Podcast appearances and mentions of Gina Lollobrigida

*Accadde il 29 marzo* Il 29 marzo 1946 è una data storica per l'Italia e il mondo intero, poiché Piaggio ha presentato la prima Vespa, un simbolo di stile e innovazione che ha rivoluzionato la mobilità urbana. Inizialmente pensata per rispondere alle esigenze di trasporto post-belliche, la Vespa è diventata un'icona culturale e un emblema dell'Italia nel mondo. Parlare di questo evento mi fornisce l'occasione perfetta per esplorare anche alcuni aspetti linguistici legati a questa pietra miliare della storia italiana. Quando parliamo di una VESPA non parliamo dell'insetto dall'aspetto simile all'ape (tra l'altro la stessa Piaggio ha lanciato anche l'ape, ma ne parleremo un'altra volta) ma parliamo di un motociclo. Un motorino, si dice oggi informalmente, nel senso che le moto di piccola cilindrata si chiamano normalmente così: motorini. Tra l'altro esiste anche il cosiddetto "vespone", che ha una cilindrata più grande,pari a 125 cc, e non 50 cc come la

Federico Vitella"Maggiorate"Divismo e celebrità nella nuova ItaliaMarsilio Editoriwww.marsilioeditori.itLa fortunata espressione “maggiorata”, coniata dallo sceneggiatore Continenza sul cantiere di Altri tempi (1952), uscì subito dal film di Blasetti per attaccarsi a Gina Lollobrigida. E da Gina Lollobrigida, nel discorso giornalistico come nella riflessione storiografica, finì presto per designare una batteria di attrici di successo, accomunata dalla non comune carica sessuale: Silvana Mangano, Silvana Pampanini, Sophia Loren su tutte.Le maggiorate erano contese dai principali produttori di Cinecittà, riempivano le sale di ogni ordine e grado, scatenavano inquietanti episodi di delirio collettivo, facevano notizia su quotidiani e rotocalchi, prestavano i connotati a icastici marchi del made in Italy, inauguravano festival ed eventi esclusivi, visitavano ufficialmente le autorità di mezzo mondo. Le maggiorate erano famose, erano celebrità, erano persone pubbliche. Erano dive. La loro salienza andava ben oltre il personaggio, il film, il cinema, per incarnare più generalmente forme di vita seducenti e modi di essere replicabili della nuova Italia repubblicana.Mescolando fonti e metodologie di ricerca, al divismo delle maggiorate questo libro intende dare la massima rilevanza quale agente di storia: fatto sociale capace di modificare prassi lavorative, creare forme della rappresentazione, veicolare discorsi di genere, mobilitare su larga scala desideri, aspirazioni, preoccupazioni. Nel momento in cui si paventa la morte della settima arte, l'immagine transmediale di Lollobrigida, Loren, Mangano e Pampanini ci riporta a quell'età dell'oro in cui il cinema stava nel pieno centro dell'industria culturale, e da lì si estendeva in tutte le direzioni possibili, offrendo generosamente miti, riti, beni che facevano da collante sentimentale al Paese.Federico Vitella(1977) è professore ordinario presso l'Università di Messina. Si occupa di storia del cinema italiano, con particolare attenzione per le culture della produzione, la genetica del film d'autore e i fenomeni divistici degli anni centrali del Novecento. La sua ultima monografia, premio Limina 2019 per la saggistica di area mediologica, è L'età dello schermo panoramico. Il cinema italiano e la rivoluzione widescreen (ETS 2018). Per Marsilio, ha scritto Il montaggio nella storia del cinema (2009), ha curato con Federico Pierotti il volume collettaneo Il cinema dello sguardo (2019), e ha realizzato l'edizione critica della commedia di Michelangelo Antonioni ed Elio Bartolini Scandali segreti (2012).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Carmen Sevilla encandiló con su carisma a los más grandes del cine italiano e incluso tomó el relevo de Gina Lollobrigida y Sophia Loren en una famosísima saga cinematográfica… pero también se las vio con la censura y sufrió de lo lindo en el rodaje de una coproducción hispano-italiana en el que pasó de todo. El retrosalseo completo (y todas las imágenes) en el libro “Tarantela sevillana”.

„Oděv vznikl proto, aby zakryl určité části těla tak, aby byly zvýrazněny,“ řekla hvězda italského filmu Gina Lollobrigida. Narodila se jako Luigiana Lollobrigida 4. července 1927 v osm hodin ráno v malém italském městečku Subiaco jako druhá ze čtyř dcer výrobce nábytku. Po rodičích získala talent k výtvarnému umění a krásný hlas předurčený k opernímu zpěvu. Chtěla se proto stát zpěvačkou nebo malířkou. Jednu z jejich kreseb otiskl i časopis Mickey Mouse.

