Fashion Under the Stars

Fifteenth edition: Partenope on the runway

On August 31st, 2025, at 9:00 PM, the Villetta Comunale in Piana di Monte Verna hosted the XV edition of «Fashion Under the Stars», built around the theme «Partenope: muse of myth, fashion, and melody». The evening told the story of Naples in its dual nature as a beautiful and cursed city, with the fashion show structured in acts that retraced the history and imagery of the city.

The stage featured actor Nando Paone, the monologue Terra mja by Massimiliano Gallo, a spontaneous art performance by Gennaro Talpa, songs by Stany Ruggiero, and percussion by the Bottari, as well as choreography by Benny and Jessica; actress Cristina Donadio also participated. On the runway, as per tradition, children and young women from Piana di Monte Verna and neighboring towns showcased creations from local ateliers.

The organization was handled by the municipal administration with the artistic coordination of councilor Ramona Anna Giglio and hosted by Gaetano Gaudieri. The local press reported a very well-attended evening, with enthusiastic applause from the Alto Casertano audience.
