Mozzafiato Gives Back to Save Venice in Honor of its 50th Anniversary

As exquisite as a jewel box, it has withstood wars, invasions, floods, crushing tourism, and the Black Death.

Venice is a virtuoso. Its improbable design, complicated footprint, and spectacular beauty have fed artists like bread, inspiring soaring masterpieces of human expression.

Venice is magic. Only three square miles, its influence on human art and history has been gigantic.

In this tiny town is all the romance of human history. It is aspiration and triumph, fragility and faith, at turns astonishingly ornate and heartbreakingly simple. The agonies, ecstasies, glories and frailties of our shared humanity preserved in marbles and jewel-toned oils, in churches, museums, and public squares, in Venetian greetings between friends whose roots in the city are centuries old. The city itself is a masterpiece of engineering, roughly 120 small islands in a lagoon at the head of the Adriatic Sea connected by hundreds of bridges and traversed by canal. To move through Venice is to be reminded of how close we are to the elemental – to water that ebbs and flows, land that can be both solid and shifting, and human labor on which survival depends.

Its greatness is among our greatest treasures. And its preservation is in our hands. UNESCO in 2021 has taken the rare step of recommending the city be placed on its list of World Heritage in Danger sites.

As part of the Mozzafiato promise, we have a commitment to beauty nourished by nature, time, and a deep connection to the land, people, and style of Italy. Behind each of our brands is a story, behind every story are people and places – and all of it is Italy. Italy has given us such exceptional beauty, and we are equally invested in giving back to nourish the beauty of Italy.