Italia: Paese conosciuto in tutto il mondo per cibo, arte, cultura, storia, paesaggi, ma anche per la moda e il cosiddetto “Made in Italy”, che affonda le sue radici negli anni Cinquanta. Ovviamente, una storia così lunga non poteva non avere intriganti curiosità... che scoprirai continuando a leggere! Il Made in Italy: segreti, sorprese e tragedie 1. Com'è nato il mito della Moda Italiana? Il mito della moda italiana risale a una sfilata organizzata il 12 febbraio 1951 dal marchese Giovanni Battista Giorgini nella sua residenza fiorentina, che prende il nome di “First Italian High Fashion Show” . Dieci stilisti italiani presentarono i loro modelli e l'evento fu un tale successo da essere descritto come una bomba che avrebbe scosso i saloni dell'alta moda parigina e minacciato il loro monopolio. Parigi fino a quel momento era infatti considerata l'unica capitale della moda, senza alcun rivale che potesse tenerle testa. 2. Il segreto del successo In che modo però l'Italia è riuscita ad arrivare ai livelli della competizione con la moda francese? Semplice: adottando una filosofia opposta alla sua! L'obiettivo di Giorgini era creare un mercato di vestiti più moderni e allo stesso tempo meno sofisticati, che avessero prezzi più accessibili a tutti. 3. Italia e celebrità Un grande aiuto per promuovere e rendere più popolare la moda del Bel Paese è stato fornito da grandi icone del cinema, tanto italiane quanto straniere. In primis, le italiane Sophia Loren e Gina Lollobrigida, ammirate anche all'estero, poi anche le famosissime Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor e Marylin Monroe. Quando loro hanno cominciato a indossare il Made in Italy, in tanti hanno deciso di copiare i loro look e il loro stile, che subito sono stati associati a classe, eleganza, raffinatezza, qualità. 4. Tessuto elasticizzato Uno dei motivi per cui la moda italiana ha riscosso così tanto successo sono state senza dubbio le innovazioni introdotte dai grandi stilisti italiani. Riuscireste ad immaginare la vostra vita senza vestiti elasticizzati? Fino agli anni ‘60 non esistevano tessuti elasticizzati, i primi campioni furono creati da Elio Fiorucci, che mise insieme l'appena inventata Lycra al denim, dando vita ai jeans elasticizzati. Non solo una comodità, ma anche un aiuto ad esaltare il proprio fisico e le proprie curve. 5. Creazione della top model C'è differenza tra una semplice modella e una vera e propria top model. La modella si limita a sfilare, è un quadro bianco dove l'effettivo protagonista del ritratto è il capo di abbigliamento indossato. La top model invece è molto di più di una semplice indossatrice, è la musa che ispira lo stilista a creare l'abito perfetto per lei. Tra le più famose ricordiamo Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford e Carla Bruni. Vi sorprenderà scoprire che la figura della top model è stata inventata proprio da un italiano negli anni ‘90, il grandissimo Gianni Versace. 6. Caso Versace Proprio Gianni Versace, grande icona della moda italiana, ha fatto una fine tragica. Gianni Versace è stato assassinato davanti alla sua villa di Miami da un giovane di 23 anni, Andrew Cunanan, serial killer all'apice di un delirio omicida durato 90 giorni. La polizia ha inizialmente archiviato il caso come un suicidio e l'eredità del brand è passata alla sorella minore Donatella Versace. Se la vicenda vi incuriosisce, potete dare un'occhiata alla serie tv “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”, basata sugli eventi. 7. Caso Gucci Altro re della moda italiana la cui storia si conclude in cronaca nera è Maurizio Gucci. Lui è stato ucciso a Milano la mattina del 27 marzo 1995, per mano di un sicario. Ingaggiato da chi? Niente meno che dalla sua ex moglie Patrizia Reggiani, condannata a 29 anni di carcere insieme a complici ed esecutori nonostante non abbia mai confessato il suo ruolo nel delitto in tribunale.

