* Aristocracy & #fashion, Renaissance & #modernity. The Florentine upbringing of Emilio Pucci
* Pucci's American discovery. From the winter Olympics of 1932 to his studies at Reed College
* From #sports to #aviation. How a pilot become a smuggler and a spy. Pucci and the Ciano affair.
* The postwar years. From stretchable ski suits to #swimwear. From Capri to Rome and back to Florence. Pucci's impact on the birth of Italian #moda and the #design of dolce vita
