10 Villas To Live Your Italian Summer The ultimate experience of the Mediterranean summer

Only a few weeks ago, Chanel unveiled the digital campaign for the Cruise 2021 collection: Balade en Méditerranée, a video shot in Capri (where it should have been hosted the show) that is a celebration of the iconic Mediterranean summer. Started a few years ago now with the famous Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue tv spot starring David Gandy, the Mediterranean aesthetic is back in the fashion world, thanks to many other brands as Bottega Veneta and Jacquemus. While in Italy there is still much talk about the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the typical Italian summer, between beach umbrellas at a safe distance, lifeguards in television and Italian cities empty of tourists, one thing is for sure: this will be the perfect summer to re-discover the beauty of the Bel Paese. From Puglia's masseria to the farmhouses in Tuscany's countryside, going through the magic atmospheres of Sicily and Sardinia, Italy really is the most beautiful country in the world.
