Simonetta: Italian's Fashion First Lady. Catalogo Della Mostra (Firenze, 9 Gennaio-17 Febbraio 2008). Ediz. Illustrata
Simonetta, a living legend as beautiful as any of her models, is an aristocrat by birth and has spent her youth amidst the international celebrities for whom she designed her sophisticated clothes; among them: Lauren Bacall, Dorothy McGuire, and Silvana Mangano. From the forties to the seventies, from the Rome atelier in her family's Palazzo to her Paris boutique on Rue Francois, the innovative lines of her daring creative fashion had a deep effect on the taste of the tight circle of aristocrats she was part of as well as on the lifestyles of consumers in the great international market.

The Mystery of Simonetta
The world of Renaissance Florence comes alive in this work about Simonetta Vespucci--the woman chosen to portray the springtime Botticelli's La Primavera and the goddess of love in his Birth of Venus. She was the great muse of the Renaissance, whose beauty inspired painters, poets, and philosophers. Though she became immortal through art and lived on in the city's memory, she died at the tender age of 22 under obscure circumstances. Part historical fiction and part mystery, this work journeys through time, this work delves into Italian mood and culture at the height of the Renaissance.

Simonetta
Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci. In der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. April 1476 starb sie in Florenz, knapp dreiundzwanzigjährig. Eine heimtückische Krankheit raffte die schönste Frau der damals bekannten Erde dahin und hinterließ Trauer, Unverständnis und Verzweiflung. Kurz zuvor noch war sie die Königin an Giuliano de'Medicis Turnier gewesen, die bewunderte Geliebte des Bruders von Lorenzo de'Medici. Die Person der Simonetta war die Grundlage für einen kollektiven Rausch. Sie war ein Star, weltberühmt und jung verstorben, ein Objekt der gemeinsamen Sehnsucht einer Generation, verklärt durch die bekanntesten Maler und Poeten der Zeit. Sie war ein Bild für Männerphantasien, ein Pin Up-Gi...

The Marchesa
From the award-winning and internationally acclaimed author of The Almond Picker comes this sumptuous family saga set in nineteenth-century Sicily. Costanza Safamita is the beloved daughter of the Baron Domenico Safamita: Red-haired, gawky, and shy, she is considered an outsider by many on her family's estate. But when her adoring father makes her the sole heir to the Safamita fortune, she finds herself plunged into the glittering world of Palermo society, and into the arms of a depraved husband. As Costanza endures the travails of her marriage, she must also fight to preserve the family's household and way of life against the tide of revolution and change. Set against the fall of the Bourbon monarchy, and the rise of the mafia, The Marchesa is a scintillating family drama, and a masterly fresco of a now vanished world.
Simonetta Perkins
Considered by Hartley to be the most accomplished of his works, Simonetta Perkins is a brilliantly observed tale of desire and guilt. Set against a glorious Venetian backdrop, it explores the nature of physical temptation, creating a complex psychological work deeply reminiscent of Henry James. Visiting Venice with her mother, Bostonian ingénue Lavinia Johnstone soon tires of their fellow American tourists and her mother’s unstinting attempts to find her a husband. Increasingly, she withdraws into herself, her diary being the only outlet for her deep-seated frustrations. And it is in her diary that she begins to explore the extraordinary sensations that she experiences when her gaze falls on an extremely attractive Venetian gondolier. L.P. Hartley, a proliflc story writer and novelist, is best remembered for his masterpiece The Go-Between.
Sandro and Simonetta
A fictional account of the life of Botticelli. Against the teeming background of 15th-century Florence, with its narrow streets and open spaces, its palaces and slums, its loyalties and intrigues, this story recreates the love affair between Boticelli and Simonetta Vespucci.
