\n\tThe weekend started with a private after-hours tour of \u201cRothko a Firenze,\u201d a retrospective at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence. Cocurated by the artist\u2019s son Christopher Rothko, the retrospective features more than 70 works from major international museums and private collections, from the 1930s to the 1970s.<\/p>\n
\n\tFollowing the exhibition, guests dined at Trattoria Cammillo, a family-run restaurant serving traditional Tuscan cuisine with courses of homemade pasta and classic regional dishes.<\/p>\n
\n\tGuests spent the second day in and around Villa San Michele, a Belmond hotel. There were able to cool down from a hike in Fiesole hills, where Leonardo da Vinci first tested his flying devices, with gelato from Vivoli, the famous Florentine gelateria, founded in 1930.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere was \u201cwarm white\u201d for the first course, \u201csunset orange\u201d for the main course and \u201cstatement red\u201d for dessert, echoing the evolving sunset over the city.<\/p>\n
\n\tKaminetsky said Net-a-porter<\/a> \u201chas long admired Khaite<\/a>\u2019s ability to define modern luxury in a way that feels both timeless and deeply relevant, truly representing what makes today\u2019s woman look and feel amazing. Celebrating this launch in Florence \u2014 a city synonymous with craftsmanship, beauty and culture \u2014 felt like a natural fit.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tDree Hemingway <\/p>\n \n\tThe event was the latest in a series of \u201cmoney-can\u2019t-buy\u201d moments aimed at EIP customers, who increasingly want a dose of highbrow culture with their fashion, as well as memorable experiences that go beyond commerce.
