They say that when in Rome do as the Romans do. Pignatelli, a leading member of Rome’s midcentury glitterati, makes the case that one should do as the Romans do even when not in Rome. In this jet set beauty book, she mixes her own advice with that of friends such as Marella Agnelli, Valentino, Sophia Loren, Consuelo Crispi, Talitha Getty, Emilio Pucci, and Princess Ira von Furstenberg. In addition to the expected chapters on plastic surgery, diet, make-up, and fashion, there is one on how astrology can be utilized to improve one’s appearance.
“There is no chic, no polish, no glamour without organization.”
--Princess Luciana Pignatelli
