The words of Caterina Celestino
To weave the canvas of the queen of Ithaca was called Caterina Celestino, spokesperson of the family company famous since the last century for its precious fabrics still today made on ancient looms by expert hands. “I have adhered from the beginning with conviction to this exciting artistic project: I have always loved Homeric poems and classical culture in general and this very special piece has led me to translate on the scene the values of a femininity so similar to the one I believe in. always: that of a courageous, elegant woman who does not compromise. I find that this Penelope basically resembles me a little and, undoubtedly, no one better than Ornella Muti, whom I have always admired, could synthesize the contemporary female world so effectively”Commented Caterina Celestino. In this way she renews herself, with a new but universal language, the liaison between fashion and theater that she continues to write with Celestino a new and exciting chapter in her history.
