My mother, Jacqueline Greaves, is Jamaican, and my father is Italian. We went from how multicultural Italy is and how it is connected to America in many ways, and we decided to tell stories. Cultures, backgrounds and diversity are the key.

It also gave Rome new appeal, thanks also to its fashion houses and artisanry, and not least for the contributions of the Bulgari jewelers. Starting in the 1950s the Eternal City returned to being the cradle of art and history, but also the center of glamour—a resource for at least the next forty years.
