The Italian Embassy in Berlin hosted a gala evening in collaboration with Italian fashion house “Bottega Veneta” to mark the opening of its second shop in Berlin. The event was attended by a select audience of personalities from Germany’s entertainment, business, society and media communities. Bottega Veneta was represented by its Chairman and Managing Director, Marco Bizzarri.
