Andrea Tortora chose the Palais Royal in Paris as the setting for his first “studio”. An emblematic place in the city's history, a crossroads of encounters that has seen the most famous faces of politics and culture, from Richelieu to Mazarin, from Louis XIV to Colette, the Palais Royal is also a symbol of the intensity of relations between Italy and France, an archive of exchanges between the two countries united by a long history of mutual influences. It is on this ground and in the elegant spaces of AMF, a Bassano-based company specialising in the supply of metal components for the luxury world, that Andrea Tortora will offer his creations to Parisian customers, through a dedicated pick-up point, perpetuating a privileged axis of dialogue with the French world, which is increasingly attentive to the discovery of the Italian Pasticceria heritage and the prominent faces that mark its scene today.