Roy Harold Scherer Jr. was born smack dab in the middle of both the Roaring 20's and the country in Illinois, Thanksgiving of 1925. Of all the gay and bisexual actors and actresses we've covered, Hudson was easily the most elusive and convincing in his career long presentation as a very straight screen idol and leading man. While known to many in Hollywood circles, his private life only came to public light over three decades into his career, when he was one of the earliest celebrities to openly discuss his being stricken with AIDS. A naval veteran and strangely enough, a lifelong Republican and de facto Goldwater Girl (!) he pursued his dream of acting despite a pronounced and career long difficulty in remembering lines, being rejected from drama school and wasting no less than 38 takes to deliver a single line in his first onscreen role – a testament to his All American good looks and winning personality, to be sure. After being signed to Universal, he was cast in several forgettable and forgotten cheesy period westerns, pirate and supposed adventure films before landing industry attention with his Oscar for the execrable James Dean/Elizabeth Taylor melodrama Giant.  But it was with his oddly fortuitous pairing with Doris Day and neurotic comic relief sideman Tony Randall in a series of fluffy and decidedly conservative romantic comedies at the end of the 1950s that he truly attained marquee leading man status. Going on to star with Italian sex symbols Gina Lollobrigida and Claudia Cardinale, as well as other attempts to replicate the Hudson/Day formula with lesser lights like Leslie Caron and Paula Prentiss, Hudson began to tire of these sort of light comedy roles, moving to television for the highly enjoyable and well remembered McMillan and Wife alongside the equally loveable Susan Saint James and gay icon (and Rosie the paper towel lady!) Nancy Walker  for a several season, nigh-decade spanning run.   His latter roles tended towards the decidedly idiosyncratic: John  Frankenheimer's existential paranoia opus Seconds, Alastair MacLean's flawed if enjoyable Cold War spy film Ice Station Zebra, Roger Vadim's sexploitation slasher/comedy Pretty Maids All In a Row, entertaining disaster epic Avalanche and the pensive meditation of a miniseries that was The Martian Chronicles. So join us as we take on the All-American leading man who hid a surprising edge behind the surface veneer, the one and only Rock Hudson, only here on Weird Scenes!

President Biden forgets who he's supposed to be singing Happy Birthday to.

Italy's most wanted Mafia boss, Matteo Messina Denaro, has been arrested in Sicily after thirty years on the run. Over a hundred members of the security forces took part in his arrest at a private clinic in the city of Palermo. Messina Denaro has been sentenced in absentia to life in prison for his role in the murders of anti-mafia prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992. Also in the programme: German Defence Minister resigns; and Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida passes away.

Luigina Lollobrigida néven született a Golden Globe-díjas olasz színész, szobrász és fotóművész, akinek közismert beceneve Lollo, és aki 1950-es és 1960-as évek egyik legnépszerűbb filmcsillaga és szex-szimbóluma volt világszerte. Noha jellemábrázoló képességeit mindig elismerték a filmkritikusok, de az is vitathatatlan, hogy számos filmben elsősorban külseje miatt szerepeltették. Lollobrigida először 1972-ben a Magyar Televízió szilveszteri gálájának volt a vendége, de 21 évvel később Friderikusz Sándor meghívásának is szívesen tett eleget. A nem túl barátságos természetéről híres díva meghazudtolva a róla kialakult képet, készséggel válaszolt a műsorvezető legmerészebb kérdéseire is, sőt a találkozás végén még egy közös produkcióra is vállalkozott. „Az isteni Lollónak” is nevezett díva nyáron ünnepelte 95. születésnapját, és bár néhány hónapja combnyaktörést szenvedett, de ebből sikeresen felgyógyult. Egyetlen fiával sorozatosan pereskedik, mivel a fiú szerint anyja idős kora miatt már nincs ítélőképessége birtokában, nem is egy fiatal férfit fogadott a bizalmába, akik aztán kiforgatták a vagyonából. Azonban a filmcsillag ma is annyira aktívnak érzi magát, hogy a legutóbbi szeptemberi olasz választásokon képviselőjelöltként akart indulni az Italia Sovrana e Popolare nevű politikai szövetség támogatásával, de betegsége átírta a terveit, noha bízik benne, hogy még visszatérhet a szerepléshez.

Bei Gina Lollobrigida ging es immer mehr um ihre Figur als um ihr schauspielerisches Können. Sie war der Männer-Traum der 1950er Jahre, die Superdiva in einer Zeit, in der man weibliche Filmstars noch ganz unironisch "Kurvenwunder" nannte. Autorin: Christiane Kopka Von Christiane Kopka.

Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. Here at the Jewelry Journey, we're about all things jewelry. With that in mind, I wanted to let you know about an upcoming jewelry conference, which is “Beyond Boundaries: Jewelry of the Americas.” It's sponsored by the Association of the Study of Jewelry and Related Arts or, as it's otherwise known, ASJRA. The conference takes place virtually on Saturday and Sunday, May 21 and May 22, which is around the corner. For details on the program and the speakers, go to www.jewelryconference.com. Non-members are welcome. I have to say that I've attended this conference for several years, and it's one of my favorite conferences. It's a real treat to be able to sit in your pajamas or in comfies in your living room and listen to some extraordinary speakers. So, check it out. Register at www.jewelryconference.com. See you there.   This is the second part of a two-part episode. Today, my guest is Daniela Mascetti, a well-known name in the high-end world of jewelry and auctions. She spent four decades at Sotheby's and holds the position of Senior Specialist Worldwide. She's co-author with David Bennett of the bible for jewelry professionals, “Understanding Jewelry.” If you haven't heard part one, please go to TheJewelryJourney.com. Welcome back.    Flipping through the book—I tend to look at books starting from the back forward. There was a comment about jewelry being seen as art as well as jewelry more recently. I wish I'd written down the comment, but it intrigued me because it was a comment about art jewelry. I tend to think of that as something with no gems, but more with plastic or wood or whatever.   Daniela: What I think we wanted to say is that when we started in the jewelry field—I started in 1980, David in 1974 or 1975, I think—jewels were just seen as extremely valuable items. They were available to display gems. I remember vividly, in the early 1980s, beautiful Art Déco cloche brooches set with diamonds being bought by members of the trade that used to deal in diamonds. These beautiful Art Déco pieces were going to be dismantled just for their intrinsic content. That was 1985, 1986, 1989.    Then gradually the general public started to look at jewels as a form of art. As you buy a painting, as you buy a sculpture, as you buy a lovely piece of ceramic, the public started to look at buying jewels for their artistic value rather than just for the intrinsic value. When I started, the composition of the showroom at Sotheby's—if I was a Christie's, I would have had exactly the same situation—was entirely made up of members of the trade. Perhaps one private buyer, two at most. Nowadays—or at least for a moment when I stopped working back in 2019—it was a 50/50 split, so a great amount of private people buying for the pleasure of acquiring an item that was unique for its sole artistic value.   Sharon: What do you think changed that people started seeing it as an artistic item?   Daniela: One thing that contributed was “Understanding Jewelry,” the bible as you say, which brought the history of jewelry design to a large public. They started to read the story, the history behind each piece of jewelry, and then a plethora of books started to be written on the subject of jewels. I remember when I started, there were probably 10 books dedicated to the history of jewelry design—forget about gemology and all that. Now, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of books on the subject. All these have contributed to persuade or open the public to the concept of jewels as a collectable field.    Of course, there is a very strong connection between the artistic weight and the intrinsic weight. It's always a combination of the two, but it is interesting to see how the public has started to appreciate jewels for their artistic value independently from the intrinsic value. There will always be the clients who go for the 16 carats, the flawless diamond as a status symbol, as a showoff, but more and more, the public is opening up to smaller items that can tell a story.   Sharon: Tell us about the business of UnderstandingJewelry.com, because there's so much. I know you're just starting out, but it's so much.   Daniela: It just started up. If you've read the book, “Understanding Jewelry,” the book keeps on growing. I thought we could have subscriptions so you can subscribe and get the book continuously bringing information to you, but then we thought, once we started a website, why don't we try to do more with it? Apart from the academic part of the website that is dedicated the book, we have several other offers. We have courses online done through Zoom. Call them courses, call them seminars. They are groups of lectures on different subjects. For the time being, we've done one on Art Déco that I think was well-received.    We are planning many more, but we're also concentrating on proper seminars on the field. The first will be in France, starting in Burgundy and ending up in Paris. It will be a combination of lectures and experiences. It will be lectures on jewels, experiences in Burgundy. There will be culinary experiences in restaurants and wine tastings, visiting wonderful chateaux, visiting historic places such as the Cluny Abbey. Then in Paris, we'll be visiting museums and some of the grand maisons of jewelry: Cartier, Boucheron, Chaumet, Melediaux. That is on the academic side. We also offer valuation and advisory services. Many of the clients from Sotheby's came back to us for advice to keep augmenting their collections or slim down the collection.    What else do we do? We are just about to launch what will be called Hidden Gems, a part of the website where we present jewels we have found in locations such as London, Geneva and New York to start with, and that perhaps the public at large would not find because they are not sitting in the windows of jewelers of the mainstream. They are little gems in the sense of jewelry, hidden treasurers in the sense that they are the perfect example of the kind of jewelry that's hard to find. It could be a perfect Art Déco double-clip brooch. It could be the perfect 19th century pendant sitting with a member of the trade that does not have a shop front. It will always be something we choose ourselves. We will not be persuaded to put something on our website if we do not believe it is worth being on the website. What I can say is that David and I are completely independent. We put together the website entirely by ourselves. We have no financial backing. So, we are in a very privileged position and we have the final say.   