The "Corallo" collection by Dolce & Gabbana is a tribute to the sea and, specifically, red coral, emphasizing its aesthetic and symbolic potential. Ferragamo and Gucci are using the coral color and and Fendi's coral collection is the theme for its Summer 2026 collection. 

Italian Design

According to Vogue Italia, coral is the vibrant, chic color of summer 2025, enhancing tans while being more delicate than red and easier than orange. This season, coral is set to dominate vacation spots, city streets, and Instagram feeds. Its warm, energetic nature makes it ideal for elegant yet casual outfits, especially for those with sun-kissed skin. Coral remains a favorite among designers, regularly appearing in collections by Jacquemus, Etro, and others. For spring-summer 2025, softer versions can be seen in the collections of Fendi, and ValentinoMiu Miu combines a coral one-piece with a shiny purple wrap skirt, while Ferragamo features a stunning coral sash detail silk shirt and pants, showcasing coral's timeless elegance.

 

Italian Style

In Italy, coral has significant cultural importance as it symbolizes good luck and protection. For centuries, it has been used in jewelry, religious objects, and various adornments. Torre del Greco, near Naples, and Sardinia are both renowned for their stunning coral jewelry craftsmanship. Famous Italian Jewelery brands such as Pomellato, Chantecler and Vhenier feature Coral in their designs.

Inspired by the solar vitality of red coral, Bvlgari Omnia Coral brings to life the luminous energy of the vibrant gem in a striking signature perfume with a juicy and fruity signature. BORN IN ROMA - Coral Fantasy is Valentino’s latest fragrance which is meant to preserve the fleeting beauty of a luminous sunset in Rome. A vibrant top note of Kiwi adds joyful energy. The heart features a luxurious bouquet of Indian Jasmine and Rose, reflecting the lightness of a Valentino dress. The base combines warm Musks with the edgy touch of Ambrette Seeds absolute for a unique signature.


Italian Decor

Italian Design and Decor is world famous. We share decor ideas from the different regions of Italy, for you to bring that special Italia flair into your home. This quarter we are inspired by the coral colour and coral theme for the design of decor and decor objects. Whether the fruit basket from Alessi in the shape of a coral, or the quirky side table from Casa di Corallo with a coral base, Italy loves  coral. The colour Coral is used in many different shades for wall color but also inspiring textile design from Versace or Fendi. And furniture design for Missoni, B&B Italia and the exceptional Murano table design from Daniela Forti.

Italian Cuisine

Who does not adore the Italian cuisine? We feature different regions, and cooking styles, either nonna-influenced or recipes from famous Italian chefs. Some famous recipes such as the Baccalà e peperoni fritti by Pasquale Franzese, or  the recipe for Corallo di Gambero Rosso - Red shrimp coral,  is a prized ingredient in Italian cuisine, especially in Sicily, where Mazara del Vallo's red shrimp is highly regarded. 

And for dessert we stick with the coral theme: Panna cotta alle fragole e basilico con coralli di lampone- Strawberry Panna cotta by Spigmattando.
