(Portofino, Remo Cremona) – I spent a few hours in Portofino today, in this veiled Sunday of the first major summer heat. The arrival was not problematic, no traffic, no lock after Covo of Nord Est. Obviously in scooter. Reason was strictly personal, nothing to do with Portofino World Site.
On the coast more or less up to Paraggi, there were several boats under five meters long and anchored to the sun tan. All off instead, one of the most beautiful boats we have on our list on Vogue Yachts, the Illusion III, a splendid 166 feet, now in the bay of Portofino, to continue the cruise tomorrow to Ponza.
We can’t say more regarding the guests on board.
Along the road there are establishments after Covo providing input costs without the possibility of renting deck chairs and umbrellas. There are several Paraggi up to where you need to pay an entrance fee.
If you have opportunity and scooter – no parking – you can swim in a small beach at 100 meters after Paraggi. It ‘very suggestive established between the vegetation. It ‘very small. It is located under the road about 15 meters. You can admire a view of Portofino and its bay here.
In my own small way I have seen water in a wooden boat marine fenders with rope in ecru as the beds. Certainly the work of some shipwright. I was reminded Brigitte Bardot in the port of Saint Tropez surrounded by a lightning photographers of the’60s.
In Piazzetta there were many people and it was very hot as ever. Council to the ladies but always on the shoulders Golfino after 19.00. Sometimes there is moisture. I paused to see the windows of Emilio Pucci in Rome, always full of colors, especially yellow, green, bluette, the fuchsia that reigns in its fine fabrics that have always characterized this house since the time of the Doney Via Veneto in Rome, talk of the’50s, where the ladies became queen to be admired throughout the evening.
Colors always loved the Marquis Pucci – founder of the house of fashion – and now again taken from her daughter. Packed the beautiful, now rounds so fashionable, very high, perhaps a heel 14, but not glaring in line with ribbons colors that bind the ankle. Short dresses just above the knee, games necklines on the breast with soft fabrics that draw forever. Even short. Courts the right. In Emilio Pucci always see the merging of colors, which reminds me so much Master Yves Saint Laurent and a bit of madness and originality, qualities always linked instead to our Gianni Versace.
I also read the boutique Dior at the end of Via Roma on the right, where the white king, almost ecru, mixed with silver in a minimalist style furniture has always eye of the French maison. My favorite corner of Piazzetta remains, however, always created from Loro Piana, on the left, where a small gazebo worked with iron hand and cushions give you the feeling of being in a living room with a vision that relaxes you.
At about 18:30 we began to see the first ladies ready for dinner. Via Roma knew of Chanel No. 5. The youngest in short dresses with high heels and handbags Griffe, wide belts at the waist and silver earrings. Very often in black total look. Large dark glasses on the face such as fashion.
There was also the return of boat trips. Short dresses linen or cotton, with unpacks on the flanks, always white, colored leather belts to line the sides. At times even Trousers wide at the bottom. Many many short and jeans rolled above the knee, low on the sides with leather belts also wide left, just as details of the whole.
I suggest at least a pareo above the bikini for a return to the hotel.
Before returning, I greeted the friends of the restaurant “Da U Batti”, ready to serve their mysterious recipe for scampi you pass every year. As usual the tables were trimmed of tovaglioni, baby style, which is knotted at the neck for eating more relaxed without sketches, strictly with their hands.
I have not done in time to taste the mustard onions with wine moved to a sitting meters from the sea as usual from winter. The Molo found on the left in the fund after the boutique of Mariella Burani.
To the next.
Portofino World, a world apart.