Sharon: That's nice to hear. It's a very nice website. I presumed that Sotheby's had given you some backing. I think it's a beautiful website. I'm sorry; go ahead.   Daniela: We will agree to endorse the best jewelry, and we can do it now in our position. We've clocked together about 95 years of experience in the jewelry field. We are not backed by anybody, so we can really say, “We think this is good.” Of course, it would be personal, and we can't really stop that.    Sharon: The Hidden Gems that you post, will they be for sale?   Daniela: They will be for sale, yes. Our function would be to put together the seller and the potential buyer, and then the bill will be done between the two of them. We will not be interfering with the estimate, the valuation, whatever. Of course, if we are asked, “Do you think this jewel is really worth the money?” within reasonable figures, we would say yes. If we do realize the wrong figure is being asked for that type of jewel, then that type of jewel will not be on our website anyway, because we will not set the price. The price will not be on our website, but we will know more or less what the asking figure is and whether we think it is reasonable. The end of the story is if you want something that is a very special example of something, you have to be prepared to pay the right amount of money.   Sharon: You mentioned something before; I'm always intrigued by the word collection and what a collector is, and the fact that people come to you and you advise them on building their collections. How do you advise on a collection? Do people come and say, “I have these three pieces. I have a ruby, an emerald and a sapphire ring. What do I need now?”   Daniela: It's very much a matter of listening to your client because they're all different. The beauty is that all the collections are different. There are no two collections that are exactly the same, because each collection is the reflection of the person who puts it together. Even more so if the collector is a woman because she would have been wearing those jewels. If the collection is really there, our function is to say, “Yes, perhaps you could sell that item that is not such a great example and buy something better in that field.” Maybe the collection is almost complete, and we can say, “Look, these are the little gaps we would fill if we were in your position.” Sometimes collections are always growing. We have collectors that want to slim down the collection to always keep it at its peak, and we have collectors that want to leave their collection as it is because it shows all the steps from the very beginning and the mistakes to give a better example later on. Again, there is no rule. You have to listen, figure out what the client is aiming at and then try to do your best and give the best advice.    Sharon: If somebody comes to you to advise them on their collection and there are gaps, do you help them source?   Daniela: Yes, we would try to help them source. We are in very good relationships with, I would say, every member of the trade, having been a dealer with them for so many years through the auction world. We are in good relationships with the auction houses, having had a fantastic career with them. So, we would know where to go to source the item. Of course, it would perhaps be easier to source something contemporary because we would know where to go. It would be harder to source for somebody who says, “Well, I'm looking for an Art Nouveau brooch in the design of a teacup, but I don't want Lalique. I'm aiming for something different.” That would be a bit more challenging, but perhaps that's where we find them something even more exciting.   Sharon: Do you only work with very wealthy people? The kinds of jewels you're mentioning are not the kind of jewels I'm going to be buying. Do you work with people at different levels?   Daniela: The idea is that we're open to all levels. What we're really looking to do is be approachable. Of course, I can't give advice on gathering a collection of tiny little silver rings because that wouldn't be economically viable, but we are not talking about millions. On our website, on Hidden Gems, there will be jewels valued at $8,000, $9,000, $10,000, so we're not looking only at the top end. We're looking at the top end of quality; that for sure we are aiming at.    Sharon: This is the question that doesn't have an answer, but I'm always interested in different opinions. What is a collection to you? If you're saying somebody has a collection, does that mean four pieces that tell a story, or is it just 20 pieces? What's a collection?   Daniela: That is a very good question and a very difficult one to answer, because everybody has a different idea of a collection. I think I hinted at this subject. To somebody, even to me, a perfect collection of gemstones could include a fantastic Burmese ruby, a Colombian Muzo emerald, a superb Kashmir sapphire. I would like to have a Burma sapphire and a Ceylon sapphire of the best quality, and then why not a diamond. Perhaps if they want to go into colored diamonds, we would have to stretch the prices, but a collection could be made of 10 beautiful gemstones. It doesn't need to be hundreds of items. We sold a few collections at auction that were made up of 20 items. It could be five good ruby sapphires, a diamond and a beautiful pearl, and you have a perfect collection of the most appreciated gems.    Then you can have collections of different periods. I've had a chance to handle beautiful period collections. There are even more collections focused on Lalique, and then collections such as the Bourbon-Parma than spans 250 years of production.   Sharon: Don't forget the tiny silver rings. I was going to say don't forget the collection of tiny silver rings, too.   Daniela: Absolutely.   Sharon: I have a million more questions. I don't want to keep you here all day, but let me ask you, when in your career did you decide to become a gemologist? I don't know what organizations you belong to.   