Italian Excellence | Ep.1 Derek Castiglioni

Salvatore Ferragamo celebrates Italian Excellence, through a unique collaboration with four dynamic talents, whose creations embody the values of Italian culture, craft and heritage. Derek Castiglioni is a landscape designer who learned the secrets of the plants at his family’s plant-nursery company in Lake Como. With a background in architecture, he sees no distinction in interpreting outer or internal spaces, as accuracy in designing is equally precious for both. He draws inspiration from the 50’s aesthetics, gradually transforming them into his contemporary vision of some of Milan’s most luscious secret gardens.
