A MAGICAL WEEKEND IN VERONA WITH INTIMISSIMI

Thu September 25, 2014

A weekend filled with unforgettable moments with Intimissimi, exciting new experiences, and a mesmerizing ice skating show at the Arena di Verona.

For those who follow me on Instagram, you already know where I was last weekend! It was my first time visiting the city of love – Verona. I felt honored and privileged to be invited to Opera Pop on Ice & the Intimissimi Event on September 20. I spent just one night there, but it was enough to experience one of the most romantic and magical events I have ever attended.

The event took place at Arena di Verona, with Pharrell Williams opening the show on Saturday. It was an unforgettable evening featuring a spectacular blend of opera, skating, pop, and classical music, all enhanced by breathtaking stage settings and stunning lighting effects.

Beyond Pharrell Williams’ incredible performance, I was beyond excited to meet some of the most beautiful women in the world and a few of my favorite models – Ana Beatriz Barros, Bianca Balti, and Irina Shayk.

Here are some snapshots from my weekend in Verona. Enjoy!

10:30 am – Arrived to the Hotel Giberti and found a beautiful surprise from INTIMISSIMI.

1:00 pm – Together with Intimissimi PR and Austrian fashion magazine editors, we had an incredible delicious traditional Italian food at Signorvino Restaurant. The restaurant offers more than 1,500 varieties of wine from all regions of Italy, selected by Signorvino team.

1:30 pm – The most tasty mozzarella di bufala dish I have ever had before.

3:00 pm – A bit of sightseeing and walking through old charming streets of Verona. Here I was at Via Mazzini, the best shopping street in Verona.

3:30 pm – Tourists leaving love notes on the wall, in the entrance of Casa di Giulietta.

3:30 pm – Visiting one of the city’s most popular attractions, the World Heritage-listed Casa di Giulietta. Known as Juliet’s House, it once belonged to the Capello family. Dating back to the 13th century, the house still bears the family’s coat of arms on its walls.

Inside, a small museum showcases exhibits related to Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, while in the courtyard, a bronze statue of Juliet stands as a symbol of love. Visitors often rub her right breast for good luck. Perhaps the most romantic tradition, however, is the countless love notes left by visitors on the walls and doors at the courtyard entrance.
