05012011 CIPA is the name of Naples legend Kiton's special project, shorthand for its creator and sartorial legend Ciro Paone. The DNA of the label, which he founded in the early 1960's and resurrected two years ago, is all about handmade, but its look is an edgier, more experimental take on Italian luxury than the patrician garments of its parent Kiton, which is favored by world leaders and Hollywood royalty.

05022011 I love a list. Every time I went on holiday, starting from as soon as I could write, I'd make a packing list. This is how I learned that, in 1755, a man named George Lucy packed quite the wrong things for a holiday to Naples. Poor old George discovered that the Italians "dress much, and I have been obliged to daub myself all over with silver, accompanied with a sword and a bag wig". He had to write to his housekeeper to ask her to send out smarter clothes. In orderly fashion | New Statesman
05032011 After the stress of preparing for an autumn city wedding while looking after our two toddlers, we had little time to think about our honeymoon. It was only when we stepped out at Naples airport in our woolly jumpers and a wave of heat hit us, that we realised we hadn’t thought about it enough. And, we certainly hadn’t imagined that just a two hour forty-five minute flight away, we’d find summer sun. Steve And Loo's Italian Amalfi Coast Adventure | You & Your Wedding

05172011 Last year there wasn’t really a grand family vacation that saw us settled in one place.

05252011 Picture this. This reporter, naive in the ways of the world, and her older sister newly arrived in picturesque and chaotic Naples in the south of Italy.
