Inside Malù dalla Piccola's suitcase

 

Your favorite destination?

Capalbio, in southern Tuscany.

 

 

Your must-visit restaurant there?

There are several… I really love “ai Caprai,” a magical place amid the hills, and “La Macchia” or “la dogana” for a more chic atmosphere by the sea.

 

 

The place you absolutely have to visit?

Niki de Saint Phalle's Tarot Garden for an esoteric stroll through a garden of monumental sculptures!

 

 

Your favorite museum?

I love the Galleria Nazionale, the modern art museum in Rome, right opposite the Villa Borghese gardens. They have an absolutely extraordinary collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations from the major artistic movements of the past two centuries, from Neoclassicism to Impressionism, from Divisionism to the historical avant-gardes of the early 1900s, from Futurism to Surrealism, and my favorites: Italian art from the 1920s to the 1940s and the Roman School.

 

 

Your favorite artist and the work that inspires or moves you?

It's so difficult for me to choose just one artist; there are so many who inspire me. An artist who has deeply impressed me recently is Maria Lai. She made a simple thread the instrument of her poetics. Her series of sewn books is my favorite. The work that has moved me most overall is “La vecchia” by Giorgione, which is in the “Gallerie dell’Accademia” in Venice.

 

 

A memory that reminds you of this destination?

The gnocchi at Sant Irma restaurant in Capalbio. That's where my passion for gnocchi began; I love cooking, and it has become my signature dish:)

 

The Tressé outfits you take with you?

A very difficult choice… I'd love to take the entire latest suitcase with me! I especially love the Cilia shirt with the Panta trousers in all their versions. I think it's a perfect outfit that can be worn casually or elegantly with the right accessories! I also really love the blue Salan jumpsuit, perfect for the coming season.
