The post Enrica Rocca Will Teach You the Ins and Outs of Venetian Cuisine appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>“Learning authentic Venetian cookery is more about finding the best regional ingredients than knowing how to fry a fish,” remarked The New York Times in an article dedicated to Rocca. Having Italian food in her blood and a contagious zest for life, Rocca’s teachings are thorough, without being overly serious.
Having graduated from the Hotel School of Lausanne, Rocca brought up her two daughters and ran two Italian restaurants in Cape Town for 11 years, before making a move to London in 2002. In London, she opened her first Italian cookery school, which her two daughters have run since 2014. As for Rocca, she is now back in Venice, where she runs a second branch of the cookery school.
Her classes—full of zest and enthusiasm—begin with shopping tips at Venice’s Rialto fish and produce market and end with a jolly cooking tutorial in Rocca’s home.
“A cuisine is built around the local ingredients so exporting a culinary culture is really difficult,” explained the chef in an interview with Suitcase Magazine. “You can’t access the same ingredients, not everything can be exported and compromises are not always successful.”
“I never eat in Italian restaurants outside of Italy as I enjoy discovering the local specialties,” she admits. “I also know how difficult it is to replicate any cuisine outside of its original country.” Her dishes always comprise just two or three ingredients, chosen well, cooked simply and brought to the table with gusto.
We dream of taking her cookery classes in Venice’s Dorsoduro district, just across the Grand Canal from San Marco. But for the time being, we’ll have to make do with her online courses.

]]>The post Giulia Tordini’s Jewelry is the Very Essence of Art Deco appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>According to Tordini, her passion for Art Deco jewelry sparked at a young age, when taking careful notice of her grandmother’s stacked, statement rings. Indeed, the Leda Madera pieces have an Art Deco look that will add an artistic flair to any outfit. Carefully cast in Italy, the graphic pieces have a vintage twist to them, crafted with the label’s signature pleated detail that’s meant to give the look of movement.
“The ‘pleated element’ movement is at the core of my designs,” explained Tordini in an interview with Moda Operandi. “You will find it in all three families within the collection.”
But while her main inspiration comes from her grandmother, Tordini’s fashion sensibilities are tied to other family members. According to the young designer, her father has a showroom in Italy and the whole family has grown up breathing fashion. She herself graduated in Fashion Communication at IED and worked in the Communication Department of the family business. Tordini has also worked as Art Director for a few emerging brands and boutiques.
Aside from her family, other sources of inspiration include cinema and other forms of visual art: “My collection references Art Deco architecture from Paris and New York, and the whole Italian end-of-the-’80’s, beginning-of-the-’90s contained opulence,” she notes. “At the time, Art Deco was a symbol of modernity and luxury, and my brand has the same characteristics: eternal, it starts from the past and looks to the future, and can be passed on from one generation to another.”
Her timeless pieces can be worn by every woman, from day to night, paired with a casual look or more formalwear. Visit her Instagram to see some more pieces.

]]>But though epic, there’s a sort of effortless charm in her watercolor landscapes that capture the sunny days and ancient towns of her birthplace. “Light and its effect on color is the essence of my work,” explains Cammerata. “The sunshine of Italy saturates and energizes everything it touches, making colors sing.”
According to Cammerata, it wasn’t until after she completed a degree in fine arts, with a strong grounding in art history, that she decided to paint exclusively in watercolors. “I felt they were better able to capture the interplay of color and light,” she explains.
“Each moment our senses are flooded with light and life,” she goes on to say. “I want to capture that radiance, that aliveness, and create a painting that makes you want to immerse yourself in it.”
Such scenes include a recent painting of Market Day in San Gimignano – a beautiful town in Tuscany known for its majestic medieval towers. Another painting overlooks the view of Florence, seen from Piazzale Michelangelo across the Arno river.