Daniela: That was not a decision of mine. It was imposed by Sotheby's. By the time I started, gemology had become an essential part of our business. I remember all my mentors at Sotheby's, all my bosses, and none of them had a gemological degree. But the next generation, David and I, we had to do gemology. I remember one day at Sotheby's in Milan, I was told, “Daniela, you have to complete a gemology degree,” which I must admit I did not enjoy at all because at school, I was really bad at sciences, physics and mathematics.    Studying gemology for me has been a toil. It has been hard to go through and get my certificate, but it was a necessity. If you look at jewels, you have to be able to say, “Yes, I know what to do. I brought my loupe, and this is what I'm looking for.”   Sharon: You were in the auction business for 40 years. What kept you attractted and kept you going? What is the excitement of the auction world and jewelry?  What was it? What excited you?   Daniela: Why I stayed in jewels in the auction world is simply because only by working within the auction house, that sort of frame, do you have the chance to see the amount of objects I have seen. What is seen with the auction is just a fraction of what we see throughout the year, especially in London. It was a fantastic place because we had what we called counter service. People could just come off Bond Street with their little trinkets, knock on the door, and we had to go out to the counter and give evaluations. That was constant throughout the day.    Now, if you have a look at the amount of jewels if you work in a museum, even in the jewel-rich museums of the world such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, you have the collection; you have that number. If you work for a dealer, you have your stock. But we had access to the jewels of different clients, so many different collections. We may have never sold it, or we valued it and we never got it for sale because somebody else got it for sale, or we valued it because they simply wanted to know the weight of the collection.    I can't think of how many thousands of jewels I've seen in my life, the sheer number and the variety. You went from little jewels made of woven hair to 100-carat flawless diamonds, jewels of the Duchess of Windsor to the jewels of Gina Lollobrigida to the jewels of Maria Callas to the tiny, little diamond ring that had been sewn inside a teddy bear at the beginning of World War II and was rediscovered 40 years later by the granddaughter of the deceased person by breaking into this very old teddy. It's the sheer amount of variety and the variety of human stories behind these jewels.    Sharon: It must have been very, very attractive, I could understand how that's very compelling. Daniela, thank you so much for spending time with us today, telling us only part of your story. You've lived a really fantastic life, so thank you for being with us today.   Daniela: Sharon, thank you so much for having me. All the best to you and your team.   Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

She's co-author with David Bennett of the bible for jewelry professionals, “Understanding Jewelry.” Daniela and David also co-authored the recently published “Understanding Jewelry: The 20th Century.” With this publication, they've also launched a parallel business, Understanding Jewelry, which includes something for everyone in the jewelry profession, from novices to the most experienced practitioners. We'll hear more about Daniela's jewelry journey today, and I have to say it's an extraordinary journey. Daniela, welcome to the program.   Daniela: Thank you for having me, Sharon. It's very nice to see you today.   Sharon: Daniela, tell us about your jewelry journey. It was by happenstance that you got into jewelry, it seems.   Daniela: I'm afraid I'm not giving you the pleasure of hearing that I always played with jewels when I was a girl. I used to collect pebbles on the beach. I was very much a tomboy, and it was certainly not on my horizon in my youth. Actually, I studied classics. Then I got into archaeology, and I specialized in Greek and Roman archaeology at university. So, I sat on my career in a very academic way, and I was expecting to go on working in museums and once or twice a year have my dig in the southern part of Italy, which is so rich with treasures. Everything went all right until I realized that working in archaeology, you have to be able to cope with bureaucracy, and I was not very good at that.    I was then in my part-time job at university, a part-time job in a museum in Milan, thinking of something new and more exciting. I couldn't find anything, but I decided to take a sabbatical and improve my knowledge of the English language. I knew English well enough to be able to follow an art course in English rather than take a proper language course. Then I found out that, among the many courses, there was one run by one of the bigger English auction houses, Sotheby's in London, and I applied. I was accepted and I joined, and I had a most extraordinary, wonderful year of my life. I realized that art was something that had been created to be bought, sold and enjoyed, whereas the art I was dealing with in the museum was something so important you couldn't touch it. You couldn't really enjoy yourself as an individual. So, I spent a most beautiful year around silver, carpets, furniture, sculpture.    When I ended the course, I was ready to go back to the archaeological world, and then something happened out of the blue. I was asked to attend an interview at Sotheby's. I went to the interview. I was told—I'm Italian by birth and at the time I was living in Italy—that someone was hiring people for that expanding Italian adventure. I went to that interview with very little hope, but five minutes after chit chatting, I was told, “You have the job.” I said, “Fantastic! I'm so excited. Where and when?” And they said, “Well, we want you to start in about two months' time in Milan, and you have to start in the jewelry department.” My heart stopped beating and I said, “But do you realize I know nothing about jewels?” The person who was interviewing me said, “Well, do you think that's a problem? Can't you possibly learn?” And that was the stimulus. That encouraged me not only to learn about jewels today, but the history of jewelry and jewelry design. That allowed me, over the years, to put together my two passions, history and archaeology, and apply them to jewels. In a way, I like to be considered an archaeologist of the jewelry world.   