To mark the 70th anniversary of the film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, Florence’s Hotel Savoy is offering a unique walking tour experience, “In Marilyn’s Footsteps”, celebrating the iconic Marilyn Monroe. Beginning at the hotel in Piazza della Repubblica, this guided tour takes participants on a journey through Italian art, cinema and style, all imbued with the aura of Marilyn.
An Immersion in Art and Fashion The tour begins with a discovery of Joana Vasconcelos’ installations at Palazzo Pitti, including the sculpture “Marilyn”, inspired by the shoes worn by the actress in “The Seven Year Itch”. This work blends irony and irreverence, transcending gender conventions and underlining the complexity of femininity.
The tour continues through the streets of Florence, evoking Marilyn’s connection with luxury brands such as Chanel N°5 and Guerlain Rouge. The highlight is a visit to the Museo Ferragamo, dedicated to Salvatore Ferragamo, the designer who created shoes for Marilyn. The museum illustrates the link between fashion, art and cinema, while celebrating innovation and “Made in Italy” style.
A Moment of Relaxation at Bar Irene To conclude this unique experience, guests are invited to the Hotel Savoy’s Bar Irene, decorated by Emilio Pucci, another designer admired by Marilyn. Here, attendees can enjoy a cocktail inspired by Marilyn, including champagne, one of her favorite drinks, or a classic Martini, recalling a famous scene from “The Seven Year Itch”.
