There could not have been a better location than the Palatina Gallery at Pitti Palace, Florence, for ‘Renaissance and Rock ’n’ Roll’—the Cruise 2018 collection by Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele. As a wonderful prelude to the show, guests were taken through an exclusive tour through the Vasari Corridor, which is normally closed to visitors. (The corridor was built by the Medici family so they could walk between their palaces in privacy. It connects the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti, before leading into the Uffizi gallery, which houses stunning Renaissance artworks by Michelangelo, Caravaggio, and da Vinci.)
