Welcome to 2019 EU Week - Get to know Luxury. Sign up for the limited availability of seats!
Get to know Luxury

Luxury has had its long presence throughout the course of the human history. The history of luxury can be traced back to Greco-Roman civilization, where people exalted the beauty of culture through delicate and expensive items. Nowadays, international luxury brands persist in craftsmanship and quality, combining traditional and modern aesthetics, and, thus, luxury becomes an attitude toward life, a symbol of the pursuit of excellence, the desire for fine arts and for flawless details. Luxury sparks between the classic and the innovative, between craftsmanship and technology; the multifaceted property and the dynamics of luxury make it what everyone covets. Through its professional craftsmanship with its persistence in modern spirits, luxury is no longer merely a product, but the miniature of modern art.
