Starhotels Presents Its Patronage Project Promoting Italian Craftsmanship Press Release Starhotels presents its patronage project promoting Italian craftsmanship Milan, 5 November 2019. La Grande Bellezza - The Dream Factory has been launched: the new contemporary patronage campaign by Starhotels is committed to preserving and promoting Italy’s extraordinary creativity and talent. Vaunting the full support of the group’s president Elisabetta Fabri, the project relies on two leading institutions whose mission is to safeguard top Italian craftsmanship, Associazione OMA – Osservatorio dei Mestieri d’Arte, Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d’Arte, as well as publishing company Gruppo Editoriale. Starhotels strives to provide a platform and concrete opportunities to Italian craftspeople and companies, spreading the word in terms of PR, communication and visibility while also generating orders and creating work, passing on the art of patronage that has always preserved and enabled Italian artisanship to flourish for centuries. The programme envisages three activity areas in the next two years: ● Creating Starhotels branded product ranges curated by Art Director and designer Sara Ricciardi and crafted by various leading craft companies and artisans; ● Involving skilled artisans in renovating the brand’s hotels; ● Organizing events, exhibitions, workshops and meetings at Starhotels. The project also involves a thematic award given to talented Italian artisans at a ceremony scheduled for September 2020 at the Venice showcase HOMO FABER. The themes of the contest, which will be held every two years, will always be chosen from the hospitality sector and will refer to the hotel environment and specific design categories (lighting, interior decor, furniture and fittings, etc.). The first edition will focus on the theme “A source of light”: candidates are asked to present their original arts and crafts inspired by light. The La Grande Bellezza project, in its sequence of activities, supports a sector that represents an extraordinary fount of expertise, beauty and knowledge that flows throughout Italy, making the country unique internationally. The Dream Factory is not only a cultural and artistic initiative, but a productive project since the knowledge behind our artisanship underpins the finest Italian products. This patrimony is not sufficiently well known, valued and protected since Italian craftspeople lack opportunities to be seen in the utmost settings and there is a shortage of cross-generational knowledge sharing. The project was presented to the press, dignitaries and the world of art and culture on Monday 4 November during a special event held at Rosa Grand Milano - Starhotels Collezione in Milan. Ettore Mocchetti, architect and editor of AD, was the guest moderator, a lifelong connoisseur of design, outstanding craftsmanship and Italian lifestyle. The event was the occasion for the official signing of the partnership agreement between Starhotels and the project partners, symbolically signed with a pen from the "La Grande Bellezza Gemstones" collection created by Pineider, a historic name of Italian excellence. Sara Ricciardi, an emerging talent in contemporary design with a penchant for craftsmanship, was in attendance as the project’s art director. Her striking installation developed with master artisans Venini and Bianco Bianchi was on display at the event and an extraordinary five-metre-tall wrought iron tree, known as Arbor Vitae, made by the famous Fucina di Efesto completes the exhibition on at the Rosa Grand until 31 January 2020. “As an entrepreneur in the hospitality sector that thrives thanks to Italian craftsmanship, I feel the need the support little-known artisans who are essential in creating our ‘Great Beauty’ through opportunities and promotional activities,” commented Elisabetta Fabri, President of Starhotels, who was recently awarded with the Italian Order of Merit for Labour. “At our hotels, guests will have the opportunity to discover, appreciate and even purchase a range of leading contemporary Italian art, craft and design artefacts that have been crafted purposely for Starhotels. Our hotels are becoming ambassadors of Italian lifestyle not only in food and wine but also in providing a platform for the creative expertise of our master craftspeople through direct use of arts and crafts.” #LaGrandeBellezzabyStarhotels Starhotels Starhotels, a private, Italian hotel company operating in the upscale and upper scale & luxury sectors, is a market leader in the hospitality industry.

  • Hotel D'inghilterra Roma
    HOTEL D’INGHILTERRA ROMA – STARHOTELS COLLEZIONE The most iconic hotel in Rome, preferred by the international jet-set. An impressive legacy dating back to the 16th Century Few locations in Rome can boast a history as prestigious as that of the Hotel d’Inghilterra Roma - Starhotels Collezione. It is beloved for its magnificent location, compelling history, eclectic originality and the effortless elegance with which it welcomes its elite clientele. The building dates back to the mid-sixteenth century when it was used as an aristocratic residence for visitors of Palazzo Torlonia, located across the street. By the 15th century the local area was renowned for hosting the city’s best hotels and attracted foreign visitors and international communities. The nearby luxury shopping street Via Borgognona owes its name to the group of merchants from the region of Burgundy, who populated the district since the early 1400s. In 1845, Palazzo Torlonia’s guesthouse was converted into a hotel known, due to its popularity with British visitors, as Hotel d’Angleterre. One of the hotel’s most famous residents was the English Romantic poet John Keats who spent time in the hotel during the last years of his tragically short life, together with his fellow countrymen Byron and Shelley. Even the hotel’s logo, inspired by the coat-of-arms of the British Royal Family, is a testament to the deep- seated, centuries-old link that the hotel has had with Britain and the Windsors. From the outset, the hotel has been frequented by aristocrats and celebrities, with the roll call of illustrious guests spanning from Franz Liszt and Hans Christian Andersen to Mark Twain and Henry James.
