Luxury, class and sophistication for an evening with which the monarchs tried to strengthen Anglo-Litian relationships before their next state trip under an increasingly imposing philosophy: Slow Food and Slow Fashion, the two movements promoted by King’s Foundation , founded by the King in 1990. Stop time, enjoy. Of food. Fashion. Of friends. And, of course, of life.

One of the guest star of the night has been the Italian designer Donatella Versace. Dressed in a beautiful draped model of her own collection, she has praised the style of the monarch: “I have an image of how a gentleman is and that image finds his expression in King Carlos. He is beyond fashion, it is an archetype of the style”.

The Beckham also had the opportunity to chat with King Carlos, whose foundation is Ambassador David: “I am very proud of our work and I thank you very much to have me,” he said.

After the cocktail, where the monarch has been encouraged to make pinitos like Barman, they have enjoyed a traditional Italian dinner of four dishes. The night menu was designed by the chef Francesco Mazzei and inspired by the Italian actor Stanley Tuccialso present at the gala: Panzanella de Croojo Scottish, Ravioli with tomato paste with ricotta and fine Highgrove, red porchtta of suffolk with pumpkin puree and sage and rodized cough, and a dessert of English and Biscotti.

The Slow Food movement was founded in Italy in 1986 as a fight against fast food boom. It promotes the use of local and seasonal cuisine through the consumption of plants, seeds and regional cattle. Now established in more than 160 countries worldwide, ramifications include the Slow Fashion movement, which encourages consumers to buy less higher quality items that last longer. The fashion industry, although greatly profitable, is one of the largest pollutants on the planet. From the King’s Foundation, they work in sustainable fashion and traditional heritage skills, such as hatry, embroidery, furniture manufacturing and fashion design.
