Hello babes and gents! We are back from our annual business trip to Italy and cannot wait to share the highlights of the trip with you! For those who are having and Italian summer or planning for next year, these are our must see locations that will make the trip that much betta!
1. Florence. A MUST for the Betta team. Not only is Florence the birthplace of our brand, but the stunning Renaissance architectural designs and heritage make it a truly special place. We are always inspired when we visit Florence, and that inspiration can be seen in our designs. We embrace the classics of Italian design while strategically incorporating modern odes of fashion into our brand.
2. Naples & Capri - Yes, please! Naples, Capri and the Mediterranean Sea is the inspiration behind our 'Angelina' in Blu & our Mini Traveler in 'Porto'. The gorgeous blues of the sea are something worth seeing. From the highest points of Capri to a boat tour of the grottos, the magic of the Mediterranean Sea brings feelings of peace and serenity.
When on the island of Capri, take the Funicular up to the top to see a fashionistas haven. Gorgeous designer storefronts and beautiful outdoor restaurants and cliff bars leave you absolutely speechless.
3. Milan - The fashion capital of Italy. A beautiful place to spend one to two days. Take some time to tour the beauty of the Duomo before you enter the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to explore some of Italy's best luxury fashions. If you travel in the summer months, be sure to unwind and sip some Spritz at the Terrazza Aperol.
4. Province of Caserta - The region of Campania holds a very special place to our hearts. Best known for the baroque Royal Palace of Caserta, with its fountain-filled gardens, Caserta is also the home to delicious food and my families roots. My Nonna whom a collection 'The Angelina' is named after emigrated from Caserta to America to create a new life with her husband for their family.
There are so many wonderful regions of Italy to visit that it is impossible to do it all in one trip. Each time you have the chance to travel, I hope you choose Italy, and I hope it is as magical and special for you as it is for me.
