| Catherine de' Medici, one of the greatest spouses in the Italian Renaissance. |
In Italy until a couple of decades ago, maybe three decades ago, our mothers in Italy used to prepare a wonderful dowry for us, with mostly handmade linen sheets for a king-size bed, including a wedding comforter and a nightgown as a basic trousseau.
Because I never got married, to tell you the truth I have been using my nightgown for many years now. It is so beautiful and I feel like a princess each time I wear it. It is so much like the 1970s because it is exactly when I received it as a gift. It is embroidered by hand and lavender is its color.

On the contrary, one of the greatest spouses from Italy was Catherine de' Medici who married the French King Henry II. The marriage was celebrated on October 28, 1533.
In our projects for BorgoderutA a complete collection dedicated to women and taking inspiration from famous dowries. Dreaming is a privilege to which everybody is entitled. Che bello sognare! (tr. dreaming is beautiful).

This is what the Marriage of William and Kate made me think of. By the way, Kate Middleton in one of her recent official visits was wearing a suit by Luisa Spagnoli, one of the oldest factories in Europe and located in Perugia, Italy.
