FONTANA SCARF
CARTE SERIES
Swords, cups, coins and clubs - these are the traditional suits of Italian playing cards. They evoke the magic of long winter afternoons spent with grandparents. A deck of cards and endless challenges to another hand next to the cosy hearth. Playing cards, entertainment for the masses par excellence, are strongly linked to folklore and tradition in Italy. Bergamo, Bologna, Treviso and Naples, the list is long: each area of the country has its own version of the suits. Forty rectangles, each with its own image, that can mean defeat or victory. This is where we took inspiration for our "Carte" (cards) series of scarves.
FONTANA
Inspired by the suit of Cups in playing cards from Bergamo. The ace of cups, on cards from Trentino and Brescia as well, features a fountain shape and is inspired by the emblem of the Sforza family.
FONTANA is a product in 100% silk twill, made and packaged in Italy.
