From December 18, Protected content , the exhibition presents a selection of garments inspired by Robert Redford's films. The garments on display, mostly from the historic Roman tailoring firm Farani, recall the romantic scenes of The Great Gatsby, from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel of the same name, or echo the stories of the two protagonists of The Sting (Redford and Newman), or allude to that world of yesteryear, as in Out of Africa. Nor could the legendary blue pea coat from Three Days of the Condor be missing, worn with jeans and Ray-Bans, thus defining the discreet and practical elegance of urban casual that has become a style. The garments highlight the American artist's emblematic traits.
