On the night between 3 and 4 May 2024 - from 8.00 pm to 02.00 am, Rome shone brightly in honor of the Maestro of Italian Couture, Renato Balestra, on the centenary of his birth. 
Iconic locations such as Piazza del Campidoglio, Trinità dei Monti, and Porta Pinciana were bathed in the signature Balestra blue, paying tribute to his timeless legacy in the world of fashion. 
Meanwhile, Trieste, the hometown of the Maestro, also joined in the celebration by illuminating key landmarks like the Urban Center Palace and the Fountain of Neptune. 
It was a breathtaking sight to behold, capturing the essence of Balestra's unparalleled artistry and elegance.
