Ecco, “Admaiora” è nata dal sogno di chi la vita

lusso solo se concilia la cultura, i sentimenti, il

“Admaiora” ha presentato un nuovo brand: “The
Black Selection™”, un ventaglio di ville stupende, di servizi di lusso (automobili fuoriserie,
yacht, personal shopper, chef, personal trainer e
molto altro) e di alberghi ultra raffinati del
Mediterraneo. Il diamante - raro, fulgido e sfaccettato come nessun altra pietra preziosa - simboleggia questa selezione destinata a un pubblico di iniziati: persino per accedere al sito di “The

огда после бешеных последних месяцев (выставка в Базеле, постоянные
разъезды по всему миру) приятельница, занимающаяся недвижимостью
в Италии, спросила: «Не пора ли Вам
отдохнуть?», мы без промедления согласились.
В каталоге вилл наше внимание сразу привлекла фотография безумно красивого маяка на
высокой скале. И хотя наш предыдущий опыт
путешествия по Сардинии был не из лучших (мы
не любители Porto Cervo), мы все же решили,
что в этот раз, отдыхая там, обязательно увидим
что-нибудь новое. И эти ожидания полностью
оправдались.
Сардиния
ВОЛШЕБНАЯ
Водитель, встречавший нас с табличкой Villa
Faro, сказал: «Я отвезу Вас в одно специальное
место, но предупреждаю: Вы будете совершенно
оторваны от внешнего мира». Во время живописной поездки, продолжавшейся около часа,
мы наслаждались ярким майским пейзажем,
стаями розовых фламинго, а вскоре перед нами
открылся захватывающий вид на море. Спустя
некоторое время мы стали забираться все выше
и выше в гору, по совершенно непроезжей дороге, пока не оказались на практически отвесной
скале возле очаровательной виллы с маяком на
крыше.
Мы были первыми гостями в этом удивительном
месте. После двух лет тщательного ремонта (как
только они умудрились привезти все сюда!) ни
одна деталь не осталась непродуманной.
Новейшие тенденции в дизайне интерьеров и
инновационные технологии великолепно сочетались со столетними толстенными стенами, а
современная, но удобная мебель отлично вписывалась в огромные открытые комнаты с красивейшими люстрами Murano.
Вид, открывавшийся из окон виллы, был крайне
необычен: с одной стороны – безмятежное яркосинее море, а с другой – убегающие вдаль скалистые холмы, покрытые свежей зеленью. Мы
были поражены огромным количеством разнообразных диких цветов.
К слову сказать, в Villa Faro великолепный шефповар Ivano. Каждый раз, садясь за стол, мы
давали себе слово, что не будем так наедаться,
но ни разу не смогли сдержаться! А после
шуточного пожелания отведать молочного
поросенка на следующий день он с гордостью
позвал нас на кухню и показал свежую тушку
(оказалось, что он полдня провел в ее поисках)!
Мы поняли, что по приезду домой всем придется садиться на диету.
В наш прощальный вечер Ivano приготовил
ужин из девяти блюд, одно вкуснее другого: от
местной маринованной акулы до знаменитых
spaghetti ala bottarga (спагетти с икрой кефали),
свежеиспеченных хлебцов и тающих во рту
десертов.
Слава Богу, что после такого обжорства мы
выбирались на прогулки по живописным местам.
Один раз даже забрались на еще более высокую
гору, чем та, на которой мы жили. Перед нами
раскинулся интереснейший вид – доисторические седые валуны, только наполовину покрытые растительностью, тянулись на многие
километры без признаков цивилизации.
Мы даже не ожидали, что здесь могут быть
такие красивые пляжи с белоснежным песком
и чистейшей бирюзовой водой. Наверняка эти
места притягивают к себе огромное количество
туристов, но сейчас мы чувствовали себя редкими счастливцами!
Мы просто влюбились в это замечательное
место. Несмотря на то, что оно находится всего
в часе езды от Cagliari – большого города, расположенного недалеко от аэропорта – здесь
создается ощущение, то ты находишься в какомто уединенном уголке экзотической красоты. А
еще нас просто поразили роскошь и безукоризненный сервис (кроме Ivano, с нами 24 часа в
сутки находился батлер, так великолепно обслуживающий, что мы даже стали подозревать
присутствие армии слуг за дверями кухни),
который обычно бывает только в самых лучших
гостиницах,
Мы уезжали немного грустные, поправившиеся
на несколько килограмм, но великолепно отдохнувшие и в полнейшей уверенности, что это
был первый, но далеко не последний наш визит
на виллу Faro.

