Born in Rome and raised in a refined, sophisticated environment between the Roman countryside and the splendid palazzos of the Italian capital, Dianora has always nurtured a love for nature and gardens, – Russel Page designed the garden of the Roman house where she grew up -, art, fine craftsmanship and a certain effortless elegance of the spirit that is deeply infused both in her design aesthetic and in her family history.
Through her unique use of the most noble fibers (linen, cashmere, silk and wool), hand-woven on wooden looms, she creates very special scarves, often finished with her signature hand-painting. This approach, mixed with her impeccable eye, helped the brand turn the scarf from a mere fashion accessory to a distinctive luxury item, sold in the most sophisticated stores across the globe.
Dianora’s patterns and colors are inspired not only by the Italian tradition but also by her passion for travel to off the beaten path destinations, like India, Colombia, Mexico, Iran and Ethiopia, amongst others, places whose beauty and culture have influenced many of her collections over the past two decades.
