History of the collection

The Bella Ciao collection is dedicated to the mondine, seasonal workers who came to work in the rice fields of Piedmont from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century to pull out weeds and prick the rice. For nearly a century, thousands of Italian women spent several months of the year hunched over doing difficult, intense, and poorly paid work.

Their famous pre-feminist and pre-revolutionary songs inspired masterpieces of Italian neorealist cinema, and their demands transformed the Italian historical landscape.

Bright shades, wild flowers and the insolence of angry youth: the Bella Ciao collection is designed to be colorful, and pays tribute to several generations of women who fought for their rights.

The Maxi square Ardente is inspired by the celebrations at the end of the rice-picking season, often marked with a summer ball. Dressed in beautiful garment, unapologetically proud, the mondine hold centre stage as they make their way to the final event of the season, waving goodbye to the muddy waters… till next year.

Wildflowers, bursting from the frame, bring volume and softness to this light material. The abundance of pearls befits the vibrant sequins and printed embroidery of the pattern. A warm and chaotic display, reminiscent of an ochre and warm June afternoon.

What makes the Maxi square Ardente unique : the delicacy of the embroideries combined with the great lightness of this extraordinary piece.