Sharon: Was that your career trajectory? Did you then decide, “O.K., I'm going to stay with this”?   Daniela: Yes, it was a great challenge. This was always the backup to my archaeological background. I could always come back to that if this didn't work, but the year I spent at Sotheby's of London learning about the mechanism of the auction house really excited me. I said, “I think I can fit into this world much more than the completely academic world of a museum.” It was a perfect way of balancing academics and hands-on work with the object.   Sharon: So, you started your jewelry career as a paid professional in Milan with Sotheby's.   Daniela: Absolutely. I developed a very important art, at least the art of listening to your clients. At the beginning, I couldn't give any advice whatsoever, so I would say, “This is a very interesting piece and I really like it. Can I take a few Polaroids to send to the specialist in London to ask for advice? How did you get it? Was it in the family for a long time?” I tried to encourage the owner of the jewel to tell me information that I was then repackaging for the owner as an answer. “Oh yes, of course, it is Art Déco style,” and all that. So, at the beginning I was trying to work as a sort of mirror, but it taught me one important thing: never rush to your judgment and your comment. Always listen to other people, because you may be the most important, the most skilled specialist in your field, but it is always that little thing you do not know, and you can learn from somebody unique.    Do you want to know one of my major mistakes? I still blush when I think of it, but it's interesting. I was handling a piece of Lalique jewelry. I was a few years into my career in at Sotheby's. I looked at this lovely brooch and told the client, “It is really, really lovely, in pure omnibus style. It couldn't be more Lalique. You have the enamels. You have the lovely chasing. It's a perfect example, but it isn't signed.” I was looking at it very carefully, examining the back of the piece of jewelry, where in 99.9% of the cases, you have the signature of the artist. Then the client—a very nice, elegant, mature lady—told me, “My dear girl, perhaps if you turn the brooch over and you look at the front, you can see that the name of Lalique is stamped on the front.” I felt bad, embarrassed. In all careers, you have your mistakes, and you learn from your mistakes. That is one of my mantras: listen and learn from mistakes. Once you've made that mistake, you never repeat it. It's much better to make a mistake and learn from it than always stay in between the answers, just to not say something that is wrong.   Sharon: You have had so many successes that it's interesting to hear about one mistake. That applies to anything in terms of listening to the client. Listening applies to any field. One thing that kept occurring to me as I was reading about you and talking to you: do you think you would have been as intrigued or interested if Sotheby's had said, “We need somebody as a carpet specialist”?   Daniela: Perhaps not in the carpet section, but I could have been in the old masters department or the antiquities department, because in those days, even in London, Greek and Roman and Egyptian antiquities were being sold. In fact, when I was told I got the job, the first thing I thought was “They want to put me in the antiquities department.” The other departments I would have fit in, but not carpets, perhaps not silver, but certainly I would have in ceramics, old masters and antiquities.   Sharon: Did you ever think about going back to archaeology after you started your career in the auction world?   Daniela: I must say I was ready to leave it. There's a still passion. I still read about it. I still have very good friends that kept on in that field. We exchange ideas, but no, I thoroughly embraced jewels and I love it now to the very core.   Sharon: You've handled some extraordinary jewels. What would be the highlight? I was reading about everything you've done. What would be the highlight of the jewels you've looked at or been in charge of auctioning off?   Daniela: I am an object person, a jewelry person rather than a gem person. I'm not saying I do not like a fantastic ruby, but my instinct goes to an object that has been crafted and that perhaps has a history. At the beginning of my career—I started at Sotheby's in 1980—we had the fabulous sale of the jewels of the Duchess of Windsor in 1987. Many years later in 2018, towards the end of my 40 years at Sotheby's, we had another fantastic collection, the Bourbon-Parma jewels. Within these two collections are some of the jewels I will always remember.    Within the Duchess of Windsor collection, there are two items for two different reasons. One because of its beauty and the way it was absolutely perfectly crafted: the Panther Bracelet. So subtle, so realistic, so sensual. Once you had it on your wrist, you wanted to keep on stroking the panther as if it were your little kitten. You can feel it with your fingers, the bones under this wonderful pelt of sapphires and diamonds. One of the best, not only in my opinion, of all the great cats created by Cartier.   The other jewel that I think is an icon of the 20th century is the Flamingo Brooch by, again, Cartier and created in 1940. It's one of the jewels that, in my opinion, is a mark of the 20th century because, if you look at it, you can't really date it. It could be 1920s. It could be 1930s. It could be 1960s. It could have been made yesterday. It is so much of the 20th century all together. When I'm asked what the most iconic jewel of the 20th century is, I say definitely the Duchess of Windsor Flamingo Brooch.    When you come to the Bourbon-Parma collection, which we sold in 2018, obviously there was a jewel that was so poignant and so emotional, and that was the pearl that belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette of France. It was extraordinary, the handling of a jewel that had been created for a queen that became so famous for all the wrong reasons. That she lost her head as a consequence remained with the family for the next 200-odd years. Handling it was a really wow factor, but even more so, it was an amazing piece of jewelry that we valued at $1 to $2 million. It sold for, I think, $36 million. It was not the pearl for $36 million; it was the Marie Antoinette factor.   