Roberto Capucci is an extraordinary artist, perhaps the first (and certainly unique, no one like him), so by citing his work and telling the wonderful anecdotes that have accompanied him throughout his important career, one cannot simply talk about clothes, but we have to tell about works of art.
Masterpieces by Roberto Capucci

A designer who dressed Silvana Mangano, Franca Rame, Rita Levi di Montalcino, Franca Valeri, Marilyn Monroe, Ira Furstenberg, wonderful women, talented, independent, free, with an overwhelming personality. Clients who looked like his mentor.

In fact, I imagine that he has refused many jobs, if something or someone did not convince him, always free to decide (and pay) in first person.

But this is the price of freedom and the satisfaction of having lived an extraordinary and free life.