Roger Taylor: un uomo
del rinascimento

Testo
ERIN DANIEL MCKEE
Con il suo gruppo, i Duran Duran, ha ricevuto
molti premi; Grammy, MTV awards, BRIT awards
e tanto altro. Oggi Roger Taylor però non usa più
la sua batteria per dettare il ritmo ai fan, ma
forte della sua esperienza di star abituata a esibirsi di fronte a milioni di fan, intrattiene il pubblico grazie ad una proficua carriere come produttore discografico e dj nei più importanti club
del mondo. Lo incontriamo in occasione di un
suo viaggio a Forte dei Marmi, una delle sue
destinazioni preferite in Italia. Qualche domanda
per raccontarci chi è oggi Roger Taylor, come
uomo e come artista.
La tua lunga carriera con i Duran Duran ha
influenzato in qualche modo la tua orientazione musicali come dj?
Si certo. I Duran Duran sono nati nella cultura
dei club. Appena formati eravamo soliti fare le
prove nel retro di un club in Inghilterra chiamato Rum Runner. Attraverso i muri sentivamo ogni
genere musicale ; dal punk ai primi ritmi della
disco music che arrivano da New York. Suonare
la batteria non è così diverso da far il dj; si tratta
comunque di far muovere la gente al tuo ritmo.
Chi o che cosa ha influenzato di più la tua
transizione da musicista in una band ad una carriera come dj, quindi da solista?
E’ stata una transizione molto soft e naturale.
Subito dopo la mia prima esperienza al Met Bar
di Londra, che è stata oltre dieci anni fa – wow
come passa veloce il tempo - ho capito che fare
il dj sarebbe stata una parte importante della
mia vita. Sono convito che ad ognuno di noi si
presentano dei bivi nella vita, delle opportunità,
ed io ho imparato a riconoscerle e non farmele
scappare… Il mio dj partner Jake Fonique mi ha
aiutato moltissimo. E’ una delle persone tecnicamente più preparate che conosca.
Che cosa è più entusiasmante; essere sul palcoscenico - qualsiasi palcoscenico – o essere in
studio?
Qualsiasi performance dal vivo è entusiasmante.
Come gruppo siamo tutti nati per stare sul palco
e penso che tutti noi viviamo per la scarica di
adrenalina che hai quando sei davanti ad un folla
di fan. Si dice che i musicisti, i cantanti, soffrano di
una bassa stima di loro stessi, per questo hanno
bisogno degli applausi della folla….
Quale esperienza hai trovato più appagante
come dj?
Essere in console con David Guettta al Pacha di
Ibiza, sorseggiando il suo champagne millesimato.
Quale è stato il tuo errore peggiore come dj?
Stavo suonando al Blue Marlin di Ibiza e proprio
in mezzo al mio set - per errore - ho schiacciato “stop” sul piatto che stava trasmettendo in
quel momento: è stato li che mi sono reso conto
che il silenzio è il peggior nemico di un dj – ma
almeno tutti si sono resi conto che c’ero.
Come vedi l’evolversi della tua carriera come
dj e che obbiettivi ti sei posto: ti vedremo più
spesso in Italia?
Certo che mi vedrete più spesso perché amo
l’Italia; il cibo, la cultura, la gente.
Gli italiani amano i Duran Duran e amano la
musica elettronica e questa è una combinazione
perfetta. Sarei molto felice di continuare a fare il
dj in giro per il mondo e stiamo cominciando a
produrre alcune delle nostre canzoni dance, che
dovrebbero uscire quest’anno.
La gente di Forte dei Marmi è tra la più sofisticata d’Italia. Cosa ami di questo zona del
nostro paese e cosa c’è di unico in chi la frequenta?
Indubbiamente la grande voglia di vivere, il desiderio di divertirsi. E’una qualità che manca in
Gran Bretagna, forse centra il clima, chi lo sa.
Sei d’accordo che un hotel è 20% posizione,
20% design ed il resto lo fa il concierge? Quale
è il tuo hotel preferito qui a Forte dei Marmi?
Si sono d’accordo con questa affermazione.
Amo Palazzo Guiscardo a Pietrasanta che raggruppa tutte le qualità elencate.
Se ti rimanesse un solo giorno sulla Terra prima
di partire per una missione spaziale, come lo
passeresti?
Tirerei fuori tutti i miei dischi e li ascolterei tutto
il giorno, e poi ovviamente darei un paio di baci
a mia moglie prima di partire.
Che cosa significa il “lusso” per te?
Lenzuola raffinate ed un ottimo cuscino
Cher e Madonna, gentile signore vestiti in
modo aggressivo o “ se ce l’hai fallo vedere”?
Decisamente “se ce l’hai fallo vedere”. Madonna
è indubbiamente una donna molto attraente.
Con i Duran Duran avete appena lavorato con
Justin Timberlake e Timbaland ( nell’album del
2007 “Red Carpet Massacre”) e la vostra prossima uscita è stata prodotta con Mark Ronson.
Hai imparato qualcosa come dj/produttore da
questi artisti/produttori pieni di talento?
Certo ognuno di loro è un genio a suo modo e
mi sento molto fortunato di aver lavorato con
loro.
Cosa possiamo aspettarci dal prossimo album
dei Duran Duran?
Ha ha! Dovrete aspettare per saperlo, ma vi assicuro che ne varrà la pena.
