« Italian Connections »
paris – turin – milan – venice – stresa – cremona – bologna – paris
Wednesday April 8 - Tuesday April 21, 2020
This tour is offered for 3250 € per person, based on double occupancy and half board. We offer a very limited number of single occupancy spots for 3950 € per person.
In Paris, we will focus on prominent Haute Couture icons such as Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin, by visiting their individual museums, we will have a private collector’s gathering at the ancient brothel “Les Belles Poules” and we will enjoy a very French “Art Nouveau” dinner at famous Bouillon Jullien. Turin will be our next stop, reached by train. This aristocratic city has lots of treasures to unveil, such as Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Reale, as well as several antique shops. This is the city where Lenci was active, a topic that will be discussed during a program followed by a typical Piedmont meal. The following day, we will attend a major flea market called Gran Balùn, before we catch a train to Milano. In the Lombardia capital we will visit the legendary Duomo, adjacent Galleria and La Scala theater. Of course, a visit to Vinci’s “Last Supper” will top our stay, after visiting a few antique dealers. The private collection of Vincenza Bortoletti Fedele will delight you in Vittorio Veneto, that we will reach by private bus the next day. This collector « extraordinaire » spans her interest in dolls from 19th century French bisque headed examples to fine German characters, to pristine Lenci beauties, to Italian Bonomi fashion dolls from the 50’s, and Furga’s 4S “Alta Moda” fashion mannequins from the 60s. From our hotel in Treviso, where we will stay two nights, we will travel for a full day in Venice, to admire its palaces, San Marco Basilica, Ca’ Rezzonico museum and the mythical Caffé Florian. How about experiencing the highness of the Borromeo Islands next? We will be visiting the famed Rocca d’Angera, where the biggest European dolls and automaton collection is on display. We will then ride a private boat to get to luscious gardens, puppet theatre collection and outstanding Grand Hotel in Stresa, where a Gala Dinner will be served in a refined 19th century atmosphere. Time to reach Cremona. This antique opulent city, Mecca to violin crafters, organizes « Un milione di Giocattoli », the biggest Italian toy show. The spring edition will be our final doll shopping opportunity before we head to our next destinations, which will include three smaller doll and toy museums: the Paolo Franzini Tibaldeo collection in Santo Stefano in Lodigiano, the “Paese delle bambole” museum in Santa Giuletta and the Furga company doll and toy collection in Canneto sull’Oglio. Finally, Bologna will welcome our group with the fabulous Marie-Paule Védrine doll collection displayed in the antique Palazzo Felicini, in the heart of the city. Time to drive to the airport, aiming to catch a flight to Paris, where our tour will come to an end. Arrivederci a presto!
