Pasta is fashion!
Pasta is one of the pillars of the truest and most traditional Italian cuisine. But this important culinary pearl has found slowly place, with the passing of the years, even among the artistic muse of fashion.

The sicilian artist Alessandro Enriquez drew inspiration from the shape of the fusilli to decorate armchairs and bags, and recalls the flavors and fragrances clothing lines are dedicated. Already by the time the pulp was the subject of interest and study by Giulietto Giugiaro and exhibitions in famous museums.
As a result of a project between her fashion, food and design has created five models of bags and an armchair made with patches of skin to graphic pattern of food, then the first collection with a mesh and leather armchairs inlaid with various pasta formats.

Pasta becomes too, as we have already seen in the previous paragraph, also synonymous of clothing and in fact it is not a case that also big brands of clothing such as Dolce&Gabbana derive inspiration for the new line for Spring/Summer 2017: clothes that tell of a long and passionate Italian history, with elements typical gastronomic and not where the paste becomes an element from which it is impossible not to draw inspiration when it comes to Italian tradition
Spaghetti, Farfalle, Conchiglie, fusilli, orecchiette peddle together with ephemeral frames of clothes or swing free in the air as pendants elegant.
Pasta at home!
Pasta becomes also furniture for the home! Chairs made tortellino, sofas that recall the rigatoni, calendars that support with the reproductions of spaghetti giants; these are only some of the creations of two great designers like Francesco Barbi and Guido rubbing strake. You cannot renounce the opportunity to have a comfortable environment and appearance “tasty” and “Italian”!
But remember: the best pasta is that one we eat!
And Naturally…. Bottega Torciano’s!

Luciana Cilemmi
Luciana Cilemmi, deals with Magazine, Style Director and Co-founder of Tenuta Torciano winery and Tenute Giachi wines and the innovative Viviarium Restaurant of Bottega Torciano- Tenuta Torciano & Winery is part of an international reality that is born in Italy by an initiative of Pierluigi Giachi and Luciana Cilemmi, who have worked for years in the Italian wine market , expanding throughout in the United States, managed and controlled by the american company ' Bellavini winery. Luciana Cilemmi was born in San Gimignano to a family of artists specialised in the restoration of medieval buildings. Having completed her technical studies, she now pursues the interests passed on to her by her family, like her passion for artistic objects, in particular works of art created in Tuscany between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. But she reserves her keenest enthusiasm for the historic works completed in San Gimignano between 1100 and 1300. Alongside her love of medieval history, she is fascinated in wines produced from Tuscan vineyards, which, together with saffron and wool, were the most sought-after goods traded by the wealthy noble families of San Gimignano already in medieval times. Luciana Cilemmi left San Gimignano at the age of 21 and embarked on a pilgrimage in search of knowledge and to discover the new winemaking skills and products that were then developing both in Italy and in France. In the meantime she added to her knowledge of wine by attending specialised courses and becoming a master of wine. On returning to Siena, she discovered a wonderful area near Murlo where she fell in love with the tiny, unspoilt village of Montepescini. She bought the estate of Montepescini where, based on the experience she had acquired over the years, she found a particular lie of the land, special climatic conditions and an altitude suited to the creation of great wines. With enormous enthusiasm, doggedness and considerable effort, a reclamation programme was started to renew the terrain which was then used to plant 30 hectares of specialised vines. Sangiovese is the dominant vine, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Years of experimentation and the introduction of new winemaking techniques eventually led to the creation of Luciana di Memmi’s prestigious wines. Some years ago, Luciana Cilemmi succeeded in realising her dream of a lifetime: to return to her home town, San Gimignano. She was destined to buy the historic palace with the medieval tower, which had been owned by the prestigious Useppi family from 1200 to 1927 and had then passed to the noble and historic Chigi family of Siena. The Useppi were a powerful Sienese family who owned several castles. This beautiful medieval building has an elegant and distinctive façade full of Sienese and Pisan architectural influences. If you find yourself in San Gimignano, make sure you visit the Chigi Tower and Palace. Luciana Cilemmi holds regular events in the rooms of the medieval tower, such as the presentation of wines, both from her vineyards and elsewhere, attended by international journalists, experts from the sector and critics. She also organises exhibitions of works of art and paintings, and press conferences on the subject of "Wine in San Gimignano during medieval times”. Visiting the home of Luciana Cilemmi is like re-living an aspect of the past that will not return except through the imagination of those who have believed and continue to believe in this story.
