shops that put together a high quality selection of wine to set standards and values.
If you’ve ever felt out of your depth when it comes to wine-tasting, or want to deepen your understanding of Italian wines, you’ll now be able to speak with confidence. You’ll get a sensory guide through the key Italian varieties, by grape and region.
