the designer's bosiness, the t men built the
house ofValenrino, Rome's most iconic and endur

the company in 208, but their fJmously IU:urious lifestyle-what
Giammeni Olis "theValentino way of Ii f"-has not diminished.
ForGiammeni that has meant, in pan, a retreat toothercitie,.

he has created an art-flled penthouse atop an cast-side tower
