A terracotta building breaks the Amalfi’s piercing blue sky and everlasting sea. We’ve reached the Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, and she is one of a kind. Coastal sun illuminates hand painted ceilings brimming with cherubs and marble busts wrapped in seaside florals, while table settings dot the terrace for one to contemplate by sunrise and raise a glass by sunset. Views of Mount Vesuvius, Capri within a breath, regal ambience and love all around.

Here, in Italy, I am vibrant and boundless. No plans, just possibilities. Every wrong turn is a detour in the right direction and every misstep is just more magic waiting to happen.

In the backstreets of Rome, I scribble love notes to myself and the world on cobblestones and napkins. I unfurl beneath painted ceilings, flanked by flocks of doting cherubs. In Milan, I dance to street musicians playing my song and play the muse for poets and artists.

My hair curls and crinkles fresh out of the Amalfi every morning. I leap from too-high rocks into the endless ocean and charm my way onto the backseat of a stranger’s vespa. From Ravello to Positano, to Capri and to Sorrento. An infinite loop of summer sensations.

CARING FOR YOUR CAMILLA

• As each piece is embellished with hand-applied crystals, we recommend you clean your CAMILLA through any good green dry cleaner across the country to reduce any cleaning-associated chemical footprint.
• Alternatively, we recommend a refreshing spray specific to silk products, or through gently handwashing with cold water at your own discretion.
• When dry cleaning your CAMILLA please take it to a trusted, specialty dry cleaner.
• Our garments are very delicate and must be cleaned in the appropriate solvent; please ensure your dry cleaner uses Hydrocarbon or Green Earth products, with strict limitations on amount of water, reduced chemical action and low drying temp.
• As some Camilla garments are enriched with embellishments, we recommend no heat on the beading/embellishments.

My Italy, Amore Mio.
