As you know I am smitten with the windows at Le Bon Marche, as they are always so clever and chic, forever putting a smile on my face.
The current windows feature marvelous photos of the dynamic divas of Italian cinema from the end of WW II to the 1960s. Iconic images of gorgeous goddesses Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinale, Monica Vitti, and Virna Lisi make us remember the great Italian cinema of that era. Of course, there are some images of the the sexiest male movie star ever, Marcello Mastroianni. Oh, Marcello, you make my heart flutter, you sexy devil! The windows are in conjunction with an exhibit in the store with photos from the new photo book "Divas Italia : Age d’or, mythe et réalité du cinéma italien" by Ronald Chammah.
Ciao, Bella!