The other one in the collection that really gave me frisson was a ring that had the monogram of Marie Antoinette in a glazed compartment set on top of a lock of hair of Marie Antoinette. When it was on your finger, you thought, “Wow, I'm wearing not only something that belonged to Marie Antoinette, but also a little bit of Maria Antoinette herself.” So, it was very, very emotional.   Sharon: Wow! I can see how that would be incredible from a jewelry perspective, from a history perspective. So, you opened the jewelry department for Sotheby's in Milan. Is that where you met David Bennett?   Daniela: Yes, that's how we met. My superiors at Sotheby's had the grace to believe in me, and they also realized I was very junior to the job, and I needed a lot of support. David was, in those days, one of the specialists in London and young enough to be told, “Come on, get on a plane and go down and help Daniela put together this scene.” That's how we met. He knew a bit more than I did. He was about four or five years into the career by then. To my eyes, he was amazingly knowledgeable. That's how we met, and from the very beginning, I think we clicked. We discovered we had a lot of common interests and we were on the same wave length. We look at jewels in the same way. It was late 1980 when I met him.   Sharon: How did the book come about? You both decided you wanted a book?   Daniela: That is an interesting story. I think you may have to ask the question of David to get his part of the story. I came in at the second stage. David asked me, “Daniela, I was given the task of writing this book last year. I haven't done anything. Can you please help me?” I'm sure he will tell you how he got into that situation if you ask him. I don't want to say the wrong thing. But, of course, I said, “Yes, I will be delighted,” because it was a great chance for me to get into a publication. I thought I could do it because I had the background, the organized mind to do the research, to put all my docs in line together and then cook the cake, so to speak. Over the next year, I collected all the information. I sourced all the images, and then writing the book was very much four-hands, two-brain work, mine and David's.   Sharon: Did you anticipate that it would be such a foundational work?   Daniela: Not at all. It was really great to see the book selling. At the beginning, I could not believe it, but there was a market for it. As the years passed and the editions kept being published throughout the whole world, I thought perhaps we had done something that really hit the right mark. I think the success, if you want to call it that, of the book was that it was informative, but not written in an academic way. It was accessible to everybody. It was accessible to somebody who knew about jewels, so we were not patronizing, but at the same time, we gave information that perhaps not everybody who was working in the field had. It really could be bought as a present for the girlfriend who loves jewels, but it was a book that was bought by most members of the trade. In fact, it was divided into decades and groups of 20 years, so it was so well-structured from the time point of view.    Sharon: It's such a bible of the jewelry profession. I think I told you that when I first got into jewelry, a dealer said to me, “If you have one book, this is the book, ‘Understanding Jewelry.'” How did the updates come about? Did editors come to you and say, “There's new information,” or did you to go the publisher? How did that work?   Daniela: It was me going to the publisher. The publisher was happy to keep on reprinting the book because the book was selling. The first edition came out in 1989 and covered from 1780 and basically went up to the 60s and 70s. It was too early, in 1989, to write anything about the 80s. We didn't have a clue. We were living in the 80s, so it was impossible to judge. It was back in 2003 when we had a proper revamp of the book with the third edition. We brought it to the year 2000.   We considered if we should do another version and stretch it to 2010, 2020. I said, “No, we will be in the same position we were in 1989. It's very difficult to judge what's happening at the moment. You really need everything to sediment and to look at it from a distance. So, we thought, “Why don't we do something more up to date?” We considered going digital, doing a digital version of the book, but we thought perhaps we could do a bit more than that. So, we have a platform, UnderstandingJewelery.com. We have the whole book, “Understanding Jewelry,” but the book is continuously growing with the addition of images and quite extensive captions in all the different chapters. So, you not only have the book that you can buy in the shop, but you have a book that keeps on growing. We are making a point to keep this process a steady progress and giving it a chance for the book to become an encyclopedia if we want, the bible of jewels.    Sharon: I've only been able to look so far on the website. Are you talking about “Understanding Jewelry: The 20th Century”? That's your most recent book, right?   Daniela: That is recent, yes. That came from the fact that we realized we are now quite well into the 21st century and we can look, even in the last two decades of the 20th century, with a different eye, with a more critical eye. We decided to split the 19th century from the 20th century, and we decided to unpack one subject at a time. The difference between the part dedicated to the 20th century, which is in Understanding Jewelry, the original version, is that this looks more to the social history, the fashion history, the political history and the economic history that was the background to jewelry production throughout the 20th century.  It will not present the development of brooches from 1900 to 1960, but we still give a very good example for each decade of the most iconic jewels of the period.   Sharon: I love the way it's divided and goes decade by decade. It may start at 1900 or the 1890s, but you're very clear on what the period is. It's very clearly written.   Daniela: Thank you. We tried our best. It's nice to hear that we have reached the aim we were trying to achieve.   Sharon: This is a two-part Jewelry Journey Podcast.
