Veronica Etro
What s your connection to Naples?
‘My great-grandfather was Neapolitan so I feel partially rooted here, but what appeals to me most is the authenticity. Everything here is unique – the food, the people, the places, the traditions – it’s a world of its own. When I think of the area, I recall the sorbet hues, the blue horizon between sea and sky, the positivity and the relaxed attitude: things that have been a big influence on my work.’
