It’s hard to say which of the cars featured on Jay Leno’s Garage is the most unique, but this 1930 Lancia Dilambda, we reckon, is pretty close to the top. Sadly, in our times, the Italian carmaker has degraded to a second-rate car company that makes a single (and very awful) model – the Ypsilon. In the past, however, the Legacy manufacturer was a f...

Most of us like to dress our home just as stylishly as we dress ourselves. One of our fave mottos here at ELLE DECOR, after all, is “fashion for the home.” But for us interiors editors, the real test is whether an apparel brand can translate its design ethos to a furniture or tabletop collection. Dolce & Gabbana has done just that.

Naples’ busy metro is probably the last place you'd expect to find a contemporary art gallery. Yet gliding on an escalator 131 feet up to Toledo station in the Spanish Quarter mimics the experience of moving underwater.  The immersive art piece “Crater de Luz” is one of more than 250 works by 80 international artists across 12 metro stops.

Italy has never been afraid of maximalism. One of the country’s defining values is a love of everyday beauty–something that is seen not as an elitist pursuit, but rather a feeling that everyone is entitled to.
