THE HISTORY OF CITIES
The journey through style and passion, art and culture continues with a project that seamlessly unites the creative philosophy of Fumagalli 1981 with its exquisite creations. A meticulous exploration of ancient texts has unearthed the stories and roots of cities, reviving a dialogue between the profound traditions of ancient and modern cultures. Through the products of Fumagalli 1891, which are not typically associated with cultural narratives, a unique and captivating story comes to life. It is through an accessory that elegantly envelops us that the idea of imprinting and conveying the history and symbolic significance of enchanting cities was born. This highly refined collection includes large scarves, stoles, and foulards characterized by harmonious and sophisticated colors. Each piece does more than merely illustrate the world’s most renowned cities; it provides an immersive experience that bridges past and present. Capturing the beauty and majesty of a tangible world becomes a singular experience, encapsulated in these fine creations.
Milan: A History of Elegance, Art and Innovation

Como: A Story of Elegance, Nature and Tradition
Make your heart like a lake. With a calm and quiet surface. A calm depth of kindness - Lao Tzu
Foulards
View allEach silk scarf is adorned with an image that precisely captures the most exquisite characteristic of each city, such as New York, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Milan, and other enchanting historic Italian cities, including Florence, Venice, Rome, Capri, Como, and Cortina. Adding to the charm and engagement is a small panel narrating the history of each location, with a delicate definition highlighting its essence. For example, New York is described as follows: “It was too much to believe it was real; so intricate, immense, unfathomable. And so beautiful, seen from afar: canyons of shadow and light, bursts of sunshine on glass façades, and the pink twilight crowning the skyscrapers like shadows without a backdrop draped over powerful abysses” (Jack Kerouac). Milan is brought to life with the words, “On all these evenings, around one in the morning, I went to see the Milan Cathedral again. This church, illuminated by a beautiful moon, offers a sight of extraordinary beauty, unique in the world. Architecture has never inspired such feelings in me” (Stendhal).
Venice: A Story of Magic, Art and Timeless Reflections
'There is nothing that has struck me in my life like Venice. It is the wonder of the world. A damned ancient dream place, stupendous, immaterial, impossible, perverse, unreal. I arrived there in the evening, and the feeling of that evening and the bright following morning is now part of me for the rest of my existence."
Capri: An Island of Dreams, Colours and Mediterranean Charm
The island holds the soul in its centre like a coin that time and wind cleaned leaving it pure as an intact, rustic almond cut into sapphire skin - Pablo Neruda

Walking through Rome is like leafing through a living history book. The Colosseum, majestic and imposing, is a symbol of strength and spectacle, while the Roman Forum reveals the secrets of an ancient civilisation. The Trevi Fountain, with its sparkling water and Baroque elegance, is an invitation to dream, and St. Peter's Dome, dominating the sky, is a masterpiece of faith and architecture. Every square, from Piazza Navona to Campo de' Fiori, is a stage for life, art and culture.
