The second day of the Sartorial Club's Campania field trip took David beyond the realm of Neapolitan tailoring into the breathtaking beauty of the Amalfi Coast to experience “La Dolce Vita”.

As David’s adventure concluded with a scenic stroll through Ravello, Positano, Sorrento and a reflective evening in Naples, he came to appreciate that this TSC field trip celebrated not only sartorial splendor but the art of refined living itself.

After exploring the Renaissance charm of Florence and the elegance of Pitti, Janne and other Platinum members travels to Naples, the vibrant capital of Campania, rich in historical and architectural marvels.

Here, the Club delves into the world of Sartoria Napoletana, beginning with a visit to Sartoria Ciardi, where brothers Enzo and Roberto, second-generation master tailors, continue their father’s legacy. The journey continues to Cerrato Napoli, where Marco Cerrato and his family craft bespoke trousers with a blend of tradition and modernity. These visits highlight the meticulous craftsmanship and family heritage inherent in Neapolitan tailoring.

As Janne arrives at Villa San Michele for the Club’s Black Tie Dinner, his expectations are high. After a week of lively Pitti activities with the Club, this evening promises a unique and elevated experience.

Club members gather in the elegant former monastery, where the serene garden with its view of Florence sets a calming tone, providing the perfect setting for an aperitivo.

The evening proceeds with a four-course traditional Tuscan dinner at Ristorante San Michele, held under the Renaissance loggia. This starlit evening, filled with wine, laughter, and conversations, deepens the connections among members. "The pinnacle of Pitti 106 week," Janne concludes.

David recounts his experience at Pitti Uomo #106 with the Sartorial Club by highlighting the camaraderie among members during morning meetups at the Caffé degli Innocenti, the stylish walk to Fortezza da Basso, and the joy of being photographed in elegant attire.

The bustling atmosphere of Pitti, filled with enthusiasts and quality menswear, is contrasted with the serene Black Tie Dinner at Villa San Michele, offering a perfect blend of lively interactions and relaxed elegance.

Gustav recapped the Sartorial Club’s Summer Gala, held on Monday evening and as the unofficial opening party of Pitti 106 week.

The rooftop garden provided a stunning backdrop for attendees in garden party attire. As Club founders welcomed guests and kicked off a speed dating session, Gustav found himself fostering meaningful connections with solo traveler Adam, a MTM specialist from Minnesota, to Pablo, a young Mexican tailor, Michael & Giso team’s different perspectives of Belgian and Dutch customers, and lastly, Dan and Isabel, Romanians with law background who changed their path into tailoring.

For the inaugural episode of the 'Under the Tuscan Sun' series, we've enlisted the insights of three members: David, Gustav and Janne to recount their firsthand experiences and offer valuable tips on preparing for the journey.

Club co-founder Dennise fondly recalls her inaugural Pitti experience during the "pandemic summer," a moment that ignited the inspiration behind founding The Sartorial Club in 2022. Since then, the ethos of the Club, encapsulated in the spirit of "Network, Explore, Co-Create," has become the cornerstone of crafting member experiences for Pitti 106 and beyond.
