La
Repubblica – Rome – August 14, 1996
Where even the beautiful Naomi foraged
to the samba rhythm
Giorgio Armani got out of the shop with six ancient silver plated egg-holders and some candles
for an on-board dinner, Gianni Mazza,
a famous Italian music master, goes there to listen to argentinian
tangos and brazilian sambas, while looking
to ancient nautical maps. The broken necklace of the show-woman
Barbara D’Urso ends-up there to be restored, at “Taba”, half workshop half emporium, which carries the style
of the colonial curiosities anglo-saxon
shop to the heart of the Borbonian Island
of Ponza. Christian De Sica,
Vittorio’s son, bought some tie-holders
from the 20’s and Gigi Proietti,
a famous roman actor, chose a compass and two hand sawn bags.
She, Paola Ciuffo, holds Argentina in her heart, and her
partner, Carlo Alberto Allevato, is
Argentinian (by now Italian for his
love for Ponza): “Caroline of Monaco, bought some little ceramic turtles
for her daughters” they recall “Naomi Campbell drifted
for half an hour between our vintage dresses. She ran away to
stop the crowd who was about to destroy the shop”. Further more:
“Valentino came with his court of models and bought them
several straw and fabric bags, Sabina Guzzanti,
a famous Italian show-woman, picked up a turquoise pareo
and Eva Robin, the most famous Italian drag queen, chose
a dress from the 70’s.
