Sofia. In a nod to the artist’s own Venetian heritage, Sofia celebrates all-things Italian – and what better figurehead than the glamorous Sophia Loren? Nestled amongst colourful flowers and bunches of juicy grapes, an open fridge represents the importance of food in Italian culture, a Corinthian column recalls Roman grandeur, and a fragment from a Renaissance fresco pays homage to the work of the Italian masters. A little Loren can be seen, lounging on the hood of her favourite car, the Mercedes Gullwing, while gemstones and golden trinkets capture her extravagant love of jewels. A voluptuous headdress celebrating one of the sexiest stars of her time – and still making films in her 80s. Mamma mia!
