Beauty is not a given trait, it comes from the acceptance of your weak points and the exploitation of your strong ones. However, knowing how to use what you've got by pairing together the right colors and shapes is not always easy. So, put your trust in the hands of our professional consultants! Essence of Italy staff will take care of your style by enhancing your over-all look.
We will start with a color analysis to determine which tones best suit you and then pass to a figure analysis to understand which forms of clothing best shape your figure.
We will conclude with a facial study to advise you on which make-up will bring out the most in your features and the haircut and color to compliment.
At the end of the consultation you will be given your very own "look-book" full of notes, a color palette that exalts your natural shades and snap-shots of the outfits that really show-off your figure.
You will receive all the tools you need to maximize your look and make you stand out, and best of all you will be able to keep them with you for time to come.

Cities

Milan

Milan, the capital of Lombardy, has a population of 1.3 million people. It is the biggest industrial city of Italy with many different industrial sectors. It is a magnetic point for designers, artists, photographers and models. Milan has an ancient city centre with high and interesting buildings and palazzos, which is why so many people from all over the world want to see the city of glamour.
Milan’s origin goes back to 400 B.C., when Gauls settled and defeated the Etruscans.
In 222 B.C. the city was conquered by Romans and was annexed to the Roman Empire. After 313 A.D., the year of the Edict of Tolerance towards Christianity, many churches were built and the first bishop was appointed: Ambrogio was such an influential person that the church became the Ambrosian Church (7 December is a holiday to honour Sant’Ambrogio). In 1300 the Visconti family which are noblemen from Bergamo, Cremona, Piacenza, Brescia and Parma ruled and brought a period of glory and wealth to the city. The Duomo was built in 1386 and became the symbol of Milan.

Venice

A city unlike any other. No matter how often you've seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you'll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif.

Florence

Florence, the city of the lily, gave birth to the Renaissance and changed the way we see the world. For centuries it has captured the imaginations of travelers, who have come seeking rooms with views and phenomenal art. Florence's is a subtle beauty—its staid, unprepossessing palaces built in local stone are not showy, even though they are very large. They take on a certain magnificence when day breaks and when the sun sets; their muted colors glow in this light. A walk along the Arno offers views that don't quit and haven't much changed in 700 years; navigating Piazza della Signoria, always packed with tourists, requires patience. There's a reason why everyone seems to be here, however. It's the heart of the city, and home to the Uffizi—the world's finest repository of Italian Renaissance art.

Rome

It is the city with the highest concentration of historical and architectural riches in the world. Its historical centre, outlined by the enclosing Aurelian Walls, layering nearly three thousand years of antiquity, is an invaluable testimony to the European western world’s cultural, artistic and historical legacy and in 1980 it was, together with the Holy See’s property beyond the confines of the Vatican State as well as the Basilica of St. Paul outside the Walls, were added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List .
Rome, the heart of Catholic Christianity, is the only city in the world to host an entire foreign state within its confines, the enclave of the Vatican City, and it is for this very reason that it is often referred to as the capital of two States.
Over 16% of the world’s cultural treasures are located in Rome.

Hotel Residenza di Ripetta - Rome

A 17th century baroque treasure, Niquesa's Residenza di Ripetta is a former convent. To enter its expansive, verdant inner courtyard is to enter an oasis in the very centre of Rome. Paintings, statues, and original frescoes adorn its many enticing spaces but a remarkable collection of contemporary art also reside here. Located between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, throughout the centuries, the Residenza di Ripetta provided shelter for religious, unmarried girls ‘endowed with good talent and lively and generous compassion’ to ‘keep them away from the dangers of the world and preserve their virtues, until the opportunity of either a marriage or becoming nuns’. The original convent developed and grew over centuries thanks to the generous papal support. One of the most honourable donors was Pope Innocenzo XI, whose marble bust is now located in the main ballroom - a former chapel of the convent.

Spacious serenity prevails in Residenza di Ripetta‘s 69 guest rooms and suites. The high ceilings and understated elegance, so intrinsic to the original 17th century architecture of the building, is perfectly complemented by a harmonious blend of classic styling and modern accents. Rooms are large, a testament to the building's ecclesiastical heritage and the tranquil, shaded inner courtyard garden offers respite from the heat of the day. Take a walk around the hotel's public spaces and wide corridors and stumble across precious antiquities artfully combined with contemporary artworks and innovative sculptures. The Residenza never fails to surprise.
