«If you could see what kind of strange and splendid gowns women use to wear! It almost seems to be in the East: it’s a perfect illusion. Silk turbans embroided with gold and silver, large flaming aprons, the most wide sleeves, a treasure of wonderful folds.»
Gabriele D’Annunzio, 1885
Vedessi che costumi strani e splendidi portano le donne! Par d’essere in Oriente: l’illusione è perfetta. Turbanti di seta ricamati d’oro e d’argento, grandi grembiuli fiammanti, maniche larghissime, una ricchezza di pieghe meravigliose.
Gabriele D’Annunzio, 1885
